Quick Quotes

Q. Starting the week off here at The Italian Open, how do you reflect on your opening round?

ADRI ARNAUS: I'm very pleased to be up there. Obviously happy how I played today. Today didn't start easy. I would say that a bit of a weird opening with the rain and the wind, completely switched from the practise rounds, so we had to adapt and we made really good decisions on the front nine that put us in a good position to actually get a few looks coming in.

Q. The topsy-turvy front nine, was that a case of getting the sense of conditions for the practise rounds?

ADRI ARNAUS: Yeah, for sure. When you are in the beginning of the week and you see the forecast, it's hard to believe because it's been very sunny and very hot at the end.

So yeah, we couldn't believe it was going to rain but it came out, so unexpected, but you have to go with it.

Q. Obviously this course is going to be quite famous in 12 months' time. What do you make of the layout here at Marco Simone?

ADRI ARNAUS: Even last year, I loved it already. You know, I always thought that it suits me. I feel comfortable around here. It's pretty cool to imagine how cool it's going to be in a year's time, every time we come back, we see some changes on the course. So it's getting better.
