Q. Congratulations, another excellent round today, 67. You were going along nicely, 1-under par through 13 holes, but found your rhythm the last five, didn't you?

JARAVEE BOONCHANT: Yeah, definitely. I think with the chip in on 14, that really helped the momentum going. The long putt on 15 that I made, like that really bump up my confidence a little bit, and of course the birdie on 16, that really helps going forward.

Q. We saw what you did earlier in the week conducting a junior clinic. There are 11 Thai players in the field here, including a couple of amateurs. We know there is an abundance its young Thai talent coming through the ranks. How much pride do you feel playing here this week?

JARAVEE BOONCHANT: I am just super honored to be able to play here this week, especially in front of all the Thai fans, my parents, and especially all the Thai kids coming out. I'm so happy. I did two session on Monday and I'm so happy to see all of them, 20 or 30 kids coming out in the afternoon. It was really hot but they were really attentive and really eager to know more like driving technique and short game.

I'm just so happy to see how much the game of golf has grown in Thailand, and just being here, being able to show hem and play in front of them is such an honor.

Q. You won the Epson Tour Championship in 2022. Rookie on the LPGA Tour last year. Finished 94th on the race to CME. What do you feel you need to improve in your second season out here?

JARAVEE BOONCHANT: I think I just think I need to plan my schedule better than last year. Last year was kind of like trials and errors. I basically play almost every tournament I could. I found out that I get tired like after tournament. This year I'm trying to schedule better and give myself some break and be more committed to the schedule.
