Quick Quotes

Q. What a great second round here at Pure Silk; bogey-free. How do you feel after the first round?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: It was good. Starting to make more putts today and, you know, when the putts go in a little more just make me a little bit more like happier and not as stressed.

Q. Was there anything particularly that you were working on before this week? Maybe putting?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: I been working on my putting for a little bit, and, you know, just like pretty much just like commitment on the golf course, and just more than that, just having fun and play one shot at a time.

Q. At this point you're only one stroke behind the lead and two more days left; you're in contention. You almost didn't play this event. Do you mind telling us the story, what happened there.

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Okay, both of us, we planning to play this week anyway, but my assistant happened to just kind of making a little bit of the mistake like signing up for the tournament.

So other than I was supposed to be in the field, I'm actual alternate.

Q. How do you feel after you got in from the alternate list?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Well, I just like -- I came here anyway because like my sister already got in and because I feel I had a good chance to get in.

I mean, it's kind of feels like, you know, I can have another week off, but because I'm already here, so to play is good.

Q. And you also got your mom here and more family watching you. How do you feel with that support?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Well, this is the first tournament really for her for like a years and a half because she haven't travel with us for, yeah, years and a half.

And she is very enjoy, and it's nice to have her come back and travel together and we have the support.

Q. Have you ever won with your mom or family there other than Ariya?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Yeah, when I won, right? In L.A. she's there. Well, pretty much she's always with us every week.

Q. Last question is: What are you looking forward to doing the next two days?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Well, just feels like I just have to keep working on whatever I been doing and just kind of make it a little bit sharper.
