Q. So with your 65, putting was the big key?
SE RI PAK: Yeah. First two rounds it was. Especially on, I was really striking it really good but I couldn't much make the putts. Like on 10 to 15, inside there, I could make a hundred percent all those putts, but I feel kind of a little confusing. It looks like I can make more putts, but I just kept missing. And at the same time I just kept missing and I lost the confidence. But tomorrow I just -- I changing my mind so quick that I can play more better in the afternoon.
Q. What has been the key to the development of golf in Korea in the last five years?
SE RI PAK: Well I think it looks like they have much more dream about it. Before nobody thought they were going to play here, the worldwide players to play together. They know it's not easy to play on the LPGA. But a couple years ago, first time I am playing my rookie year and nobody even here. And then I start doing well it looks like all of a sudden they say, oh, why not, I can do that. I saw her do that. So I think that that's why they have many players are thinking whatever they do it gives them a lot of confidence. They come over here and they play a lot and they do well.
Q. Was there any player who came before you from Korea that made you want to come to the LPGA?
SE RI PAK: Actually, no I don't think so, no. By I was always wanting to be number one. I just want to be always to be the best. Always number one. Always my dad told me, one thing you remember is to be number one. Not second. No matter what, a hundred times doesn't count. Just one is what counts. So it really does. I just think, okay, just want to be number one in the world that's what I was thinking. And if I work so hard and still that is still my goal.
Q. Where did you learn to play golf, at one of the many driving ranges in Korea?
SE RI PAK: I started pretty late but I -- basically I started on a wide open golf course and we just sometimes we played that. Now it's better, but it was, a long time ago we had pretty much a hard time to practice. Especially with the putts. It's tough to find a place to practice.
Q. What time did you get up this morning?
SE RI PAK: Wake up, hot shower and then still my body was like, oh, I'm so tired. We finished so late last night. I finished my dinner at 10 and before I was asleep it was 11. And it was like six or seven hours sleep. It's pretty good sleep but when you wake up at 4:30, I don't think you get used to that. But it's fun. One time a year, that's it.
Q. What do you think about Michelle Wie as a player?
SE RI PAK: Well, she can play. She really is strong. Physically she looks really strong. She's got a pretty solid swing too. So she's still young, just needs a little more, get a little more experience. But at her age, I mean it's incredible. I mean really. She has a pretty good swing and she does a pretty good job. So I think she is having fun for this tournament. So, that was pretty good. So, she can be really good player, yes.
