“Su-Yeon Jang and I were both part of the Korean National Team together and went to the same high school together as well,” Chun explained. “She’s a great player.”
“We came up together in the amateur ranks,” Jang added through a translator. “We are good friends since amateur and we played tour together. I think tomorrow being paired up with her I’m going to be able to enjoy my round.”

“I think she is very cute and very well mannered, so we really enjoy playing together today.”
