Q. Ariya, you were 3-over par through three holes in round one. You stand here now at 11-under par. How have you been able to turn it around so well?

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I would say my first round is a bit hard because I kind of hit everywhere. After my first round I feel like it's no expectations, just shot by shot, and everything start to get better.

Q. You had 52 putts through two rounds. We saw you hole some really good putts out there again today. Won here in 2021. What do you love so much about the putting surfaces?

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I would say I been playing out here this course when I was like 11, so I think I know the green pretty good. Sometime I misread it, but I think I can feel much better than before.

Q. I spoken to Patty and Jaravee the last couple days about how much pride they feel playing at home. You're someone of these young Thai stars look up to. You've been world No. 1 and major champion. Is anything you can learn from these young Thai players?

ARIYA JUTANUGARN: I always learn from them because like the way they play golf, the way they practice, they really have so much like determination. Every time I saw them play and work hard, it's really inspiring me a lot.
