Quick Quotes

Q. Joined by Wichanee Meechai. Just another 66 out here at The ANNIKA. What's been working so well for you?

WICHANEE MEECHAI: I think I had a lot of patience and, you know, I didn't expect to come and play this tournament because I hate bermuda.

But maybe because I have no expectations so that's why I play pretty good and made a lot of putts.

So, yeah.

Q. A little tougher conditions today compared to yesterday. Wind picked up. Was there any other challenges you saw either in the course or conditions?

WICHANEE MEECHAI: Yeah. I think the wind, it affect a lot more than you think. You cannot miss on the short side. You're not going to make up and down.

So I'm trying not to play aggressive when the wind is so strong. So just play conservative a little bit and then make a lot of putts.

Q. Only two bogeys in your last two rounds. What's been some of the keys to success for you out there?

WICHANEE MEECHAI: I feel like I got a lot of luck with the bounce, stuff like that, and I don't miss to the low side at all. You know, like two bogeys I missed to the low side, so trying not to miss to the low side and play smart. I think that's the key.

Q. Last one: What's going to be the mindset heading into the weekend?

WICHANEE MEECHAI: So just trying to be patient. I think I'm going to get nervous tomorrow, but I'm trying to talk a lot, have a conversation with my caddie and make her pull me out of the game.

So that is my goal.

Q. How crucial is it -- or not crucial, but comforting is it to have a caddie you know you can rely on, hey, talk me out of that?

WICHANEE MEECHAI: Actually Brittany, this week is our first week together. She's not like my usual caddie. We just know each other Monday. We have a lot of things to talk about and we have the same kind of things, you know, same like things. We love dogs. We talk a lot of dogs, songs, Taylor Swift, things like that.

So you have a lot of conversation on the course and it kind of pull me out of the game and make me relax.
