Q. Take me through those three holes and what happened.

WICHANEE MEECHAI: It's, for me, I think it's so stupid bogey because I hit it like in the fairway and I have like 9-iron in my hand.

I couldn't pitch it like way I want, so it's hard to putt. Those green was just so hard. I just, you know --

Q. Put yourself in bad positions on the green?

WICHANEE MEECHAI: I think so, but I have to be patient with you're not going to make a lot of like birdies on this golf course.

And if it's made bogey it was fine. For me. Just bogey is fine.

So I'm trying to come back and then just stay on my game. If I get a chance to make birdie, I made, yeah.

Q. So on 14 and 15 did you three-putt those holes for bogey or miss the greens?

WICHANEE MEECHAI: I missed the green.

Q. With 9-iron?

WICHANEE MEECHAI: Yeah, with 9-iron in the fairway. Not so bad so good.

Q. What happened on 16 for birdie after those two bogeys?

WICHANEE MEECHAI: Actually that putt was kind of hard. It's like hit it like back of the hole because I had like very downhill putt.

I just feel like I'm just going to -- if I going to miss the putt, I prefer go down there to putt it up better to have downhill save for par.

Yeah, I have that kind of target and then I putted and make it.

WICHANEE MEECHAI: Yes.

Q. At Ohio State. What was that experience like? Stressful I'm sure.

Yeah, it's the same thing, like the setup was kind of tough and it's firm and it's like windy on that day, so I trying to stay patient, and, yeah, like just shot 2-under to make it, which is not high score I think.
