Q. Down here on the presentation podium with our champion, Jeeno Thitikul. Going to hand over this trophy. Jeeno, congratulations. I know this is the one you really wanted to win. Where does this achievement rank in all the things you've done in your career?
JEENO THITIKUL: I mean, I would rate it like A+++ something. I mean, you know, like I know it's not that big event like compared to the majors, but like for us, for me, winning in my home country just means a lot to me, sometime more than a major feeling.
Q. With the crowds we had here today it had that major feeling. Certainly a big event. During the final round did you know where you were standing on the leaderboard? Did you know what you had to do there on 18?
JEENO THITIKUL: I think I kind of know what I had to do on 18 because like I -- because we had to wait for them to finish, so kind of know my position. But the chip that I have wasn't this easy, so I trying to get it up there and make some putts.
Q. What does it mean to win in front of family and friends? You said yesterday this is the only event your mother gets to come and watch you in person. What does that mean to you?
JEENO THITIKUL: Yeah, it's mean a lot. My mom just came up to me when I finished 18 and she cried a lot, and then I told her, I finally won the tournament in front of you. Like you were here with me. So she's just really emotional. Make me emotional, too.
Q. That's fantastic. You deserve it. You can celebrate with your family. Before you do that, lift that trophy up one more time for us.
