ABU DHABI HSBC CHAMPIONSHIPJanuary 19, 2017Kiradech AphibarnratAbu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Q. Thoughts on your opening round? KIRADECH APHIBARNRAT: Well, playing solid. I mean, 6-under to start the opening year, 2017, it's a good way to start. I've been working a lot the last few days with my new coach, Pete Cowen. Doesn't hit anything sharp but it's more consistent. Doesn't have a big miss today. Overall, 6-under for the start, I think it's great round. Q. What was the reason for the change of coach? KIRADECH APHIBARNRAT: Well, I've been stuck at the same position for like three years. Just moving forward. Never been working with overseas coach. I believe Pete, good background, look after a lot of top players. Try to get new experience and jump to the next step. Q. Your round got off to a slow start but it really got going around 16. Talk to us about that run. KIRADECH APHIBARNRAT: Oh, yeah. Well, starting, hit a lot of great iron shots in first four or five holes. Just can't hole the putt. Then 16, I pulled my driver in the rough. Hit like to the right maybe like 30 feet away. Holed that putt. Let me loose a bit. Let me relax more when the first birdie come. And good shot on 17 to five feet. Those two birdies loosen me a lot, so back nine, keep me going. Q. And the four birdies in a row? KIRADECH APHIBARNRAT: Well, hit a lot of short irons and hole the putts. That's the key, hit it in the fairways and make more putts. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
