Press Conference

Q. Just two shots back after what's been a relatively eventful two or three days, how would you sum up your performance so far?

IAN POULTER: I would say, I mean, I've played pretty much flawless golf. Round one, no bogeys, seven birdies, which was nice. And today, I had just as many chances. I just didn't take them.

So a little bit frustrated coming off at 8-under par. I really felt to be honest I coulda, woulda, shoulda, had a few more but we always say that when you see a few lip out and slide past and then you wish you had holed a few more.

Q. So all in all, it's pretty good. You had an awesome finish to round one yesterday afternoon and you had a quick turnaround for your second round. You had an early start this morning, but what it's like when you're trying to find your MoJo again?

IAN POULTER: Last night was easy. You just shot 7-under, you just want to keep playing as many holes as you possibly can.

Quick turnaround last night, but we was off the course, it gets dark pretty early. So enough sleep, fresh this morning, quick breakfast, stretch, warmup, back out on the course and felt pretty good as soon as I went back out on the course this morning.
