Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Moriya Jutanugarn after round two here in Texas. Playing in the morning versus the afternoon, what are the biggest differences out there on the course? Any new challenges today?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Well, actually the wind is starting to go like pretty early, so, you know, like starting first hole is quite windy, and it's been staying like that for the whole round.

I mean, this morning is quite cold, so like the ball doesn't traveling very far. The green seems to be a bit softer for the front nine.

Q. Yeah, front nine played really well today. Couple of bogeys and then to finish the round, take me through the last couple holes. I know you had a couple bogeys on the card, but how did you end on a good note?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Well, just same thing, you know, like I think like my starting is like a little rough, and then just trying to get it back in play and just play, like have fun, play one shot at a time, and just stay commit.

Q. How good of a score is par out here?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: There is a lot of holes that just what I say, like you can't be super aggressive because the greens is pretty firm and, you know, like sometime depend of what irons you hit into the greens.

It's just like more about like putting in positions, like, you know, where to hit it into the green or like where in the green you want to put the ball.

Q. Speaking of putting it in position, how important is it to just hit those fairways today? I know there is a lot of fairway bunkers.

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Well, I there is a lot of fairway bunkers, but the fairway's quite wide so, you know, like you just have to -- there is some of the hole, because it's so dry and a little windy, so like you could like run out. So just have to pay attention for that a little bit.

Q. On those two bogeys, what went wrong there? Was it putting? Did you get into some trouble on the course?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Can't really remember, but I guess I three-putted on the first hole. I can't remember another one really.

Q. That's okay. That's a good thing to forget, I guess. Thank you.

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Thank you.
