Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Ronni after her first round. Got off to a hot start there. Can you kind of talk about you mentioned earlier this week weren't feeling the best, but obviously your game was coming around. Talk about the start to your round.

RUONING YIN: I think today obviously I had a good start and this is my first time shooting 20s. I mean, everything works well.

I think I work on my putting for so long and then my long game feels good. I think right now I got all the pieces and just try to puzzle them together.

Q. Talk about this golf course a little bit. Got a lot of rain. How is it playing out there right now?

RUONING YIN: I think front nine, because I only play front nine for practice round, I didn't play the back nine. So today is kind of like my practice round for back nine.

I think it's very, very different. Front nine it's a little -- distance was a little shorter and you don't need to hit driver every hole.

But back nine is a little bit more straightforward. But I think at this course you just make sure you're on the fairway because on the back nine I was -- the three bogeys I was in the rough and if you're in the rough, it's a little thick and you are going to definitely get penalized.
