CHANETTEE WANNASAEN: Yeah, actually today play really good. Like after AIG I have a little bit struggle with my swing, so like I cannot hit like a solid shot.
So that happened until Boston, and then the week before Kroger is off, right? I talk to my coach and then Jan, Thai player. She help me and right now it's pretty much better today. So like that make me like get more confident to hit the shot, yeah.
Q. What were you looking to take advantage of? Just the accuracy with your driver? Hitting the ball better? What was working so well?
CHANETTEE WANNASAEN: Actually I think, yeah, driver is pretty good. For the second shot or the third shot it's like always on the green, so that like have a lot of chance to make a birdie and make a score.
I putt really well today.
Q. What did Jan tell you if you can share that maybe helped you get yourself and your game...
CHANETTEE WANNASAEN: Yeah, so after AIG I had the week off in Thailand, right, like two weeks. So I practice but not that much. I think so that why I have a little bit struggle in my swing.
Then I don't know how to fix my swing because like really feeling player, and I talk to my coach, but, you know, like I still can't find the feeling.
And Jan, she just like gave the hint a little bit, like sometime when I stand a little bit like far from the ball, so she just told me like, can you come close.
And then my feet a little bit wide open, so needs -- like can you a little bit closer and then the right feet a little bit up, like this.
Q. You had a hole-out looks like on No. 10 today. Walk us through that hole and that shot where you holed out for eagle.
CHANETTEE WANNASAEN: So that shot, I think I hit 9-iron so actually that was perfect shot. So after I hit I just feel like, oh, this one going to be close to the pin. I didn't like expect it's going to roll to the pin.
Q. Obviously a hot start; a really strong start is always great. How do you continue to build on this? What do you take from today's you look ahead to your next three rounds?
CHANETTEE WANNASAEN: So I'm just like hit the ball like better, so it's really tough because like in Evian, in Portland, in Canada, and in Boston I just feel like I cannot hit the ball; really cannot hit the ball. So that made me lose confident.
But this week is pretty like earn more confident from today, so I just want to enjoy. Right now just hit good. Just want to continue hit like this until end of this year, yeah.
