Q. Natthakritta, thank you so much for joining us. 5-under in the third round of the Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific, maintaining your lead. How are you feeling?
NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: I feel excited and a bit nervous, but I can manage myself well.
So today my game, my tee shot was perfect, and I did my approach shot okay. I had many chances to make birdie, but I missed a lot today. So I get mad at myself on the course because I'm not confident yet with my putting.
Q. Let's start with the great parts of your round. Eagle to finish.
NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Yeah.
Q. Tell us about that eagle on the 18th.
NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: It is the best putt of the day. I kept looking as it went 360 around the hole.
Q. How far was the putt, and how relieved after it circled the cup for you to see it go in?
NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Four yards from holes, I missed that so much. Four yards from the hole.
Q. From the start of your tee shot at 18, can you explain to us each shot of the eagle.
NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Yeah, from tee? Okay. I start with my driver and hit very, very straight. My second shot, about 210. Pick up my hybrid or 5-wood. The wind comes against my face like this, and I hit it very straight, and it went to the front of the hole. Yeah, four yards from the hole.
Q. Now you said today you were getting a bit upset with yourself on the golf course.
NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Yeah.
Q. How do you, I guess, calm down and refocus? What did you do?
NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: I keep thinking some hole I will get birdies, and I miss again. I think some hole I will get birdie again. Yeah, I think that over and over again.
Q. You were playing with the Japanese girl Mizuki today. She played very nicely too, and you were tied for the lead. Did you start to feel some pressure?
NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Sure, I feel very pressured when I'm on the course. But I have my own goal today. It's 5-under.
Q. So yesterday the goal was 4-under. Today was the 5-under goal.
NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: So tomorrow is 6-under (laughter). I will beat my goal.
Q. Very good. Now, you have a couple of shots lead heading into the final round. The champion from this event gets to play in two major championships next year. Have you started to think and dream what it might be if you become the champion?
NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Not yet. I'm thinking about tomorrow first and how to talk in the interview tomorrow.
Q. It's been a pleasure interviewing you today and every day.
NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Not as much as the first day and second day (laughter).
