Quick Quotes

Q. Here with Natthakritta Vongtaveelap. Great day again. Four birdies out there, two bogeys. You said it was windier this morning than what it was yesterday. How did you find the conditions out there?

NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: So today my round was not really good, but okay. So I would say my driver and second shot, I mean approach shot today is great.

Except some holes. But total result is good. My putter today not really good, but okay. Yeah.

Q. So being able to pull out a 2-under round when your game is not as good as it should be, how much confidence does that give you where your game is at right now?

NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Yeah, I felt confident because today -- okay, I would say I didn't practice before I'm going on round today, my putt, so it's bad.

But I would blame myself.

Q. Any of those birdies stand out? You made four today. Any of them in particular better than the others? Like so those four birdies, any one of them your favorite birdie?

NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Oh, got it. No. (Laughter.)

So all of them. I love all of them. I love birdies.

Q. Going to be in the mix heading into the weekend. You got a taste of that in Thailand. Did you learn anything from that experience in Thailand that you'll apply to this weekend?

NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Yes, a lot. Except windy. Wind I learn from here a lot. Yeah, so from Thailand, maybe learn pressure, how to play in pressure better than a major.

Q. Did you feel a little calmer in this situation now that you had that in Thailand?

NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Yes, pretty much.

Q. What was the most challenging part of your experience in Thailand? I know that was a very new situation for you.

NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Yeah, because it's my home course and in Thailand, you know.

Q. Yeah.

NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: Fan, Thai fans a lot. That's why. I feel excite. Very excite.

Q. Heading into the weekend, obviously you learned a lot in Thailand, but what are you thinking over the next couple days with, again, similar windy conditions?

NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: You mean in here, right?

Q. Uh-huh.

NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: For two more round I will play the same as first two day.

Q. What will you do the same?

NATTHAKRITTA VONGTAVEELAP: I mean, I will play -- I don't know how to say it. Sorry. But I know how to play with it, with the wind.
