The earthquake that rattled Baja California on Sunday afternoon shook the ground at Mission Hills Country Club while LPGA Kraft Nabisco Championship winner Yani Tseng met with reporters for her post-tournament news conference.

Tseng, a 21-year-old from Taiwan, won the major championship by a stroke over Suzann Pettersen. She was answering questions and seemed unfazed by the 7.2-magnitude temblor that shook the stage and overhead lights for about 20 seconds.

“We have a lot in Taiwan,” she said of earthquakes. “But this was big…It’s like my big week. I hope nobody gets hurt.”
