ABU DHABI HSBC CHAMPIONSHIPJanuary 21, 2017Bernd WiesbergerAbu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Q. One off the lead, your thoughts? BERND WIESBERGER: Yeah, it looks pretty packed up there. I suppose the leader, Martin, is probably going to get some more birdies over the last few holes. But it was again, like the first two rounds, not great. I hit a lot of average wedge shots where I felt I could have had more chances. It was a completely different wind out there, different direction, which is unusual for here. That's always a little bit of adaptation, but I stayed in it all through the round. And I got a couple of chances towards the end of the front nine and took them, so that was good. Just trying to get a bit more of a flow going out there. Q. What's the problem with the wedges? BERND WIESBERGER: It's tough clubbing. Especially 10, 11, and then I hit a bad one on 15, as well. Tough to get the wind right, exactly right. It did switch about 90 degrees on our back nine. We were straight down on 9 and then we had in off the left on 18, which is almost a 90-degree shift and you have to adapt to that. I just didn't hit the wedge shots there, so I need to change that for tomorrow. Q. You had a nice run starting at the sixth. Talk about that. BERND WIESBERGER: I played kind of sloppy up till then. Missed a couple greens. Missed a couple shots. Leaked my drive a little bit. And then holed maybe a 25-footer for birdie and that kind of gave me a bit of momentum. Hit good shots on 8 and 9 to set up some easy birdies, so that was nice. I lost a little bit on the back nine. Felt like the whole back nine played into the wind, a bit tricky. Wasn't quite as high quality golf on the back nine. But always nice to finish off with a birdie in the round. Q. Contending again in the Middle East. What is it about out here? BERND WIESBERGER: Just feel pretty comfortable. As I said yesterday, I wasn't quite sure where this week was going to go in terms of my performance out here, but so far I feel good. I'm keeping the bogeys off the card. Just have two for the week and then today. So just trying to up the birdies tomorrow. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
