Q. When did the wind starts blowing, the back-9?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: It's blowing since we start but I mean it's kind of like shoot down a little bit and then it start to like blow a bit harder on the back-9, yeah.

Q. They call this place the Big Dog up here, Hazeltine, for its size, and when the wind starts blowing it can be hard place to play golf.
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Well, I mean I guess it's just the same thing with anyone. Just it is what it is. You have to deal with it, I guess.

Q. So what's it like to be the big sister with the little sister, only a year younger than you? You guys -- I know you root for each other. Is there a little rivalry there when you play each other?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Kind of like always like rooting for her and cheer for her but also I just, you know, like when we play against each other we are for each other. That kind of stuff. Plus good when she's playing good.

Q. They told me when you won last year she was more emotional than you were. She was crying.
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Yeah, she did. I guess just kind of like been waiting for a long time and I just keep getting closer and closer and just, you know, one day show up and kind of time for it.

Everyone just kind of, you know, had a lot of emotional but we've been waiting for a long time and me as well.

Q. How long was it when she started hitting it further than you? Were you kids?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: We actually go out to play, you know, like she's not like as much like bigger than me.

Q. So you were the same size.
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Same size, yeah.

Q. What do you think when all of a sudden she started hitting it out there way past everybody?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Good.

Q. You and her play, 20 yards she giving you or what are you giving her?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: It just depend on how hot she is. Inside 20, 30 past her. Just depend. She's that kind of player. Like a lot of feel and stuff like that, you know, like she got it.

Q. Somebody said this is one of the first times she's had a driver in her bag for this course.
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: I don't know. I haven't -- I mean we play on different wave and I haven't seen her much. I don't even know if she had driver in the bag, to be honest.

Q. I guess she hit two drivers. You always have a driver, right?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Yeah. I need it.

Q. You travel together?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Yeah.

Q. What's your tournament schedule, do you play them all or miss a few? When do you take a break?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: I take ShopRite off, two weeks ago. That's the one she played. And she took last week off. So the rest of the season.

Q. How did you play today?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: It's okay.

Q. What are you finding about this golf course, what are you finding that -- do you like the greens or what?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: So far it's just, you know, like a Major golf course, like you just have to be patient a lot more like, you know, like fairway, greens and try to make your putt is the key on this golf course.

Q. You hit many fairways today?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Yeah. I hit some.

Q. How is the rough?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: It's okay. Just depend on how to play, the lie you got.

Q. The greens here are not -- you don't have many of these but they're little subtle moves, little side hiller you had here.
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Just some of the hole we got to hit the stroke well but a lot more like side hill, that kind of stuff.

Q. What do you think of 16 down there on water?
MORIYA JUTANUGARN: It's a good hole.

Q. What did you play it from today? They're going to play it like 255 one day either Saturday or Sunday.
