Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: All right, here ahead of the Standard Portland Classic. Back to defend your title. Talk about last year and all the memories you have playing the practice round and being back here.

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Well, this is my first practice round today, and it's been, you know, like it's always felt great to come back here. Like I love this place. You know, especially like Portland is a lot of fun things to do.

Course is in the great shape. You know, it's a nice like place to come back. There is a lot of memories.

Q. And you have the win but you also have a lot of good finishes here. What about this course or this place really suits your game?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: I don't know. I find like this golf course is not like wide open or like you have to like bombed it everywhere. You have to kind of hit different clubs off the tees. I think that's what is kind of fun about this golf course.

Q. Can you talk about your season and where your game is on the right now.

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: I got a little bit -- like pretty good start in the season and then not quite like great the last few months. But then I guess like you know it's like part of the golfer, you know, players, you kind of have to work through something during the season. I know, there is always like something that you have to like working on.

Q. Is there anything specifically that you worked on heading into this week?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Not much. In general, just kind of keep it simple as much as I can like before the tournament start.

Q. And then last one. Do you have any goals or anything, maybe some objectives you're trying to hit this week?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Not really. My goal is just come out there and just enjoying the moment and like being present as much as I can. You know, like it's a good place. Like why don't you enjoy it?
