Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Atthaya Thitikul, not as slid as you looked for today but still ground it out today. That stretch of holes on the back nine, walk me through your mindset, and you bounced back pretty well?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: Yeah, it's been like a roller coaster back nine. I mean, I think it's not that, like, big mistake. I mean, like not a big deal because like just know that, yeah, you missed it.

It's normal for golf, and just keep trying more on the next hole, and just keep your mindset still and not thinking about the past because like just the pass, you can't do anything with the past. So you just try to keep doing better on the present.

Q. The birdie and eagle was a good stretch. Walk me through what happened on 15. We had quite a few eagles on 15.

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: The par 5, right? It's a reachable par 5, like a short par 5. I think they want us to be like competitive on the risk/reward, that's why. And I think the pin position today is not that hard. I mean, it's fun. It's easy to get it, like, close to the pin. So I'm hitting not that close but I just make the putt.

Q. One of your catch phrases is if it's your day, it's your day, and if it's not your day, it's not your day. When it's not your day and you're able to grind out a solid game, does that tell you more about your good days than the great days?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: Yeah, seems like today is not my day, you're right. This is my goal, as well. If it's not your day, how you're going to bounce back, how you're going to keep it like in contention as much as you can. So it's me, like your short game or like you're stuck but you can bounce it back. Then your mindset is still good, not thinking too much about the past. So I think it's a good sign for me to like keep it back from whatever it is up in there.

Q. And finally, just mindset heading into another weekend in contention. This is a place you've lived now.

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: Yeah, being on contention is pretty hard as well. Being consistency every week, your brain, it's going to be really hard to focus about so many things that you have to be focused. Yeah, that's my job, my career, so yeah.
