Q. Moriya, six years since you won as an individual. How special is this win to get your third?

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Of course every win is special, and like kind of been a long time since my last win. You know, like to be in contention for the last few days, it's kind of nice. And, you know, like I feel like I haven't been in contention for a little while.

It's like kind of keep you on the toe and exciting.

Q. You are in contention, you hit it in the bunker at 16 but you make a great putt. Take us through the nerves at that point.

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Well, off the tee I kind of hit like a really good, solid shot. Just like started not where I wanted to, and then end up like trying to get up and down.

Of course like, you know, like when you make that putt it kind of felt a lot better and like taking a lot of the pressure off.

Q. When you were talking, and we were talking about it, you knew you were bogey-free and wanted to make the putt on the last hole but it snuck away from you. Jin Young Ko was the last one to win on the LPGA bogey-free.

MORIYA JUTANUGARN: Well, I mean, I don't want to say I'm trying, but, you know, like when you are in the momentum of like going and everything is kind of being like your way like most of the time, it's nice.

I mean, you know, like bogey-free will be like great, but I think I'm in a pretty good position so far.

Q. Well, your last win was with your sister at the Dow three years ago. Mom and sister are here. How special is it to have them here and to celebrate with them?
