KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA
Q. How would you assess your round out there?
TIM WILKINSON: Quite well. My attitude was good, because I started off nicely, was 1‑under after three and then I had double on 15 and a couple birdies after that, so my attitude was good all day. I've been here a few times before.
Some of the other guys were like struggling with the heat a little bit, but I played well. I drove it okay and hit a lot of nice short irons, so that made a big difference.
Q. Just talk us through that double. What happened out there?
TIM WILKINSON: Just pulled it just right of the fairway off the tee, and I was doing quite a bit of sideswiping. I don't know, I think I tried to get too much out of it. I just hit it on the ground about 20 feet and then hit my next one over the green, and then hit a decent chip. Just misjudged the lie a little bit and missed about a, I don't know, about eight‑footer for par‑‑ I mean for bogey.
Q. You mentioned the heat. It seems that the guys who started really early, seems their scores are holding up. Do you think the heat becomes a factor as it goes on this afternoon?
TIM WILKINSON: Probably. I like to think I'm in pretty good shape, so I didn't really feel it at all actually, to be honest out there. I was just drinking a lot of water and mixing up electrolyte drinks and water.
I've been here a lot, so I'm sort of used to‑‑ and I live in Jacksonville, which in the summer is very hot, so yeah.
Q. You're one of the few guys now I think has gone through and done all the first four events.
TIM WILKINSON: Yeah. It hasn't been bad. I mean I'm from New Zealand, so we fly a long way.
I don't do it so much anymore, but the travel doesn't really affect me. I got in a pretty good routine early.
Q. Not the result you wanted in the last then, I guess?
TIM WILKINSON: No. My attitude just wasn't very good. I was just struggling a little bit in my game, and that's not usually me on the course. Probably just trying a little too hard to get off to a good start to the season, and there's 42 events, so it's not the end of the world. I realized that driving home.
So it's a good opportunity this week. I'm still entered next week, but I don't think I'm going to play. I'll have to decide tomorrow.
