Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Yealimi Noh after her final round here at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G. First career ace on No. 15. Just take us through the hole. What was the club selection, yardage, all that.

YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, so I hit 9-iron. It was 127. I think it pitched about five past the hole and I actually went to pick up my tee before it dropped. I was like, it actually looks kind of good. I was picking up my tee and saw it and saw it go in, so it was pretty cool. It was my first one this tournament ever.

Q. So have you had one before?

YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, but in a tournament. It's a little different in a tournament.

Q. Obviously happened pretty early in the round. Did that set the tone for the rest of the round?

YEALIMI NOH: Oh, for sure. I just wanted to keep riding on the momentum. Had a great front nine and solid back nine.

Q. Gave it a good effort to catch up to the leaders; just kind of ran out of steam a little bit at the end. What was mindset coming into today knowing what you had to do?

YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, I think I just kept the same mindset: Hit a lot of greens, a lot of, fairways and then just gave myself a lot of opportunities.

Q. Lastly, unless Josh has any questions, first tournament back since Solheim Cup. Any huge adjustments you've had to make going from that kind of event back to just you and your caddie?

YEALIMI NOH: Not really. Had a new caddie fill in for me this week, too, so a little bit of a new thing for me this week.

But, no. Just back to work.

Q. So after that hole-in-one, you rally off three birdies. How were you able to just make some of those birdies after hitting a hole-in-one. Had to be a pretty special moment for you.

YEALIMI NOH: Yeah, for sure. Just have to calm down and get back into the rhythm of hitting fairways and greens. Hit some good putts that just rolled in.
