Q. Did the two close finishes help you today, being in the pressure earlier this year in The Corning in the match play?

MEENA LEE: (Through interpretation.) Winning, I was really -- I feel free at the beginning. A little half, I was getting over, very intense.

Q. What does the victory mean to you by itself?

MEENA LEE: (Through interpretation.) I'm LPGA rookie, and I feel confident, and I'm looking forward to future game to be the good scores.

I'm really happy.

Q. You were not looking at a scoreboard, television monitor, when Janice was playing on 18? You heard what happened as opposed to seeing it?

MEENA LEE: (Through interpretation.) Caddie was watching. I was not watching, but caddie was watching. He was explaining to me how Janice was doing, so I know.

Q. I think it was your mother that you saw after finding out that you won. If it was, could I get her name?

MEENA LEE: (Through interpretation.) I was looking for my mother, but she was not anywhere. Last name Lee, first name Keon Soon.
