Mixed Zone

Q. Level par yesterday, 5-under today, what was the difference between the two days?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: You know, like get a lot of up-and-down, just hit a lot of greens today.

Q. How is the golf course? You have an extremely calm demeanor. What are the challenges that Carnoustie could present over the weekend?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: I felt like, you know, of course to play on a link, you have to stay away from the fairway bunkers, and I try and do that all week, of course.

For me, the key is just like hit it fairway and greens, and you know, try to give yourself a good chance for birdie, if you can. I think Carnoustie is like really -- it's been tough out there. Even in the nice day like today, but you just always have to kind of stay on top and like be alert all the time and also just be patient out there.

Q. Touched upon the importance of having great mental focus out there. How do you prepare and practise that mental strength, especially coming into a major championship?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: It's just something I've been working on all the time every week, and just, you know, keep doing it. It's about like, you know, attitude on the golf course, really, and especially on this golf course, you just have to be really good attitude out there and like just -- you know, like keep moving on, like if you hit one bad shot, just keep move on and hit another shot.

Q. What was your shot of the day today?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: I would say a second shot on the last hole was pretty good, a pretty good one, yeah.
