Atthaya Thitikul

Mixed Zone

Q. Tell me the difference between now that you've missed about three cuts in a row, did you, and then you come here and play really well?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: No, I just missed one.

Q. You missed one.

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: Last week. Just one.

Q. And you were quite upset by that one, weren't you? Did you just miss it, or how did it work?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: Yeah, no, that's kind of a little bit of disappoint. But totally I guess I hit it really good, I had a really good game last week, but just didn't make the putt, and that's it. Not really upset, not really like angry or something like that.

Q. And what have you done to up your putting? How have you improved your putting?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: Well, I would say when you putt it here, like in Scotland, with the wind, it's kind of like hard to roll in the ball, see the line. We putt against the wind sometime.

And then I think it's just like experience as well, and then just keep patient because you putt with the wind, it's kind of really hard to get it in.

Q. Now you're used to the wind and putting against the wind?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: I would say not really yet. Not really. Gets -- yeah, gets used to.

Q. After two days, now how much do you love the links?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: I do love it more today. I do love it more today, guys, I promise. But, I mean, like, yeah, like I said, links, be coming every year, so I should get used to it.

Q. What parts do you enjoy about playing here?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: What part? I would say play with the wind, and the course. Like I said, link course is -- I mean, when you play with the links, so, I mean, you have to be really patient and then trust what you see, trust what you have to aim, because you have to aim -- sometime you have to aim way left, way right.

Q. Tell us a little bit about your round today.

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: Had a really good round today. I mean, like trying to not getting bogey. I thought I got to get like bogey-free today, but just 18, it's just a hole that's it's really hard to keep it on the fairway. You should be really straight, if you can get it to the fairway, because all the bunkers, two bunker on the left and then one bunker on the right.

But overall today is good.

Q. After Evian, now you're here, you're in a good position. Do you feel you are in the mix that you can go for it?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: Hope so. I mean, like trying to catch the leaderboard. I mean, trying to beat the course and beat myself as well. That's it for the links.
