Quick Quotes

ARIYA JUTANUGARN:

Q. All right, here with Ariya Jutanugarn. Solid way to start your week. Walk me through your round.

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: You know, I thought soon as I saw the course on Monday I felt like it's going to be hard to play because the condition is like, you know, it's not good at all.

But today I show up and it's so amazing, like how they done amazing. Like the maintenance team just do a great job, and the rule official.

So today so much fun because like the green is start to be like dry so it's not like easy at all.

Q. Did you get to see the golf course at all or see very much of it with all the rain?

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: Yeah, I did. I play late Monday and also I play pro-am yesterday, so I saw the course. Even not remember, but I saw the course.

Q. Did that give you an advantage today? You knew what to expect; a lot of players didn't really know what to expect.

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: You know, I feel like it's pretty straightforward. You can see bunker, green. I think the challenge on this course on the green.

Q. As you head into tomorrow, is there anything you'll take with you that you did particularly well today? Obviously had to putt pretty well; low number.

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: Yeah, my putting getting much better from last week because I'm struggle a bit like last few tournament.

So it's getting much better. I've been working on my commitment and it's getting much better, so I just going to keep working on that stuff.
