ABU DHABI HSBC CHAMPIONSHIPJanuary 18, 2018Mikko IlonenAbu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Q. You must be pleased with today's round of 68? MIKKO ILONEN: I would have taken it this morning, definitely. Bogey-free, I can't even remember when I was bogey-free. Not too many birdies. I obviously left a few shots on the par 5s. But it was better than I've been playing recent weeks. Q. You talked about leaving a few shots but what pleased you most about today's round? MIKKO ILONEN: My drives on No. 3 and No. 10. They were weird ones. But you've got to take the positives out of the round and they were the biggest moments for me. Q. It's a course you've played many times before how has it changed and how is it playing out there today? MIKKO ILONEN: It has a lot of grass on it. I feel like the greens, if anything, they are slightly slower than my memory tells me. So it's in perfect condition. There's not a lot of run in the fairways because there's a lot of grass in the fairways, as well. But we're hoping to see if it firms up a little bit. I think the conditions this afternoon -- it's going to be low scores out there. Q. After last season, is it fair to say it would be nice to get off to a good start this year? MIKKO ILONEN: It's more than fair to say, yeah. I mean, it was a struggle. I think it was a good kick in the butt, as well. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
