SIME DARBY LPGA MALAYSIAOctober 13, 2013Shanshan FengKUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA Q.  You followed up your win with a runner‑up finish. That's pretty awesome. You didn't play in the final round, but you kind of surged back. Just talk about the day today. SHANSHAN FENG: Well, I was in the second‑to‑last group, so to be honest I had less pressure than the other girls. I started six back, I believe, and I knew, because I played with Lexi yesterday, she's in good shape. We know she's not going to do bad today, so I had to shoot a really low score to catch her, which I tried but I didn't make. My iron shots weren't that accurate and didn't make too many putts. But I think 4‑under is still a very good round for me. Q. You have to be pleased just in general, and the birdie on 18, that had to be a cherry on top? SHANSHAN FENG: I had a very good finish. It was birdie‑par‑birdie. Q. Going into next week just continuing what you've been doing? SHANSHAN FENG: Next week I'm off. I'm going home. I'm resting next week. Q. And then Taiwan after? SHANSHAN FENG: No, Japan. I'm playing four weeks in a Japan. Q. So you're doing some JLPGA? SHANSHAN FENG: Yes. Q. Do you now wish you kind of continued on, keep going‑‑ SHANSHAN FENG: Yeah, I mean, after the win last week, the pressure is off, and I got my confidence back and I'm really relaxed on the courses. I really enjoy playing now. Q. One more question about Lexi winning: How good is that for the Tour? She's been one of the faces and stars. She's going to win her first as a member. How big is that for the Tour in terms of exposure? SHANSHAN FENG: Yeah, just kidding, I think she's making us look old. Going with her yesterday, watching her swing, she can swing like so hard and it doesn't hurt her body. I was like, oh, very nice to be 18. I mean, of course it's going to be huge because it's going to encourage a lot of the junior players to actually turn pro, and turn pro earlier because I think a lot of them have been going to colleges and then coming out, especially for Americans I would say that, because for Asians we mainly turn pro when we get to 17 or 18. So I think it's really good if we can have a lot more good young American girls to come on the Tour, because it is the American Tour, right? We want to see more Americans.
