Quick Quotes

Q Justin, 8-under for two days work here in Dubai, how would you assess how things have gone so far?

JUSTIN HARDING: Yeah, pretty good. It was a weird day today. I really hit it quite good and gave myself a bunch of chances. Couldn't seem to make a putt. The speed and I suppose they are a little tricky in the afternoon, they get a bit crusty, but yeah, couldn't seem to catch an edge.

But I'm happy with the way played. I was pretty good from tee-to-green. I had good control distance-wise and yeah, kind of keep giving yourself chance after chance.

Q Probably left a few out there on 17 and the third seemed to be really good chances.

JUSTIN HARDING: Yeah, they were tiny. They probably shouldn't have been missed. Neither was the one on 4 to be fair. I played good. It was obviously frustrating, but at the same time I was quite pleased with continually plodding along and giving myself a chance on the next hole.

Yeah, go and see if we can iron out the kinks and focus on the weekend.

Q You're in a really good position now heading into this weekend. What's the mindset now going into a crucial moving day tomorrow?

JUSTIN HARDING: Yeah, kind of hang in there. The course can be a bit challenging, especially in the afternoon. Greens get firm.

So I'll have to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully roll in a few more putts and keep the bogs off the card and see what that brings tomorrow Sunday.
