Quick Quotes

Q. Joining me after the second round of the Fortinet Founders Cup is Jeeno Thitikul. Jeeno, 6-under today; matched the low round of the day. Can you just talk about your first impression of this golf course and what you think is important to succeed out here?

JEENO THITIKUL: My first impression was like, wow, it's so soft on Monday then it's really surprising me and impressing me on like yesterday that it's so bounce and firm on the green. I was like, wow. How different is it from practice round until the tournament day.

I think we played to me like three, for shots different than practice round at all.

So surprisingly I thought it would be easier than this. I found yesterday it was difficult. (Smiling.)

But if you ask me what to do well here, you have to be on the fairway first. Finds the fairway. The rough was rough.

Q. You played in a fun group today with Linn and Lydia. How is it playing with some girls you obviously get along with really well?

JEENO THITIKUL: Before the pro-am party this week and then I sit with Lydia and then she said oh, I am wondering what's the pairing going to be like and then she said I want to play with you. Like you're my number one. You're easy. You're chillin'. I was like, yes, I am. And I always I love playing with her.

And then also Linn hitting bombs as always and then Lydia is just my -- in Korean they call eonni which is like older sister. I just love everything on her. Her game, her personality.
