Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Moriya Jutanugarn who's coming off a 7&5 win and also a playoff win. Tell me, I didn't see it so you've got to describe to me how you took home this big playoff win.

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Well, we just play the first hole and I hit it in the fairways -- I mean, we both hit it in the fairways, and the second shot is -- well, the wind just change directions and it's harder to play on the first hole because the pin is just kind of tuck in the left side on the back.

It's just hard to get there. So like I hit it way to the right and then just putt, yeah.

Q. Awesome. You came off the course rather early today. Do you think it helped? I think you had over an hour before you had to get ready for your playoff. Did that rest help do you think?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Help. Seems like it got hotter from the starting this week. It's help like get a little bit of rest and then just get ready for the playoff, yeah.

Q. Yeah, speaking of getting ready for the group round of 16, which you move into tomorrow, how are you managing the fact that you may have two rounds tomorrow? You had two short rounds thankfully today and yesterday; how are you handling that aspect?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Well, I mean, two short round, it's help, you know. Well, just what I have said, like it's match play. You never know how it's going to be or like how it's going to go. Just play one match at a time.

I don't really like plan for anything really. Just what I say, like play one match at a time.

Q. So your sister made it all the way to the semifinals last year. Does she have any advice for you to make it through 72 holes on a weekend?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Maybe drink a lot of water and a lot of rest at night. To be honest, no. She don't even wait for me. She finish and then she left. She's like, I'm hungry.

Yeah, we don't really talk a lot about golf actually.

Q. Do you think she'll hang around and be there for you this weekend?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: I think she going to go -- she going to leave tomorrow and just get ready for The Open.
