Press Conference

Q. That's on that?

ADRIAN MERONK: Overall, solid game. The it was tricky out there. The course got firmer and firmer. Greens were fast. Yeah, just playing really solid from tee-to-green. I holed a lot of good putts, a couple good saves.

Q. When you're on the back of a three-win season, I think it would be fair to stay you're a prolific winner on tour now. Give us an idea about the immense amount of experiences of getting the job done, what it gives you in terms of mentally what you've got to do right going into the final two days here.

ADRIAN MERONK: It just gives you -- the experience gives you a little more confidence that you've done it before, so you can do it again. The key just to stick to your plan for your game, trust your shots, full commitment. Don't get too ahead of yourself. I think that's the key. It's easy to say but I think you have to experience first and then it gets easier but it's never easy. But at least I have some experience under my belt.

Q. Let's just finish with confidence still. You get told by lots of people how well you've played, but this week you found out that your peers feel you were the Player of the Year on the DP World Tour last season. In terms of a confidence bump, did it have an impact coming into this week?

ADRIAN MERONK: Yeah, definitely. I wasn't expecting that award to be honest. When I got it, I was super surprised. Yeah, it's a great feeling to be awarded by the players. It's special and I'm thankful to every player who voted for me.
