EVIAN MASTERS


July 27, 2007


Jin Joo Hong


EVIAN-LES-BAINS, FRANCE

PAM WARNER: We have Jin Joo Hong, also at 7-under and tied for the lead. Can you just talk about your round today and how you played?
JIN JOO HONG: The shots were like very unstable but the short game and the putting was pretty good for today. So that's why I made a lot of par saves and when I had a chance to birdie, I made those.
PAM WARNER: Can we go over your birdies and bogeys on your scorecard? Birdie on 5 was your first one.
JIN JOO HONG: First of all, driver was okay and then the second shot was on the green like three yards from the pin.
PAM WARNER: What club did you use?
JIN JOO HONG: 52. And I made that.
PAM WARNER: Birdie on 9, the par 5.
JIN JOO HONG: Driver to 65 yards. Third shot was 65 yards from the pin and I played a 58-degree wedge. The putt was four yards.
PAM WARNER: Bogey on 10.
JIN JOO HONG: Driver and 7-iron. It was on the green from the right side so I 3-putted it.
PAM WARNER: Then you came back with a birdie on 11.
JIN JOO HONG: Driver and 6-iron to the right side of the green, four yards from the pin.
Drive went into the rough and I hit 8-iron out. It was short and hit the tree and it was like 25 yards from the pin, 58 degree wedge and it was a little far from the pin, but it was on the green.
Next 3-wood, I was 70 yards from the pin. I used my 58-degree wedge and it was on the green. The putt was really, really long, more than like ten yards. It was really, really long, and I made that putt, about ten yards. It was pretty far.
PAM WARNER: You're in the lead. How do you feel going into this weekend with the lead?
JIN JOO HONG: It's the first tournament I'm leading this year and I'm pretty happy about it.
My shots today were really unstable so I want to make it right and I want to play on the weekend really, really well and I want to do the right things on the weekend and make things happen.
PAM WARNER: You won last year in Korea to join the LPGA Tour, will you use that win, the experience that you had there, for the weekend?
JIN JOO HONG: It's not the same but I'm using the experience from when I won. It's different from Korea and here, so I just have to make adjustments on it. I want to do well, yeah.

Q. What was the tournament you won?
JIN JOO HONG: KOLON-Hana Bank Championship.

Q. Are you feeling nervous at all about going into tomorrow being co-leader?
JIN JOO HONG: Not yet. I actually don't recognise the nerves and everything.
I was kind of nervous yesterday because I was at third, but now I'm fine with it.
PAM WARNER: Thank you very much.
