Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, here Ariya after her second round at the Black Desert Championship. Another solid day to stay near the top. Of the leaderboard. Talk about your round today.

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I would say it's pretty tough out there today this afternoon because the wind start to pick up. Everything seem to be like more firm.

So it's pretty hard to like approach and adjust the wind and distance.

And overall it's pretty good. I've been missing some putt but overall it's fine.

Q. And I saw that you had double but bounced back with two more birdies. How did you bounce back?

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: So I just, you know, missed the tee shot that hole and I didn't pay attention with that because it's like one bad shot. I just keep doing what I'm doing.

Q. Talk about the greens a little bit. They're very slopey out here. How do you manage some of that especially when they're firm and maybe you can't get it super close?

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I try to read the green all day today, so last few hole I just guessing. Seems like sometimes when you try so hard it not work, so I just try to feel it. Because some short putt is not only slope like one lie, but sometimes double break so it's quite tough.

Q. After seeing the past two rounds, morning/afternoon, any thoughts on the course for the next two days?

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I would say this course can get harder and harder because when it's more firm and windy, so all we do is just be patient because the course can get pretty tough.
