Quick Quotes

Q. All right, I'm here with Jasmine after her second round at The ANNIKA. One shot better today than yesterday. How would you compare the last two rounds you've had?

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: I think today definitely play tougher because of the wind. A lot of pin was on the back, back left, back right, so a lot of the long club on my front nine, which maybe three or four at least hybrids on the second shot.

But I hit all of them pretty decent and had a lot of birdie chance today, yeah.

Q. Making the turn at 3-under, anything going through your head as you were heading into the back nine?

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: Not really. Just keep the momentum going. You know, it's windy so it's not that easy. I mean, I make probably two, three bogeys today. You know, I just make a lot of birdies today so it's kind of good thing.

Q. Yeah. Speaking of momentum, you made a birdie here on the last hole. Had several fans clapping for you. What does that do heading into tomorrow for you?

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: I think it's pretty big to birdie on 18, because yesterday I literally three-putt and made bogey.

To come back with birdie today is a bonus for me. You know, I'm looking forward to the next two round. I have fun. I have my neighbors here, my aunt here, my caddie's family is here, so going to be a fun week.

Q. Going into Asia, very much on the outside looking in for CME next week. You have really played your way into the season-ending event. What has clicked in the past few weeks or is it more back against the wall knew what you had to do?

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: I think my game has been getting better every week since June. I don't know. I make tons of cuts and it gets more consistently. You know, get more comfortable with my game and I see the positive in my game, and it's just keep playing and have fun with my caddie out there.

So I'm proud that coming all the way up here this year. I feel like is very hard to climb up on the CME ranking for sure. A lot of player play really well this year.

Q. How much fun is it to play this good of golf in so many different kind of weeks? You are going on your third week of playing some really solid golf.

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: Definitely fun to see myself make birdies out there. Just enjoying every second of it. Play my best.

Q. To that, what is it like going if course to course adjusting when you first get there for the week? Anything you're looking at?

JASMINE SUWANNAPURA: Let's just say that in Asia we didn't really play there. I never really play in Malaysia and get to play six holes. In Japan I play only nine holes and then the pro-am.

So I didn't really like stressful about the course setup much. All I just do is try to hit fairway and green and see how I roll that day. This week, I play here every year, so I kind of know the course and I know a couple members here so I did have a chance to come here and play golf with them.

So...
