CIMB CLASSIC


October 20, 2016


Derek Fathauer


Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Q. Your thoughts on the day?
DEREK FATHAUER: Played really solid. Hit a lot of fairways, a lot of greens, and no bogeys. So eight birdies, no bogeys, and it was a great day.

Q. What is your strategy for the next day?
DEREK FATHAUER: Try to keep doing the same thing. Playing somewhat conservative, not hitting a lot of drivers. I didn't play a practice round, so I'm just trying to keep the ball in play.

Q. What kind of challenge was the weather?
DEREK FATHAUER: I just need to drink and stay hydrated. I wasn't feeling too good towards the end of the round. It's getting hot out there. I don't think I drank enough water. Stay hydrated and keep the ball in the fairway.

Q. How about your competitors, what do you feel about them?
DEREK FATHAUER: They were great. Nice guys. A lot of fun to play with.

Q. Eight birdies and no dropped shots today, how do you feel about your performance?
DEREK FATHAUER: I feel great. I didn't play a practice round. This is my first time here, and I thought I did really well out there. To not make a bogey was pretty good.

Q. And what were the conditions like for you?
DEREK FATHAUER: Pretty benign. Not a lot of wind. Everything's soft. The greens are good. Surprised there's not a whole lot of 8-unders, 7-unders. It was playing pretty easy out there.

Q. Did you find the weather, was it a big factor for you today?
DEREK FATHAUER: I'm from South Florida, so it's about as hot there. I do need to drink some more water. I probably only had two or three waters all day, so I'm going to go chug a few.

Q. You're well placed on the leaderboard. What's the game plan now moving forward?
DEREK FATHAUER: Just keep playing the way I've been playing. I think I'm playing a little more conservative than most guys. I'm not hitting driver that much. Seemed to work today and I'll kind of stick to my guns and see what happens.
