Quick Quotes

Q. Five birdies and an eagle and a round of 67. What pleased you most about your play?

JOAQUÍN NIEMANN: Yeah, I think I felt like everything is pretty good right now. I made a few putts that I didn't make yesterday, and a few -- I hit a few more fairways that I didn't hit yesterday because like No. 8 or No. 9, the rough on the left is brutal.

Being able to be on the fairway on those it kind of gave me a little boost of confidence.

Q. When you saw this course at start of the week, it was your first visit to this championship. Did you think this course suits your style of play?

JOAQUÍN NIEMANN: Yeah, I like these courses where you have to hit it long and straight. I feel like it suits really well for me.

Yeah, it's been great. The second shots I have some struggles a few times where I haven't had the right number on the second shots with my irons. I feel like it might be a little struggle of catching it quite good because sometimes it sits down a little bit, which I think is gets a little tricky, which is good.

Yeah, got to work on something to figure that out.

Q. Into Abu Dhabi after a big break, do you feel your game is up to speed now?

JOAQUÍN NIEMANN: Yeah, it was a little rusty, four or five weeks off. But I feel like there's a lot of stuff that I'm working on my swing and on my game, and everything that I'm trying to improve for what's coming on any next season on LIV.

Yeah, I actually like being out here at DP World Tour and try to put that in practise and commit to that. Yeah, it's been great.
