Emily a lovely round of 66 and it’s wonders what a good night sleep can do because I know you’ve been battling with jet lag this week uh yeah I finally had a full night sleep of 9 hours last night the night before yesterday’s round I
Only slept for 3 hours so that was a bit of a struggle but I think I’m finally getting into the routine now well this is a place and this is certainly a tournament that you’re very familiar with having won this event but what was the difference today to shoot a 66 still
Swirling conditions it’s still quite difficult you must be very pleased what was uh what was the real difference uh the real difference I think was my putting uh I hold a couple like 30 Footers today and then just was really solid uh from a short distance I
Struggled a little bit yesterday um so yeah really that was the difference and the wind it’s not really a problem for you you’ve always been a great ball Striker what is it about Saudi Arabia that when you come here you perform well I don’t know I mean I think um they
Always set up the tournament really good I I always like I like major tournaments are like The Bigs and it has a a feel of a a big tournament um it’s just I don’t know I just like the desert apparently well it certainly likes you as well
Because it’s great to have you here 18 holes to go are you a kind of player that is aware of what’s Happening do you look at the leaderboards or do you tend to talk a lot with your caddy Mikey Patterson who’s very experienced as well how will you plot your way around the
Final round uh yeah I mean I talked to Mikey the most I mean we kind of try and have a rule that he looks at the leaderboard and tell me if there something needs to happen uh otherwise I tried to just focus on the game I mean
Today was a little bit I looked a little bit but obviously the leaders are quite far behind so it’s hard to really tell where you at I know they still have probably I don’t know four or five hostes to play maybe so a lot can happen
In in that time um so yeah just trying to focus let him worry any phone calls with Thomas bejor this evening uh maybe we’ll see probably I don’t know well we wish you all the very best play today thank you
