JASON TAYLOR: Yani, thanks for joining us today. Nice round. 3-under par for the opening round this week. How do you feel about your performance today?
YANI TSENG: I feel pretty good today, but I didn't play the tournament for two weeks, so kind of very exciting and looking forward for this tournament.
But I hit solid and I make 3-under par for today.
Q. Did you work with your coach in your two weeks?
YANI TSENG: Yeah. I changed a little bit swing from last two weeks, so I try to just stay used to my swing. But I didn't work that much with my coach, but I still just get used to my swing and practice a little bit.
Q. What did you change specifically?
YANI TSENG: I change my backswing, because when I was at Canada, my swing was terrible, like an amateur. So I just feel like my coach keeps telling me, you need to change a little bit. So I change my backswing and take a little bit inside.
Q. You missed the cut for the first time in Portland. Was that part of what made you go back and work on your swing?
YANI TSENG: I think that tournament just mental things. The first one -- I kind of bring a little bit from Canada. I still feel very sad and I couldn't really feel.
But I feel it's really good. I missed the cut and I learned a lot things. Even from the last group, I feel I learned more than when I miss cut I feel like learn a little more than when I'm was in last group.
So I feel I go up a little bit, so I know what I am going to do now.
