Q. You were the last to get into the field here this week at the CME Group Tour Championship. Played your way to the top of the leaderboard with that hot round today. What was your mindset coming into the week?

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: Embracing the moment. It's always fun to be here, season finale. You know, it's always -- I like coming back here. I'm sure everybody.

So it's a lot of fun to be able to play well and hopefully will keep the momentum going.

Q. It's always fun to have a chance to play for $4 million for sure. You had a near flawless round today. That double bogey, you managed to bounce back with back-to-back birdies. How would you describe the round overall?

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: I'm really pleased with how I play. I think it's golf. It's not perfect, even though you tried your best. Again, I think I gave a lot of good opportunities out there and I made -- I hit some good shots and made some good putts.

So I just try to take a good, positive thing from today.

Q. What do you think will be the key to keeping the momentum going the next three days?

PAJAREE ANANNARUKARN: Just keep on focusing on my routine and be patience, because I think a lot of girls out here, you know, great golfers out here, so they will be for sure try to go low.

Just try to be with yourself and be patience out there.
