ABU DHABI HSBC CHAMPIONSHIP

January 20, 2018

Chris Paisley

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

CHRIS PAISLEY: Great fun, nice group to play in, great weather, great golf course and I played really well. Doesn't get any better than that. Just try and ride the wave. Obviously the confidence has shot up since last week, and it's been a strange week. I kind of felt not quite mentally as sharp as last week, maybe a bit tired and frazzled from everything that's happened but my game is there. Just tomorrow try and give it a go.

Q. Getting into contention for the final round --
CHRIS PAISLEY: Yeah, I was making lots of birdies. Made eight birdies today. So just keep doing what I'm doing.

Q. Have you had had a chance to reflect on last week at all?
CHRIS PAISLEY: I haven't been able to celebrate, really. The first time I really got a chance to think about it was Friday -- Thursday morning. I was off in the afternoon and had a few hours on my own in the hotel room, and just reading through messages and e-mails and almost got a bit emotional because it kind of hit me, what I had done.

Prior to that, I had been so busy, and also trying to prepare for this week and had a lot going on, almost had not thought about it. I won last week, and it's a whole new week again, so it's not as if you can enjoy it too much. I'll play next week and then I've got a week on, so then I'll go see my family and celebrate then.

Q. Nice way to finish on 18.
CHRIS PAISLEY: Yeah, I didn't hit a very good drive so I had to lay up going in, perfect yardage. My wedges have been really good this week, so I felt really good about hitting it pretty close, and then to have a foot tap-in was really nice.
