FANLING, HONG KONG
Q. Tell us about the hole‑in‑one.
GARETH MAYBIN: Yeah, I had 199, it was playing a hair downwind and it was a perfect number for my 5‑iron. Only about ten yards short, rolled up and went in.
Q. Saw it all the way?
GARETH MAYBIN: Saw it all the way. Went a bit crazy on the tee but why not.
Q. And with playing partners, because I doubt there were that many people around at that time of day?
GARETH MAYBIN: Yeah, just us playing, it was fun. There were a few people watching, ten or 12, not very many.
Q. And you get yourself a nice little bonus for the hole‑in‑one.
GARETH MAYBIN: Looking forward to seeing it. I believe it's a watch, looking forward to it.
Q. I gather, I'm told you wanted an OMEGA watch?
GARETH MAYBIN: I really wanted one about two years ago, I did well in Korea and went and bought one, looks like I have two now.
Q. And the Seamaster is worth a pretty penny, as well.
GARETH MAYBIN: Not sure how much it's worth but happy to win it.
Q. Putting it on the scale of holes‑in‑one in your career, I know you've had another one in the past on The European Tour.
GARETH MAYBIN: I've had four in total. I had two this year, one in Holland and one here. But this definitely is the best one.
Q. You never tire of it.
GARETH MAYBIN: No, definitely not.
Q. Go on, put it in the picture of the whole of the round, because it didn't work out well in the end, did it?
GARETH MAYBIN: No, I played poorly today to be honest. I did well to shoot 3‑over. So I have a bit of work this afternoon, and try and regroup and play better at the weekend.
Q. That double as a result of the hole‑in‑one just straight after?
GARETH MAYBIN: No, just two horrific shots.
Q. But the big positive, as well as the watch, hey, you've made the cut and you'll have a nice tidy sum of money if you carry on.
GARETH MAYBIN: Correct. Looking forward to the weekend. Post a couple of good numbers and get one for Christmas.
