Q. Jeeno, 4-under par today, even par through eight holes. Despite this bogey on 16, 4-under the last 11. Got to be fairly pleased with the day and certainly some good putting out there, too.

JEENO THITIKUL: Yeah, I mean, like really good start for sure. I mean, like, and under par, I'll take it every single day. But, you know, like, you know, even you shoot how low you shoot, but you still have something that's a mistake and then you want to work it on anyway.

But overall I think it's really good start for the week.

Q. Certainly is. Now 47-under par by my calculations for your last nine rounds around here. I know you play well everywhere around the world, but obviously there is something specific about this place you enjoy, too.

JEENO THITIKUL: I think I do enjoy everything here. I always say feel like a semi Thailand for me to be honest. Because like everyone in my team is here. My dad was here this week, too. And then also the fans give me really a goose bump sometimes.

And then, I don't know, I just really enjoy to be here in Malaysia.

Q. We were running a fan poll on television today of who was the most popular player, and you won that with 54%. Anything you would like to say to the fans out there?

JEENO THITIKUL: Oh, really? Thank you. Because of face or because of the golf performance?

Q. Let's go with both.

JEENO THITIKUL: (Laughter.) Both. I'll get it.

Q. By my calculations you also hit a couple drives over 300 yards today on the 7th hole and the 18th hole. Everyone out there wants to hit the ball further. Any tips for anyone watching?

JEENO THITIKUL: You need to born in a hot country. You need to, because it's humid. But I don't know. I was really used to the weather. I know it's hot and humid and then really like killing out there, but I just really be comfortable to this weather.
