Q. Jeeno, a brilliant round of 65. The crowd are loving it. You got a lot of fans in Malaysia. How are you enjoying yourself?
JEENO THITIKUL: I do enjoy it a lot. Especially if you're playing good you enjoy yourself more than you're playing bad for sure.
And then it's just another day at the office. Also have the fans coming out to cheering is...
Q. Another day at the office with eight birdies thrown in; a round of 65. Talk us through the last three holes where you finished birdie, birdie, birdie.
JEENO THITIKUL: I don't know what's going on. I trying to make birdie on 16 because they move the tee up and it just reachable par-4. I drive it to the water in the first day so I just, you know, in anger, emotion, really want to make a birdie there, so I did today.
And then 17 just really interesting birdie that I had because I go into the right rough, which is so downwind, which is kind of hard. I don't know how I make it.
18 also par-5. I think you had a good chance on par-5 anyway.
Q. What's it like having this number of fans? If you look behind you, they're all out here.
JEENO THITIKUL: I know. I know. I don't know. Like I always say, it seemed like mini Thailand for me. I mean, all of them are cheering and then like every year I came here, the fans get more and more.
So just happy to be here and then show them what I had.
Q. You're happy so you're playing well. What number do you think it's going to take tomorrow from you, what score?
JEENO THITIKUL: I don't know. Definitely red number. (Laughter.)
Q. The most birdies you've had is 12 I believe in a round. Might you need that tomorrow to hunt down Hye-Jin Choi?
JEENO THITIKUL: Yes. Seem far away, but yes.
Q. Never know. The crowd are going to be behind you. Let's hear it for Jeeno.
(Crowd cheering.)
JEENO THITIKUL: Thank you.
