Q. Jeeno, great round today. A round of 64. Started with five birdies in the first six holes. Clearly you didn't celebrate your birthday too hard last night.
JEENO THITIKUL: Yeah, I'm totally just go back to the hotel and sleep right away and didn't go like anywhere at all, because I need more sleep, I need rest.
But, yeah, just putter worked really well today.
Q. You're clearly not the average 22 year old. The finish as well was important, those birdies on 17 and 18.
JEENO THITIKUL: Uh-huh. Yeah, just I think just want to keep the momentum going and the positive ending seem like yesterday going.
Q. You mentioned your putting has been great. Since you come back from injury you've been the best putter on the LPGA Tour. What do you put that down to?
JEENO THITIKUL: Did I? Did I really? I just still feel like I'm not the best, to be honest. It's always room to improve. It doesn't work really well this week in week out for sure, what we have to doing is just improving it.
Q. And you finished last season so well. How proud are you with the way it's continued this way so far?
JEENO THITIKUL: Well, it's just really surprise how I can play really well last week. To be honest I'm not expecting to get a win in my first week back like from offseason, but like to get it last week and just give me more confidence coming here.
Q. And you're challenging for the title in your home country in front of these amazing fans. How excited are you for the weekend?
JEENO THITIKUL: Super excited. I think I'm super excited like since I was here. I'm excited to be here and excited to play in front of them. Just want to make sure they happy about all the things and watching us.
