I don’t remember how I putted on those last three holes. I just tried to make birdie, I didn’t think about anything, I just putted and I’m so excited right now.

Soomin is a good friend of mine and I am so happy that he won the Shenzhen International. I win also so maybe I'll party with Soomin.

It's tough to take, but I have no regrets. I tried my best and I'm proud of myself. It was such a tough day, you had to concentrate so hard on every single shot.
