Thitikul says she is being powered by Japanese food.

“I just talked with my caddie," she said. "We're not going to eat the same thing every day, so we're going to change every dinner. I think the first two days we had sushi, and then yesterday ramen, and today ramen, so I have to find something for tomorrow and the next day. (AP)
