Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, here with Hye-Jin after her second round at the Buick LPGA Shanghai. Tough day out there today. Can you talk about the biggest differences you felt from yesterday to today?

HYE-JIN CHOI: Compared to yesterday, on the front nine today I made some mistakes and didn't make a good par save, but because of that, the next shot was kind of hard to me.

And overall it was a tough day to me, yeah.

Q. Even after a tough day, you're still in the lead. Can you just talk a little bit about just the past 36 holes and how you feel your game is.

HYE-JIN CHOI: Actually my body is not in perfect condition but I am still on the lead. I'm really looking forward on the weekend, and I'm just going think about tomorrow and Sunday that I'm just playing first and second round.

I really want to make my first win.

Q. And then your first win, it will be your first win if you win this week. Can you talk about you've had some past experiences being in contention. What have you learned from those experiences that you're going to take into the last two days?

HYE-JIN CHOI: It's really hard for me to say about it because I still have two days left. Actually, it's my fifth year in LPGA Tour. I had a lot of chances before but I kind of missed it.

I had a lot of experience through that, and through the experience if I win this week and like if I win this week, maybe next time if I have another chance, this experience will also help me.
