I know if I make a 2-putt, I can win this tournament. I just hit it too hard, like three feet, and that's a very kind of nervous putt for that.

The crowd is amazing. When Na Yeon makes birdie, it was like a huge crowd, and I think it's the first time in my life I saw that many people on a golf course.
