Quick Quotes

Q. Jeeno Thitikul is with us now at the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship. Jeeno, 6-under through two rounds. How are you feeling heading into the weekend?

JEENO THITIKUL: Feel really good. You know, like to be honest, didn't thought it's going to be that good result out there.

To be honest, even you know especially today just said to my coach, like if anybody can shoot like under par today, that person or that player will be really, really great.

I'm shooting 2-under par and I was like, wow. Because I think even 1-over, 2-over, I'll take it today.

As you see the pin position-wise and the wind was so strong.

Q. How much was the scrambling a factor for you? You had a lot of up and downs, good recoveries. How much did that make a difference?

JEENO THITIKUL: I think like I said to be honest here if you put yourself in the fairway, it's good enough to -- you know because like the rough is so long. Sometime if you're not have a good line, and then I have been, yeah, scrambling it a little bit.

You know, like have some shaping shots. Have some, you know, putts outside of the green to make a par.

Q. You talked about living at home and having a tournament commute. You tee'd of at 1:55. What was your morning like? Did you run errands?

JEENO THITIKUL: To be honest I was so exhausted today because I have been like doing houseworking. I live with four men, which is they're keeping my house clean at all. So I had to go with trash cleaning up all the tables, doing some things this morning. And I do (indiscernible) too this morning.

Q. What time did you get up?

JEENO THITIKUL: I get up today 6:40 I believe. 6:40, 6:45.

Q. You had plenty of time to do all that.

JEENO THITIKUL: Yeah, after I breakfast I did like two hours doing that.

Q. 8th hole, 17, only about 157-yard hole. How far are you trying to carry your tee shot on that?

JEENO THITIKUL: On No. 8, right?

Q. No. 8.

JEENO THITIKUL: Par-3, right.

Q. Uh-huh.

JEENO THITIKUL: I think I just hit my full 9-irons, which is mean normally carry like 142, 143, so with the wind help it should carry -- can carry over 150 because it's helping like from right to left.

Which is good. I saw Lydia was hitting 8 and then Nelly is hitting 9 I guess. It's pretty I guess good shot that I have been hitting out there on No. 8.

Q. Do you almost have to hit that to the middle of the green or front to let it get back to the hole? Did that come off -- the way it finish address, is that how you envisioned that shot?

JEENO THITIKUL: To be honest to me, I didn't even -- I trying to be -- to get ball stop on the green. If not, over to the left it's not that hard to be up and down for par.

Yeah, I trying to carry the bunker in front and then give myself a chance to making birdie on the green or making par outside of the green.
