Second Round Interview with Si Woo Kim
Q. Quite the loud roar today. Why don't we start with the big shot at 16.
SI WOO KIM: This wind's kind of like tough, like left and I'm playing always draw ball, but pin's tight right and then right at the bunker. I'm just trying start left edge of the bunker. Hit it like really good and then wind's kind of come in. Perfect number, too.
Q. Have you ever had a roar, a crowd roar that loud?
SI WOO KIM: No. Last like hole-in-one a lot, but never this loud, first time.
Q. You've got a four-shot lead heading into the weekend. Are you able to relax a little bit tonight? Do you change anything or do you stay doing what you're doing?
