ABU DHABI HSBC GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP


January 23, 2016


Ian Poulter


Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Q. Fantastic round today, thus far, you really got going with some birdies. What did you find out there?
IAN POULTER: I holed a couple of nice putts, which was key to moving up the board. Quite happy. I played real solid. The thumb wasn't an issue today, which is great. It's healed nicely overnight. I was able to hit some good shots. I was able to take advantage and hole a couple of nice putts. I find myself on the board.

It's nice to see myself on the board. It's nice to get off to a good start to 2016 and hopefully I can continue that through tomorrow and have a good finish.

Q. Do you think the EurAsia Cup helped you?
IAN POULTER: Sure, it's match-play golf, and you go head-to-head, and whenever you go head-to-head, you get the juices going, and that's obviously nice as the first tournament of the year. So I think it's done me some good, and I think I'm looking forward to what the challenge is for the next 20, 26 holes.

Q. And what did you do to sort out the thumb problem?
IAN POULTER: It's had a little piece of gauze put underneath and then it's been taped over the top. So it's all right. It's healing and it will be fine tomorrow.
