Quick Quotes

Q. Can you summarise how you played today?

PRIMA THAMMARAKS: Yeah, I played well. I mean, I go out there and wanting to be in the present, it's kind of hard when the course is gettable like this and I play with alley who shot 9-under today, so I feel like everybody was birdieing everything. So I had to focus on my game and I think I did that really well.

Q. And you are projected to be the fifth spot to qualify for AIG next week, how does that make you feel?

PRIMA THAMMARAKS: That's amazing. I would be lying if I said I wasn't thinking about that but like I said, it's kind of like tough out there mentally, going in, you know where you're sitting and the course is gettable. You feel like everybody is going to shoot low rounds but all you can do is focus on yourself and play one shot at a time.

And to be able to play my second British Open would be amazing. I played my first one here and that's still one of my favourite things to do. Coming here, I didn't really think that I was going to stay and play another one. But what a way to spend my could have-week.

Q. Are you confident if you were to make it in next week, do you feel this week has been great to practise on links?

PRIMA THAMMARAKS: Oh, yeah, of course. I feel like every golf course bring out a different aspect of golf and if you are really focusing on the right thing and you're really trying to learn, then you would really learn new things and pick up new skills, and you know, become a better golfer. I think that we did just that. When I couldn't do what I set out to do, it just kind of teach me where my mistakes is and where my mistakes are so I could just work on that.

Yeah, I think of course it prepares me for next week, like yeah, like even though I didn't play that well, or that great or the way that I wanted to the last two days are still mistakes here and there but I feel like I've learned a lot and next week I've heard the course is going to be quite difficult. So like I said, it's going to be a good learning experience and I'm looking forward to enjoying it.

Q. You've been very consistent over the last few days, and I think is it a hard mindset to keep your head in the game and today did you look at the leaderboard at all?

PRIMA THAMMARAKS: I did but it was for alley, not for me. I was hoping that she would get up there and that obviously my two other Thai girls are up there, so I'm always checking it out.

Like I said, I was just more focused on my game, and mentally was tough today. I think today was the toughest just coming out, I really want to make it when I didn't really have it in my mind coming in. But I think one of my things today was just to really stay in the present and just to take it one shot at a time and be really mindful of that and I did just that. I think that even though I didn't score that great, I fought hard today. I think that staying in the present really, really pulled me through.

Q. Lastly, you were the only Thai Trust Golf invite to make the cut. How does it feel and do you feel like this week has just been a great opportunity, and you know, what are you going to take learning from this week?

PRIMA THAMMARAKS: I think Trust Golf have done a really good job with this tournament and just bringing over the Thai girls. Being able to spend time with one of them quite a bit, because we were staying in kind of like the same buddy system and talk to her and kind of mentor her a little bit, just it's almost like a good review for me of where my head should be or where I should be. I think it goes both ways.

I think the girls really learn a lot from it and we learn a lot from them, and that makes us better. I think that's really awesome. It's really special. Like this week, I've heard so much from all the Thai fans at home and my family and everybody. So I feel like having so many Thai talented golfers out here really just showcase how good we are.
