Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Jaravee Boonchant. Weren't really happy with it today, but still ground it out. Just walk me through your round out there.

JARAVEE BOONCHANT: Yeah, the front nine was kind of rough. Like I didn't hit that many fairways and I put myself in a position that is hard to hit the green, but I was be able to -- I was fighting hard and I was trying to calm myself down and trying to play in whatever condition I was in.

I'm pretty happy with how I finished today.

Q. What do you do to stay patient when things really aren't going your way?

JARAVEE BOONCHANT: Talk to my caddie. We talk a lot, but mostly not like golf related. Trying to get my mind off the shots and trying to be relaxed as much as possible.

Q. What do you all talk about, if you don't mine me asking.

JARAVEE BOONCHANT: Just like food, the weather, what should we do tonight, where should we go eat. That kind of thing, yeah.

Q. Just kind of being able to flip that switch on the back nine, what changed in your head and I guess what did you change to really help you play better?

JARAVEE BOONCHANT: I guess I was just like on the front nine I hook a lot of shots, so I just aim more right and trying to not hit it as hard and just trying to just swing it.

I mean, at that point I don't really have time to adjust anything so I just go and play with -- go with the flow and just play.

Q. I feel like a lot of players head to the range after their round to try to fix those things. Will you just try to fix it tomorrow morning?

JARAVEE BOONCHANT: Yeah. I'm very tired today, but I think a good rest would help me. So, yeah.

Q. Just mindset heading into obviously first event as a member, but heading into the weekend? What's on your mind? You know got a fellow Thai player, Sim, at the top now. You're a couple shots back. But what are you thinking?

JARAVEE BOONCHANT: Yeah, just going to try stick with the plan and just try to hit more fairways, more green, and put myself in a position where I can make birdies.

Yeah, just play as usual.
