CIMB CLASSIC

October 30, 2015

Anirban Lahiri

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Q. Thoughts on your round today. 5-under.
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: Yeah, I got off to a good start, what I was looking for, really. And just on the back nine was terrible on the greens. I think I gave myself a lot of chances on 10, 11, 13, 14, just didn't make anything.

And got a little frustrated I think after the 14th miss. And we were standing on the tee for a long time, because a lot of groups got held up because it was drivable. And I just lost my concentration sitting around. Got a little stiff.

Made a bogey on 15. That's not what I needed.

So I was happy that I made birdie on 17.

And saved a good par on 18.

But I just gave easily gave two or three shots away on the back nine. Disappointed, given how I started, but I guess I just have to do a little better on the weekend.

Q. Talk us through that eagle.
ANIRBAN LAHIRI: I hit a good drive. Anything on that fairway is good. It was just an in between number between my four and 5-iron. So I just decided to kind of hit a low 5-iron and try and run it up that slope and I hit it absolutely perfect, obviously, nice to tap that in and be 4-under after 4. That's 4-under after 5, that's the kind of start you're looking for.

So I'm going to need to do that again tomorrow and continue it. I think it was the way the course is playing, with no rough, it all down to your putting. Guys are shooting 10-, 11-under, because you're holing those 10, 15 footers. And I think I did some of that on the front nine, but back nine was just absolutely dry.

So, just got to putt a little bit better. I'm feeling good, obviously, with my game, energy level is good, which I'm happy about. So hopefully I'll have another big weekend like I did at the Malaysian Open.
