Quick Quotes

Q. Okay, here with Chanettee after her first round at the Buick leaning Shanghai. 4-under 68. Talk a little bit about your day today and just how you feel your game is overall.

CHANETTEE WANNASAEN: Actually today I would say it's pretty good because, you know, like the week I play in Hawai'i I hit not good. So this week I hit really good.

And so it's first time play this course, so the setup is pretty long course. And then I made a couple birdie and just one bogey so pretty good today.

Q. Yeah, a lot of players have mentioned that the course is playing pretty long today. How do you kind of manage your game to try to take advantage and make birdies?

CHANETTEE WANNASAEN: Well, I would say like par-3 is pretty long, so I don't think I made birdie on par-3. Or maybe -- I don't think so.

So I would say like the par-4 have a couple hole like give you a chance to like make a birdie, like if they short par-4, just like wedge.

Like, yeah, so I made the birdie from that couple of holes.

Q. And talk about your experience on this golf course. It's new. How have you enjoyed it so far?

CHANETTEE WANNASAEN: Well, I would say because I always play good with the golf course that good condition, so I would say this course pretty good like condition. Because last year I skip, so I don't know what's the course play; this year is pretty good.

The course was long, yes, but the green was like tough, speed was pretty fast, grass was perfect. So I was happy to play with this condition.

Q. And like you said, a very good round today. What are you going to need to continue to do into tomorrow and the into the weekend to keep your name up near the top of the leaderboard?

CHANETTEE WANNASAEN: Well, I would say I have to like, you know, calm down, because I play really fast. But this course is tough if you don't hit in the fairway and then, you know, like because it's pretty long, then if you hit in a fairway, that give a chance to like hit on the green and made the putt.

So I would say just hitting fairway first.
