DOHA, QATAR
Q. Talk us through the last shot.
ERNIE ELS: Yeah, that was really nice. I thought I couldn't quite get to the green. I had 270 from the fairway, and was just trying to get it in the bunker. I saw the flag was in the front. But I didn't expect it to go in, so that was a real nice bonus.
Q. 14 new clubs in the bag, Rory McIlroy did that and was much criticized; you must know what you're doing. Tell us.
ERNIE ELS: I love the equipment (chuckles). Just everything about Adams. I haven't had a lot of time, my contract started the first of January, so that's maybe why I didn't play Durban and Abu Dhabi. I felt like I wasn't quite going to be ready. So I played in South Africa some social golf, and started really feeling comfortable. And it really feels great. I mean, I even feel like the driver is nice, I'm hitting it a little further I think. I was hitting it with the young boys today. The hybrids are nice, and you know, let get that putter warm, I think we're going to have a nice year.
So I'm really excited. It's like a man with new toys. I'm quite excited about the year.
Q. You mentioned the driver. I joined you on the 7th and you seemed to rip it 300 yards down the middle.
ERNIE ELS: Yeah, I've been struggling with the driver the last couple of years, so to find one that goes and I can move it right‑to‑left, at will, and I don't really have to work hard to move it right‑to‑left, I can hit the whole shot. I don't want to say too much if it's a nice round with new equipment but I'm really looking forward to the next couple of rounds.
