Quick Quotes

Q. All right, here with Jeeno Thitikul after her third round here at the LOTTE Championship presented by Hoakalei. Another great round from you today; 67 overall. Just kind take us through the round. What are you doing so well on this course that is allowed you to score so well?

JEENO THITIKUL: I mean, like I said, the course, you know, kind of wide open if the wind wasn't picked up.

Talk about wide open, but I put one in the water today. (Smiling.) But obviously I think the wind kind of less than what I expected to be. That's why it's make kind of easier for us.

I think my irons and pretty good on the past few days. Hopefully tomorrow going to be like this, too.

Obviously all the games that I have now I feel pretty okay. I'm pretty good with that.

Q. You talked about your irons. You only missed one green in regulation today. You lead the field in greens in regulation percentage. Is that what's contributing to your success this week is the short approach to the green and making sure your iron game so well?

JEENO THITIKUL: Yeah, definitely. I mean, like the more chance you have the more opportunity that you can make it. I know it's really depend on the putter, if get on fire or not.

To be a consistency playing of week to week to week, you need to have a consistency greens in regulation as well. You can't miss a green and shoot like 5-under par every day. It could happen, but it's not going to happen often.

So to have a games that your ball is always on the green, which is how you can play golf simple.

Q. Then got to play with Polly Mack today, one of our longest hitters on Tour. You are actually? Third in the field in driving distance so far this week. What's working so well off the tee, especially with the driver?

JEENO THITIKUL: Maybe we get into the downwind too much. (Laughter.)

I mean, she actually told me like, oh, you're hitting far. I'm like -- we were at the score tent and then she's like, you're hitting far today. I'm like pound per pound, I'm not bad. Then my height, I'm not bad.

I mean, I taking it and I just talk to her like LPGA should do like long drive contest. Should be really amazing how the fans can get involved and see. I don't know, Craig, if you possible to make it. I think should be fun.

(Laughter.)

I know it's adding your job on, but I think it just should be really fun one to watch. I'm not going to be in that, but I will watching in the couch.

Q. Last one: Hunting down hopefully your fourth win of the season, what is it going to take to hopefully lift another trophy?

JEENO THITIKUL: Obviously going to make a lot of birdies, some birdies I would say. It's not a course that you just sit down and hope for everyone not catching you. You have to go far away from them, too.

So I feel like the birdies is only answer and then good golf, good game, good tempo.
