Quick Quotes

Q. Here with past champ of the Marathon Classic. Being able to finish at 7-under overall, take me through how comfortable you were feeling today.

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: The last two days starting the front nine kind of slow, you know, even par, 1-under par. So it's feel great to finish the back nine on both days with under par, 3- and 4-under pars.

You know, just starting slow, but it's coming along good.

Q. I saw that putt on 18 there. Solid way to close out the round. Take us through that hole.

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: Well, I hit a bad drive, a little bad drive to the right in the rough, so it makes me have to lay it up before the water.

And then the third shot I have about 140, which is not easy at all from that pin and then kind of like slope down. Luckily I hit it on the green and have about 20-foot putt for birdie.

My caddie, Justin, say that, You know, you been making a lot of the long birdie putts, so you going to make this one again. I said, We'll see. You know, so I just rolled that in. It's feel great.

Q. How does it feel for you coming back to Highland Meadows and playing on a golf course that you know very, very well?

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: It feel great, especially you allow people, all the fans to come back and watching us. I mean, I saw a lot of my friend. I saw a lot of volunteer who keep volunteering for this week come by and say, Hi, Jasmine, how is it going?

It's great to see people that you know, you see couple years ago come back and help us this week. Yeah, supporting this week for sure.

Q. Do you feel more confident coming back to a course where you've won before.

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: Yes, of course. I mean, I know the course, but like I say, golf, it's just golf. Like you might win here before. Doesn't mean you're going to play good golf every day.

So just go with the flow, patient, and, I mean, you know the course, but doesn't mean it's going to kick to your way or do they pay the member dues.

You know, just have fun out here knowing I been playing here well and win here before.

Q. What will you take into the weekend? You've really shot yourself into contention with your consistent play this week.

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: Just tell myself, you know, to be patient and give myself a lot of birdie chance as much as I can.

And then, you know, just play some fun. Have some fun playing golf.
