UBS HONG KONG OPEN


October 22, 2015


Kevin Phelan


Fanling, Hong Kong

Q. Thought on the day?
KEVIN PHELAN: Pretty happy with it. Played nicely all day. Any time I was in trouble, I kind of got out of it pretty quickly. So yeah, it was good, holed a few putts. It's nice.

Q. Coped with the heat nicely?
KEVIN PHELAN: Yeah, first time playing in weather like this in a while. Took a bit of getting used to yesterday. But yeah, it was okay. Guzzling water.

Q. When you had a little bit of sunshine in Portugal, it wasn't quite like this, was it?
KEVIN PHELAN: No, it was pretty brief, as well. Yeah, it was -- it's nice to play in these conditions as long as you can stay hydrated.

Q. Tell us your state of mind. I know Portugal was a last-minute entry and you're chasing your card for next year. Is it top six you have to finish, something like that?
KEVIN PHELAN: I haven't looked at it but yeah after the Dunhill, I kind of had written the year off. I thought I was just going to go to Tour School. Didn't think I would get in here or Portugal. Went to Portugal Wednesday night, played. I think I was 50-something reserved when the entries came out and got in pretty comfortably in the end.

Yeah, just delighted to have another chance.

Q. Does that, therefore, mean that everything is a bonus and you're staying fairly relaxed about the situation?
KEVIN PHELAN: Yeah, definitely looked at it as a bonus, especially getting to these tournaments so late. Arrived here Tuesday night and Portugal Wednesday night, so can't do the usual preparations. So yeah, just looked at it as a bonus and try and do the best I can.

Q. It does beg the question, how is the jet-lag?
KEVIN PHELAN: Not too bad. I've been lucky enough, any time I've come here, I've kind of gotten a good night's sleep the first night, which is probably the most important. Then I've just been kind of 8.00, 3.00. I've been sleeping. That's fine for today. I had an early tee time. Yeah, it was okay.
