Q. It's so nice to see Atthaya Thitikul hitting the ball and playing like we've been used to watching you the last couple years. How much is the health of your thumb and your hand, how much is that helping you with how you're playing and swinging the golf club right now?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: I mean, it's kind of like fully recovery right now. No pain, 100% now. And then, yeah, it's not really interrupt me hitting balls much.

Q. What was the big difference from yesterday, 2-under par to today, shooting 7-under?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: The weather. Definitely the weather. Because yesterday like in the early morning was so rainy and cold and then windy. It's tough condition to, you know, like make a real score.

But today we not have much wind as yesterday, so I think it's, you know, a lot more easier than yesterday, too.

Q. You played well here last year; this weekend you get to play with junior golfers. What's your mindset and how do you attack the golf course for the next 36 holes?

ATTHAYA THITIKUL: I mean, yeah, I mean, like last week kind of bring fire on me. You know, miss the cut by just one and then just like kind of bring fire on me a little bit, like angry about last week a little bit.

And then just trying to stick to my process and then just go hit some golf and enjoy with junior girl because we also have the juniors from AJGA coming for this week.

And then I think it's just such a really good experience for them to, you know, like learning from us, from the LPGA side.

So, yeah, that's it.
