Quick Quotes

Q. Your second LIV Invitational Series event; how excited are you to play in Portland?

PHACHARA KHONGWATMAI: I feel very excited to be back again in the second event. I feel less excited a little bit but still excited to play LIV. Maybe this week many more top players coming, and I feel great to play with them. I feel excited.

Q. How is your game right now? You were playing so well, but just get the feeling that in the last three, four weeks it has not been the usual?

Q. How are you feeling about your game? Are you feeling confident? What was going wrong --

PHACHARA KHONGWATMAI: Right now feeling better. I learn week by week. Like last week --

Q. In Korea?

PHACHARA KHONGWATMAI: Yeah, what happened I missed, and then I'm going to more forgot in that and just more practice with -- if driver bad, hit more drivers, and then try to see if it's going to be better or not. But I think right now, should be okay.

Q. All parts of your game feel good?

PHACHARA KHONGWATMAI: Yeah, right now all parts. I think only like tee shots. If I hit it into the fairway I have a lot.

Q. That is your strength really, isn't it?

PHACHARA KHONGWATMAI: Yeah.

Q. Tee shot is a very big strength of yours?

PHACHARA KHONGWATMAI: Yeah, big key right now, because short game I am having -- not bad but not great, but so so. It can be okay.

Q. What did you think of the golf course?

PHACHARA KHONGWATMAI: This golf course, some holes long and some holes must make only par. Some difficult holes like par-3, front nine, like 210 yards. Green is like seven yards, 10-yard miss, then -- that hole, if you made par every day, I'd be happy. Like today I just practiced the whole back nine. But I think it's a pretty nice golf course. Have to game plan some holes and then really check each green.

Q. What is the main thing on this golf course? What do you really have to do well?

PHACHARA KHONGWATMAI: The main thing I think are the greens. The main thing with the course, this course is not very narrow. Some holes are narrow but you have to lay up, and then I think on the greens, because small greens and then many slopes who like short game good, I think very great for this golf course.
