Quick Quotes

Q. An amazing round today, talk about what went so well for you?

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: Pretty sure that my putting was on fire today. I made a lot of putts, and I hit some really good shots that gave myself good opportunities for a birdie putt, and I made a few. Yeah, overall, it's been a great day.

Q. What exactly about your putting? Obviously you were making it but do you just think you were reading the lines really well, the speed?

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: I think the speed matching up the line very well today, and I think I hit more greens, and also put myself in good positions for approach shots. That's definitely helped a lot.

Q. And we've seen a lot of different scores today compared to yesterday. Can you talk about the difference, especially in your game that you saw?

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: The wind definitely slowed down a little bit. I think yesterday, especially the front nine, I think the course played a little tougher. Yeah, so I just tried to really focus and concentrate on the numbers, and I've been doing it pretty good today.

Q. Yesterday you played 1-over, and today you have six birdies and you're 4-under, I believe. What was the change?

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: Again, I think I was doing well off the tee and approach shots, and I made some really good putts today. I didn't really make a lot of mistake out there, so it was definitely a help for me to go quite low today compared to yesterday.

And again, yesterday was -- I think the front nine was a little bit fast and tough for me just because the wind and everything. I just try to kind of pull myself together and get back on track and try to focus on the game?

Q. What do you hope for the weekend?

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: Again try to keep this momentum and will continue to make some more putts and give myself good opportunities for approach shots and a lot of opportunities out there. Try to collect some.

Q. This year is the International Crown, as well. How much of a motivation is that for you for this year?

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: Yeah, it will be an honour to see, actually, to be able to join the team. Again, I think it doesn't matter who will be playing to me. I think all for the country, and whoever gets selected to play, I think it will be a fun, fun match and it would be an honour for me if I get a chance to do so.
