PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW 22 October 2019 SHUGO IMAHIRA Q. About ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP And your expectation? SHUGO IMAHIRA: Tournament in my country, which means I will not going to have any jet lag. I hope I play well. Q, Did you pLAy this course before, and your impression? SHUGO IMAHIRA: I played first time today, 18 holes. Back nine is pretty long, felt difficult. Q. How wAs the green And Around the green? SHUGO IMAHIRA: Pretty sloped green. Each holes has two greens, but the size is pretty big. So if I leave long putt, it will be difficult. Q. You decided not to pLAy HSBC next week. Is thAt you thinking About the money ranking in Japan? SHUGO IMAHIRA: Yes. I am currently on top, so I am thinking about that. I am also thinking about my physical condition. Playing outside Japan, I have to travel so I thought I decided not to. Q. The world’s top pLAyers Are here, the tournAment wiLL be very competitive. SHUGO IMAHIRA: I had a hard time outside Japan in the past, but I am expecting to play better because in my own country. So I am pretty relaxed. Hope I can play like playing Japan Golf Tour. I had difficulty with long flight, not swinging smooth. So I hope better golf. Q. WhAt is necessAry to pLAy soLid four rounds? SHUGO IMAHIRA: Need solid tee shots to keep fairway, and to finish with two strokes from 100 yards. Some of the holes play long, but especially with short holes that I can have short approach. To compete with the world’s top players, I need to start out good. I need to play like usual. Greens are softer than I expected and the rough is not long. I think the score will be pretty low. Q. If you win, wiLL you be pLAying on the PGA Tour? SHUGO IMAHIRA: Winning will be very tough, but playing here means I got the chance. I like to do my best and if it happens, I am more than happy to play on the PGA Tour. Tee-Scripts.com 1 .
