14 under par until 2R, Yoon or two consecutive losses, and the U.S. life is difficult because he doesn't think about no bogey

Will he feel comfortable playing golf in Korea for the first time in a long time.
Yoon Na-na properly started her second consecutive victory at the Samdasoo Masters in Jeju.
Yoon Na-na hit 8 under par in the second round of the KLPGA Tour Jeju Samdasoo Masters held at Cysrus Golf & Resort in Seogwipo, Jeju on the 8th. Yoon Na-na, who had a good start by hitting six under par in the first round, led the way alone with a scarier performance on the day. After winning this tournament last year, the green light was turned on for defending the title.
No bogey flawless play until round two. After dominating the KLPGA Grand Prize and the top prize winner last season, Yoon Na moved to the U.S. LPGA Tour. However, he is struggling to the extent that he has never made the top 10 of the rookie season. He stepped on his home soil for the first time in nine months to defend the title. Perhaps because he played with a comfortable mind for the first time in a long time, he showed off his perfect performance.
Next is the question and answer with Yoon-na after the second round.
-How was today's game overall?
▶ Like yesterday (the first round), both shots and putts went smoothly today. I was able to make a lot of birdie chances because I had a good shot, and I had up to eight birdies because my putt went well.
-Round 1 and 2 are both no bogey play?
▶I feel really good because I'm no-boy again today. I want to play no bogey until the end of the tournament, but I can't do it well if I really want it. So, I will set the timing well for each shot and keep thinking of a good rhythm with putts, focusing on each and every hole.
-What's the driving force behind 8 BUDDYs?
▶Because the putt was good. Of course, he made a lot of birdie chances, but it is thanks to his good mid- to long-distance putts.
-I think there will be a chance of winning the LPGA like today?
▶I received good energy at the Jeju Samdasoo competition last year, but I'm continuing it this year. He also cautiously thought that if he goes to the U.S. with this trend, he will win soon. Putt and approach were very different in Korea and the United States. I was confused if this was my mistake or because of the grass, but I think it's because I couldn't adjust to the grass rather than my problem.So when I go back to the U.S., I plan to putt with more confidence, and I think I'll follow good results.
-What's the hardest part of adapting in America?
▶Everything is difficult. He expected that it would be difficult to fully adapt from the first year because everything was different from the movement, the eating part, the players he played with, the language and the grass.
-The remaining two days, what part are you going to focus on?
▶If we don't lose the tempo of the game, the rest of the schedule will go well like the first and second rounds. I will focus on both shots and putts so that I don't lose my rhythm and tempo.
-Thoughts on winning the tournament for the second time in a row?
▶I'm trying not to get ahead of myself in advance. I've never won two consecutive games, so I'm so desperate, but if you want it badly, you can't. So, I want to play a process-focused play like yesterday and today.
