DOHA, QATAR
Q. I presume that you are a satisfied map after a day like that in slightly windier conditions?
PAUL LAWRIE: Reasonably. I played really good today tee‑to‑green. Hit a lot of good shots and missed a lot of shot out there on the greens but tough to get the ball close to the hole today obviously because it's windier and the greens are a bit firmer. But overall, probably deserved a bit less.
Q. We certainly expect the winds in Qatar, are they markedly different to previous days?
PAUL LAWRIE: Yeah, much windier today and the pins are kind of tucked a little bit more than they have been. So a combination of the greens drying out and it's kind of a wee bit kind of tougher.
Q. Conscious of your position on the leaderboard?
PAUL LAWRIE: Yeah, I'm a leaderboard watcher. I knew what was going on. I was surprised when I looked up and saw Rafa where he was. Thought he would be a wee bit less out there but it's tough to make birdies and get the ball close. Tomorrow we'll see what happens.
Q. We've seen a round of 64, the anomaly; nobody can reach that otherwise.
PAUL LAWRIE: That's a great score, it so much tits than it's been, so 64 any golf course is a good effort.
Q. Are you feeling much more at one with your game?
PAUL LAWRIE: Yeah, tee‑to‑green today was very, very good, as good as I can play. I've only missed one fairway, I hit 16 greens yesterday, 17 today, so if I can play the same way tomorrow and hole a few putts, I can have a good day.
Q. What's the news from Turkey?
PAUL LAWRIE: Yeah, Craig, his first event, he shot 79, 81, two big scores. It's not easy. I spoke to him and he's fine about it and he's hitting balls again today. It's going to take a bit of time, we knew that, it's a big step up from what he was doing and we knew that, and he's a kid that works hard on his game and he'll get better.
