Jumeirah Golf Estates, Earth Course

Quick Quotes

Q. 70 to open your account here at the Earth Course. Was it as easy as your scorecard would give the impression?

JULIEN GUERRIER: I just try to be really disciplined because I don't really know this course. My caddie has more experience on this course than me, so I just listen to him. I try to play in the zone and I did it correctly.

Q. How do you find the course? We hear a lot of descriptions about it being a ball-striker's course but obviously that's not always the case.

JULIEN GUERRIER: It's a really tough course. It's very demanding from the tee because if you are in the rough, it's really difficult to hit the greens, and it's not too firm, the greens, actually. So it's more friendly.

But it's very difficult for the green on the fairway. I was struggling during my practise round to find a way to shape around the green, and then even the wedge shots, it's not easy, so I tried to manage that.

Q. And that form has continued from the Nedbank where you found a lovely top 20 result there.

JULIEN GUERRIER: Yeah, try to continue as much as I can, and the better I can.

Q. I imagine this could be the cherry on the cake, coming out this week at the end of the season with a really good result.

JULIEN GUERRIER: Yeah, it's a bonus week. Of course we try to play the best game we can and we'll see at the end, it's just a gift.
