OLYMPIC GAMES RIO 2016: GOLFAugust 10, 2016Thongchai JaideeRio De Janeiro, Brazil Q. What do you think of the golf course? THONGCHAI JAIDEE: Yeah, the golf course is good. It's a good design but it's new. It's good. I think the golf course is fine. The green is quite a challenge. The greens is good for play the kind of setup, anything, the weather, because the golf course is fantastic. Grass is good. Fairway, tee to fairway is good. Green is good. Everything is waiting for another few months, going to be 100 percent. I think it's good. Everyone has same condition. It's new for everyone. Q. It feels very linksy. THONGCHAI JAIDEE: It's very like links but very not, some mix in the design. A few holes going to be very difficult. The par 4, like 12, very small, very tight, and in the second shot, you have to keep the ball in play. It's very challenging. The par3, some is very long, some is middle and some is short. Q. So a good mix of holes then? THONGCHAI JAIDEE: I recommend the back nine is going to be a challenge. It's quite difficult on the back nine. Q. So how do you feel about being here now? You see the Olympic rings over there. It's different, isn't it. THONGCHAI JAIDEE: Exactly, really different. But you know, a few different, but it's 72 holes, no cut, that's good. It's good fun.
