Quick Quotes


Q. Jeeno, another round of golf that always amazes me, your ability to get the job done on a tough golf course. What is it about tough golf courses that really focuses your mind?

JEENO THITIKUL: I think here it's just being on the fairway, for like to keep your ball on play in the fairway should be a really big key.

And then wasn't that hard for this morning because we got no wind. In the front nine we can be aggressive with the pin. Yeah, that's pretty much -- you have to be really focused, don't go anywhere else except the fairways that you have been doing right there.

Yeah, that's pretty much the focus.

Q. So you had a week off last week after a tough week at Chevron. We have got some majors coming up. How do you use your time off before you come into a tournament like this?

JEENO THITIKUL: I basically kind of relax my mind, going to shoppings. Went to a running, morning run. Got some like relaxing mentals in mind for the health. When I run I just don't think about anything at all. Just so tired and keep it going, going, and going.

And yeah, it's always nice to have a week off, fixing everything that you want to work on, and yeah, just coming back here and be happy to be in the tournament again.

Q. Playing with the world No. 1, Nelly, and with Haeran Ryu just in front of you on a hot streak, does it give you any extra motivation with your game?

JEENO THITIKUL: I think definitely I've been out here every day week in week out, every one it's motivating me to get better and better. You know, the field is getting stronger and stronger. Lots of good players come in. Lots of new face that been doing good out there. So it's just like you can't just sit and then just do what I do. You have to be improving every day.
