Min-Young Lee(2nd:-3)
“I thought I could make a mistake,or I had only to save a par, because this course setting was quite tough. I was near to win and so very nervous every time I shot. I had a good tempo and that led me to close under par. Winning for the third time probably God presents me in the near future. I’m very fun playing LPGA tournaments. I will try hard and I’m looking forward to winning.”

Asuka Kashiwabara(4th :-1)
“I got confident as I remained in contention in this major. Today I did anything that I hadn’t been able to, and I got strong a little. I would win definitely. How awful! But I did my best. I need a plan how to play 54 or 72 holes .I will adjust my condition to prepare for next week.”

Mamiko Higa(4th:-1)
“I’m glad that I didn’t bogey at all. I haven’t play major long before and I found the course setting more difficult and the strategy indispensable. I could play well keeping my rythum through 72 holes .I could play better than when SALOMPAS. Next major gets near and I could play well again.”

Fumika Kawagishi (4th:-1)
“I rallied in second half. I finished under par to jump in a top-5.It was a great job. If I hadn’t made a double-bogey, I could have remained in contention. I was able to be aggressive trough the round and birdied on the important hole. Issue in the future is to get rid of waste.”

Ai Suzuki(7th:even)
“I shot very well in the first half but in second, shots as well as puttings got worse. I have practiced hard and I have adjusted myself to win this tournament. But how bad putting was ! It was natural consequence. I will adjust my putting and I want to win all the tournaments, of course major again.”
