CANADIAN PACIFIC WOMEN'S OPEN


August 25, 2017


Sherman Santiwiwatthanaphong


Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Q. So two great rounds for you. How do you feel today?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: I feel pretty good. It's good weather. People are coming to watch. I've never seen a lot of people come watching us like this, so I have my whole family here and they just walked all 18 holes. What a great, great day.

Q. It's got to be good to have all the support for you then?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: Yeah.

Q. How many in your family? Are both your mother and your father?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: My father, my mother, and my sister.

Q. Where do they live?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: Thailand.

Q. In Thailand?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: Yeah.

Q. Did they come here just to visit you?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: Yes. So not much they're going to -- like my mom and my sister, not much that they're going to watch me play.

Q. So there's not much that they're going to watch you play?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: Yeah, because time in Thailand is like midnight, so they early sleep, yeah.

Q. When did they arrive?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: They were in Scotland, and we just had some vacation in London for two weeks and then come here.

Q. So are you exhausted then?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: Uh-huh.

Q. So they joined you in Scotland then?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: Yes.

Q. What is your goal for this week? Obviously, it's to play well. But what do you have to do to give yourself a chance to win this tournament?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: I just try to play like shot by shot. I mean, I really concentrate about my mental game. That means I just want to focus on one shot, one by one. So, yeah, that helps me to play better.

Q. The last question I have, and I mean this in a fun way. I'm going to try to say your name, and I want you to tell me how close I come.
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: Okay.

Q. Sherman Santiwiwatthanaphong.
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: That's perfect, actually. I like it.

Q. Can I get a job just doing that?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: Someone just said I practiced your last name for one year, and I've got it. I'm going to show you.

Q. So you spent two weeks in London?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: Yes, about almost two weeks.

Q. What did you do while you were there?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: My sister had a lot of plans. So she likes shopping, and we went to Manchester United, like. I like that team. So I really love it. We went to Liverpool. So, yeah, it's pretty good too. We went to Big Ben and had good food. I like to try the local food, so it's pretty good.

Q. Did you see football games?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: No, just go to the field.

Q. So you visited the stadiums?
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: Yes.

Q. That had to be fun.
SHERMAN SANTIWIWATTHANAPHONG: Yeah, but I missed the game because they have the game on Saturday, but I left on Saturday.
