All right welcome Adrien from cleats GC an incredible round of 62800 par to start lift golf jeda tell us about your round today yeah it was very solid uh to be honest uh I didn’t get off to a good start like a hot start but then towards the middle of the round and

Towards the end uh I played quite nicely h a lot of good PS and yeah it was just overall a very solid day and you spoke about in the first couple of weeks being a bit of a whirlwind for you is this a sign that you’re feeling quite settled

This week yeah definitely I’m feeling way better this week than my first two weeks I had some quality practice time uh last week in Dubai so um yeah I’m happy where my game is and it’s definitely big difference from even Vegas I’ll hand over to Mike no

Ben hi Ben go love UK hi Adrian uh first question new to live this season ninth in Las Vegas the putting stats weren’t maybe your friend was the good putting this week today the big difference for you uh to be honest yeah I hit a lot of

Uh good parts Hal a lot of good ones uh but overall i’ I’ve been working on my Pace a lot and in Vegas was great and today as well I think the pace was the key again uh but uh the Striking quality way was way way better today than than

In Vegas so I’m I’m pleased about that cuz I spent a lot of time last weeks to work on it and I I can see Improvement already a lovely lovely Eagle on 10 uh chip in is really nice to see that but you you scored in a

Little Bunch there 9 10 11 how do you feel this course suits your game just to play those three for under is is really impressive yeah I think I just like the lay layout of of this course uh really enjoyy enjoying playing here um I have

Been I have played here before um so you know I’m trying to just uh be friendly with the wind it’s always quite windy here um but yeah just like the setup it suits my eye and I think suits my game as well so yeah I’m I’m enjoying

Playing here thank you very much thank you Adan uh oh am I here Adrian well played great 62 is that your best professional round or have you done better to be honest we we might have to check it but I think it might be the

Best one yeah I think it might be the best I think it was 63 before okay and today seven birdes and an eagle and one bogey what were the strengths of your round uh in your opinion because it’s a great to get seven birders in an eagle round anywhere is remarkable definitely

Putting again you know I held a lot of good putts but gave myself a lot of good chances could have been lower um but um just overall the whole game was quite quite solid I didn’t make too many mistakes uh was quite solid of the the

Tea um yeah just really really solid day um really enjoyed it today yeah keep up okay In Thank you we’ll do a couple of questions in Arabic and you see more Translate hey Adan Adrian this is bil from okas he congratulates you on today’s performance and um you mentioned that uh you’ve been here to Royal greens before and but today you did really well uh in terms of

The result um was playing here in a different time of the year like apart from what you said like doing the right things and everything went good for for you today was it an a deciding factor as well like playing in a different time of the year with different weather circumstances to

Be honest when I was here four years ago we played around the same time cuz I played on the European tour back then and funny story I came back three years ago as well and got posit got tested positive for covid so I spent 18 days

Here in uh in the in the town uh in quarantine so I couldn’t leave the country so that was my last memory from Saudi uh so yeah we played in the same kind of weather and wind even I said to my KY that the wind never really changes

Here he always plays quite similar so that also makes it you know easier as as the week go goes on CU you just uh know know your lines and you just have to commit to it thank you uh this is na from alad newspaper um obviously today’s result is amazing but

What would you do in order for you to make sure that you’ll be also having the same result at the end of uh this event to be honest I I want to change anything uh you know it’s I’m going to play the same golf same strategy nothing changes

I just hope the wind will be from the same direction so uh yeah nothing will change I’ll just do my same routine as I do every single week and I hope it will be enough at the end of the tournament thank you Adrian thanks Adrian best of

Luck rest the week thanks guys cheers all the best
