Q. Here with Patty Tavatanakit after her first round here at the LPGA Drive On Championship. Really good round for you today. What was the best part of your game?

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: I just kind of hung in there, stayed patient, and took it shot by shot. My scoring was pretty good.

Q. What was it about this golf course that did or did not suit your game today?

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: I think it's fairly wide off tee, so I got away with a couple drives. Overall I felt really comfortable in my game.

Q. What would you say was the best part of your game? Iron shots? Putting? Driving?

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: A little bit of driving and putting. I think there is just -- I just score a lot on the par-5s, which helped a lot. There are four of them.

I was able to get three birdies and one eagle, so I think that was my highlight. Everything just felt kind of average.

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: If you hit it good you can go low I feel like, but it's really firm out here, so you got to really look out for your bounces.

Q. Last question: What are you looking to do tomorrow to sort of the just keep up this momentum?

PATTY TAVATANAKIT: Yeah, just -- it's a nice feeling right now with where my game is at, so I'm just going to emphasize the goods, a lot of good shots today and just replaying that in my head.
