Q. Okay, we are here with A Lim Kim after her first round of the 2026 LOTTE Championship presented by Hoakalei. A Lim, you had a bogey-free round today. What's the importance of keeping it low on this course?

A LIM KIM: Trajectory for control and then putting really important this course because very windy.

And then today rain is back and forth, back and forth, so tough conditions. But it was really good play today, yeah.

Q. Awesome. And then this is your fifth start at the LOTTE Championship. Is there anything about this tournament or the course that you keep coming back for?

A LIM KIM: Depends on the (indiscernible) pin positions. Tomorrow I focus again my trajectory for control and then make the putt. That's all. Simple.

Q. And then you had a birdie on your 18th. How did that kind of feel just being able to keep the momentum with the weather going, the strong finish?

A LIM KIM: Honestly No. 18 is little -- make the mistake my chipping, but still really good play today.

I think...

Q. Yeah, so I meant the hole before that.

A LIM KIM: Yeah, probably is good. It's good finish, yeah.
