Sompracha Rattanasuwan reveals today's work. “Today's match was very good. And he makes a good serve today being able to get in and make a lot of birdie putts. And today I was very lucky, some holes were saved away and fell. It makes for a good match today. It's very difficult to serve here if you get to the woods, It will probably be difficult to get out. The field is very good tomorrow, follow the original plan, stay on your own game, and try to control yourself well.”
Thanarath Srisattaporn reveals today's work. “Today was a good match with a lot of serves and the shots were not good. But the putt is very good. The field is very difficult. The point of the flag is very difficult, but today's serve was very good, so it gave me a chance to get closer to the flag more easily, so I was able to make birdies.” Today I made a good save and then we play the same game.”
Phakorn Niamsaeng reveals today's work. “Today the score came in under 4 overall, and today he hit a lot of fairways. Makes it possible to choose which shot you want to play when approaching the green. He can hit from close range and get a lot of putts into the birdie area. Probably Tomorrow's match follows the same plan as before. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and don't over-defend.”
