Quick Quotes
Q. So well played today. And this is your second tournament in Scotland and on links golf. Can you talk to me about the course and how you found your round today.
PRIMA THAMMARAKS: I played really, really well today, striked the ball really well. I think usually links course suits my game a little bit better too just because I usually play a little bit more club and have a low trajectory with the ball.
So I think it suits my game. And today I hit a lot of shots exactly the way that I wanted to. Just ball striking really well today.
I don't know. I thought when I came out to the course, it was really sunny and calm. Literally 20 minutes before we teed off it started blowing. And it's been blowing like the whole day.
So I was expecting a calm day, but it wasn't. So I think I played pretty well in this condition.
Q. And so coming into the week, what would you say is your goal for the tournament?
PRIMA THAMMARAKS: I don't really have like a set number goal, but, I mean, I just feel really lucky to be back here in Scotland and to play one of -- this newer course. But I know it's going to be a good one.
I'm just happy to be here. And, I mean, I want to say that I aim like to finish high, hopefully in the top five so I can play the British Open next week too.
But just having it day by day, really, and just really enjoying everything. And, yeah, just play good golf. I just want to come out here and play good golf. A lot of it out here is to have patience, which a lot of times I don't have. So that's always my goal when I come out here, is to just have that, which is great today.
Q. And so you're among three other Thai golfers that have been invited by Trust Golf?
PRIMA THAMMARAKS: Yes.
Q. How does it feel to be invited to one of the biggest tournaments outside the majors, and by a Thai company?
PRIMA THAMMARAKS: It's really great. I was really surprised when I heard that our sponsor, Trust Golf, is going to be the main sponsor for this event. But I'm really excited. I think it's a great opportunity. We don't get this kind of wind and these kind of course conditions in Thailand. So it's a great opportunity for the girls.
And even for me. Other than this, I don't really get a chance. Because actually this time, where the pandemic is just kind of hits everywhere, it's just really -- it's nice to be able to travel and to be back here and to change scenery a little bit. I think that helped my mentality a lot.
Q. That's great. Thank you.
