Q. That was a nice hole‑in‑one out there today. Remind me what hole that was on?
JING YAN: No. 3, I think.
Q. And you were on Beach or Creek?
JING YAN: Beach.
Q. All right. What happened there, can you tell us about it?
JING YAN: Wind was blowing a little left to right, it was 151 to the hole. I wanted to hit a 6‑iron, but then it was kind of in between clubs, so talked to my caddie and we went with a 7. Just carried the bunker. Hit the shot with a little bit of a draw. Really liked the look of it, but I didn’t really think it was going to go in the hole. Then my fellow players and caddies are like, “Oh, there’s a chance of it going in.” I didn’t see it go in, but yeah, it went in and I was pretty happy about it.
Q. How many other holes‑in‑one have you had?
JING YAN: I’ve had four total, but this is my first one in a tournament.
Q. First in competition, that’s got to be a really good feeling.
JING YAN: Yeah.
Q. And then on top of that it’s the $20,000 to St. Jude, which is great on top of that as well.
JING YAN: Yeah, I think that’s the best part.
Q. It’s got to be fulfilling to see whenever our sponsors do something like that?
JING YAN: Yeah. I mean, it’s so awesome, like, to be able to help out the kids and, you know, just having it in a tournament with my first one, being able to do that just makes it way more special.
