THE MODERATOR: Had you had a very good round. You had the ace, then a whole lot of pars. A lot of pars and then a birdie at No. 16. What was the strong part of your game today? Why did you play so well?

THE MODERATOR: I know the course was very wet from the rain. A lot of people saying it was playing very long. Did you feel like that today?

PORNANONG PHATLUM: Of course, yes. (Laughing). Yeah.

THE MODERATOR: Very challenging? How did it work for you today?

PORNANONG PHATLUM: I think I just focus on every shot that I have to hit. Sometime just in center on the green. Not too aggressive. Just playing my game. Today putting is very good, and chipping is also good. Like, bogey-free for today, yeah.

THE MODERATOR: Good round. Congratulations.

PORNANONG PHATLUM: Thank you.
