DUBAI DESERT CLASSICJanuary 31, 2008Benn BarhamDUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES BENN BARHAM: Yeah, I enjoyed it actually. The weather was perfect. The course was absolutely immaculate. And I played nicely. Hit the ball well and putted nicely. Q. Good score to start the tournament? BENN BARHAM: Yeah, you want to get off to a good start and I've certainly done that today. Just try to keep it going. I think the par 5s for me were not in range and I have to go and make birdies with my wedges. No, I'm not going to complain with 4-under. I think 4-under is 4-under and we'll see how it lies at the end of the day but there's a long way to go. It was a good group and we all played quite nicely and that sometimes helps. You're unconsciously spurring each other on. Q. How difficult has it been? BENN BARHAM: I've got lots of good stuff and it's been a little bit frustrating really. But you know, we had a chat, me and my caddie last week and he sat me down, gave me a bit of a talking to and just said to be patient. And I came here this week looking forward to playing and watching a couple of different things. Yeah, it was good fun. I think that's the key, I need to try to enjoy it. I'm fortunate to be in this position and I need to try to enjoy it. Q. Sounds like you grudgingly accept that you needed that talking-to. BENN BARHAM: Yeah, I did. (Chuckling) Rob is obviously pretty close to the action being my caddie, so he sees everything from a different perspective. Yeah, he said a few things last week and I took them on board and hopefully I'll take them on board for a few more weeks. Q. Getting into bad habits? BENN BARHAM: Yeah, the occasional bad habits on the course. Off the course I'm pretty chilled out and seems to change a little bit on the course so that's my mission, that's my goal. Q. Nice-looking leaderboard. BENN BARHAM: I said to Rob on the 7th green, I said, "That's a bit more like it." Yeah, it's always nice when you're playing big events and the big players are here, and it gives you a bit of a buzz for sure. But you know, I kind of -- not to get too carried away, I'm sure I'll have a few messages today on my phone. But there's a long way to go. End of FastScripts |
