Si Woo Kim shared his Saturday playing experience at the RBC Heritage

Si Woo Kim joined the press conference at the RBC Heritage on April 19 and shared his playing experience at the tournament on the third day. He shared ( via ASAP Sports):

“I played great. Only missed the last hole, so that's not a big deal. So I play pretty much 35 holes really decent. So I'm not going to worry about the last hole for tomorrow. Yeah, I'm in a good position. I've been playing good. Especially iron play is really good for this week. Yeah, just one more day left.”

Kim continued to talk about the 18th hole and the most important shot of the day. His words were:

“I kind of like pulled the tee shot, so kind of like a little tough angle for me, especially to that pin. But it wasn't bad. Even second shot, I hit it perfectly. I thought it went more. I hit it Thursday, Friday, Saturday, same spot. Hopefully tomorrow I can hit it on the green…I think it was No. 15 putt. That was pretty big for me. Even missed the last putt -- even missed the last hole. So I think still in the position. I think it was a good putt for today.”

Kim ended the interview by mentioning that there was pressure to be in the final group, but the second birdie helped him get confidence.
