Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, here with Hyo Joo Kim. Just wrapped up the FM Championship today. Quite a battle between the other two ladies in your group today. What was it like out there for you?

HYO JOO KIM: (Through translation.) It kept going back and forth with the scores on who would win so no one knew; at the end of the day it was Ronni.

Q. The conditions seemed a bit tougher today. Not too many low scores. What do you attribute that to?

HYO JOO KIM: (Through translation.) Today the greens were definitely harder and I think day by day it was getting harder. So I think that's probably why there weren't as many low scores.

Q. You've had an incredible season so far this year. Would you say you're playing your best golf?

HYO JOO KIM: (Through translation.) Yes, I can confidently say that, yes.

Q. Why do you think that is?

HYO JOO KIM: (Through translation.) In America I've always won once every year while I've played out here. My goal is to win another one before the season ends.

But I think right now I'm concentrating on playing my best golf.

Q. And this week Anna Nordqvist retired. You played some golf with her over the years. Do you have any comment about her retiring this week?

HYO JOO KIM: (Through translation.) She did? Oh, Solheim Cup captain?

I've been on Tour for over ten years now as well. A lot of the players that are retiring are players I've been out with, and I think I've had mixed emotions about that, watching them and planning for mine as well at some point.

But it's both cool and makes my heart a little -- it stings a little just because they're out there.

Q. And last question: Obviously still a great finish this week. How do you use this going into the next stretch? We have three weeks. Do you have any fun plans in the next three weeks?

HYO JOO KIM: (Through translation.) I'm going to be actually seeing my nephew, so I'm going to take a couple days to kind of recover and heal from today, spending time with my nephew, and we'll just work on things I need to work on. And the next tournament will be my sponsor tournament, so just looking forward to that.
