Q. Here with defending champion Jeeno Thitikul with a 67 to start the week. What was your mindset coming into today's rounds?
JEENO THITIKUL: Nothing. Four more left. Four more day left. Just pretty like relaxing week to be honest.
I know like we playing for $4 million checks, but to me I think it's just like almost a bonus for me like this kind of year to be able to play here.
I have been a really good run for the year, so nothing to think about that much?
Q. So how does that influence how you approach this week then? Does that dial back some of your practice time? Does influence your mindset when you're coming into it with that sort of approach that it's just a bonus; is that how you approach a lot of the other weeks?
JEENO THITIKUL: I think so. I do love like the back of Asian Swing till now, starting from Buick until now.
I do have fun. I mean, like I had a good time in Thailand where I just reminding myself Jeeno outside the golf course, not Jeeno inside the course.
And I think coming to this week I just kind of worry about my wrist, my right wrist. It's a new position that I had hurt a little bit last week, so just be able to play today has been really bonus.
Q. What have you been doing to try to rehab and keep your wrist healthy for this week?
JEENO THITIKUL: Yeah, I did a lot of treatment with my physio this week and last week too. I ice every time that I finishing the round or finishing practicing.
I haven't hit the balls that much this week. I mean, like I'm trying to protect it. But hopefully it's in a good sign now. Today it's like almost 100%.
Q. And what is it that caused the injury last week?
JEENO THITIKUL: I have no idea. Maybe like it's too hard ground in Dallas during the winter, during fall I mean.
Q. How much are you in pain actually on the golf course swinging a golf club?
JEENO THITIKUL: It does bother me sometime if I like to hit driver or 3-woods, kind of long irons.
But obviously today was better, way better than I got -- because I got it Wednesday last week.
Q. What will you do the rest of the day? Any practice or rehab on your wrist?
JEENO THITIKUL: Definitely going to do a rehab. I have to do the ice right away after I finish. I think nothing to complain about the game, so I'll just rest.
