Danthai said, "I forgot my Buddhist pendant necklace this morning. It's like my lucky charm so I went back to the hotel to take it just 20 minutes before my tee time this morning. Thankfully the hotel is just next to the course."
He added, "I've been singing this Thai song in my head and I want to continue that tomorrow. It helps calm me down."
