Quick Quotes

Q. A round of 65, 6-under par. How would you sum up today?

STEVE LEWTON: I played really solid. Still not quite driving it how I want, but my putting has been really good so far. Just hit a few iron shots a bit closer today and managed to convert. So I'm really happy with how I played.

Q. What do you think of the course today at Riyadh golf club?

STEVE LEWTON: It's changed a lot. We've played here a couple of times in the past. They put some new tees in and lengthened quite a few holes. It's a different challenge now, but it's in good condition and I think the guys will be loving it.

Q. What are your goals this week, finish as strongly as possible? There's 1,000 points up for grabs this week. It's a massive week for everyone. What is the goal?

STEVE LEWTON: The goal is to play as well as possible. Just try and play well every single day. This year's kind of been a bit hit and miss. Played well some weeks, not others. Just trying to put four good rounds together.

Q. Currently you're 82nd in the International Series rankings. I saw the projected rankings if you did finish in second place, third place, it would take you up to something like eighth place. Is that something you're looking for in terms of next week as well?

STEVE LEWTON: Not really. Just really want to concentrate on playing well for four days and have another crack at it next week. It would be good to get four good rounds under my belt in preparation for that.

Q. How has your season been. You said it's been a bit up and down. You won in Indonesia obviously as well. How would you sum that up?

STEVE LEWTON: I've been consistently inconsistent. Yeah, I played really well some weeks and then just not played very well. That's been kind of frustrating. It's been nice to have two good rounds back to back with the putter.
