Q. You had a bogey-free front nine; started off with a birdie, started off on the right foot, and then eagled No. 7. Take us through the eagle on 7 and how you played the hole.

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: I mean, I guess I hit a pretty good drive and just hybrid on the greens and make putt.

Q. Yeah. What did you hit or how far out were you on your second shot?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: It was like 2 -- I think it's 218 or something like that, yeah.

Q. Okay. Good number. And then you had four additional birdies on the back nine. Just closing the way you did with four birdies on the back nine, closing strong, how good of momentum does that provide for tomorrow?
