Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Atthaya Thitikul, a 3-under start to your week. What was going so well for you out there?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: Well, I would say I had a pretty good shot out there today. My game, it's in a good like -- in a right direction, so just like easy mistake.

Yeah, not a big deal.

Q. You were telling me yesterday that putting was going to be really key out here and you couldn't take anything personally. Did you do a good job staying patient?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: Yeah, really patient on it. I mean, I just saw it rolling like not really well.

I mean, I keep (indiscernible) when it's not rolling as I want it, but it's fine.

Q. How did the golf course play today? It's a little -- pretty warm out there.

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: Yeah, it is. I start a little bit early in the morning, so it's quite cold in like couple holes, but it was fine later.

Q. Heading into tomorrow after a good start, what is your mindset?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: We'll keep our mindset the same. I mean, like here, I mean, if you can keep your ball on the fairway it's a lot better than being in the rough, because the rough little bit sticky and it's hard to get your ball in the green.

So pretty much just keep my ball in the good position.

Q. Played with Pajaree today. Is that somebody that you've known out here for a while, or is that a new friendship that I hope was forged today?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: No, we pretty close together. I mean, we know each other for a long time, but play with her in the course, she's kind of serious and focus person, but outside it's not.

So I can come to her and talk something. I have to like be me and then talk with my caddie until her getting to me -- I mean getting to her.
