Winner comments
“Yeah, last week on final round my shot is so bad there, so I just call my Korean coach every day. I ask him,
what's the problem? What's it mean? What's the problem for me? He said, no problem, Haeran. Just keep
focus and keep calm and more trust your golf. Yeah, that's good for me. And then more consistence my shot and came back to win here.”
We love the laid back approach of her coach!
An albatross
The Queen of Understatement, Stephanie Kyriacou, on her albatross at the 18th.
“Yeah, I mean, I just nailed my driver, my second shot. Second shot was actually a pretty good number. It was 212 meters to the flag and my 5-wood carries like 195, so it just landed short, bounced up. I was just trying to hit on the green to be honest. Then I smoked it and it went in. But like I kind of stopped watching it and every win was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, and then they cheered. I was like, oh, that's pretty good.”
