U.S. WOMEN'S OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPMay 31, 2018Ariya JutanugarnShoal Creek, Alabama THE MODERATOR: We are here with Ariya Jutanugarn who shot a 5-under, 67, currently our clubhouse leader. How was it out there? ARIYA JUTANUGARN: So much fun today, especially so today is like my first time playing the front nine. Q. Talk about the eagle on 6. ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I hit a pretty good tee shot. Little bit downwind and hit pretty good 5-iron second shot to the green. Q. Reaction to the course? ARIYA JUTANUGARN: The course is playing pretty tough, and some holes pretty long. It's pretty wet and it's pretty hard to have like -- to hit like tee shot to have like good distance, second shot to the green. Q. How many 3-woods did you hit off the tee or did you hit iron every day? ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I hit 3-wood almost every hole. I hit 2-iron maybe twice today off the tee. Q. Was it an advantage that you were longer than everyone else given how wet the conditions were? ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I didn't hit that long because I hit only 3-wood. Some holes I have to hit it far to the green. Q. What is the plan for the rest of the day? ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I'm mostly going to do nothing. I'm just going to practice a little bit and go back and rest. I woke up pretty early today. Q. Which nine did you say you hadn't seen before? ARIYA JUTANUGARN: Front nine. Q. Was that a worry not having seen that for a major championship? ARIYA JUTANUGARN: Not really. Because my clubs didn't show up on Monday. So I have like more time to do something else. And I pretty trust my caddie. I know he's going to do a good job, so I can trust him. Q. You didn't play on Monday because your clubs weren't here? ARIYA JUTANUGARN: Yeah. I guess they just didn't bring my clubs with the airplane. Q. When did they arrive? ARIYA JUTANUGARN: Monday night. Q. You obviously won last week. What is so good about your game at the moment? ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I'm going to say my game been improving I feel like every week because I work so hard with my short game. I feel like I have better (indiscernible) because the last few months I have been playing pretty good. I really want to win a tournament. I never -- at Kingsmill, I started I'm not going to think about the outcome. I'm not going to think about winning tournament. I'm just going to go out and make sure I have good (indiscernible) every shot. After doing that, I think it's pretty good right now. THE MODERATOR: Thank you. Great playing today.
