Q. Wonderful day today, in tough conditions you shoot a round of 65 with a double bogey on the card. How does this rank in terms of the way you played over the last, what, eight or nine months or so?

JEENO THITIKUL: Yeah, I mean, I don't know how crazy I am playing out there with this strongest wind ever. On this course, I mean, I'm trying to -- like the strategies for today, I just trying to keep it on the fairway and then on the green.

It's going to be a really like -- I know it's going to be a really tough day and then I have to be patient out there. So I don't know how I did that, but like I take it. (Laughing.)

Q. You did it pretty well. How much did it help having a week off last week to reset ahead of this week?

JEENO THITIKUL: It's helped a lot because after Chevron when I didn't hole any putts at all my brain got to like frustrated and also like burnout with the putting. I have tried so hard, hard in the weekend of Chevron.

Having last week as a week off kind of confirmed that all my stroke, it's good, but except just the line and the speed wasn't matching. But like I had the week off, go have some fun doing things not just golf, which is good. (Smiling.)

Q. And you've got a pretty quick turnaround ahead of tomorrow. Going to play a little bit earlier in the day. How do you come into tomorrow? What's going to be your mindset going up against some of the best players in the world obviously like yourself?

JEENO THITIKUL: Yeah, I think I still going to be like do what I doing out there, because I know that golf taught me to be patient and golf taught me like if you hit a good shot, it wasn't going to mean like you going to have a good putt or not close to the hole at all.

It just depend on the matter of the timing. The wind sometimes it's pick up; sometime it's not. Then I think just keep doing good and good and every shot if the result it's turn out to be good or bad, just accept it.
