Quick Quotes

BEN CAMPBELL: It's been a hot one out there sort of those last five or six holes. It's like the heater really turned up. Nice to be finished up.

Q. We were about to talk about your day a little bit but I think the fans would rather hear it from you. Could you take us through your day?

BEN CAMPBELL: Yeah, it was a little bit up and down. I felt like I got off to a good start, was swinging well, and then just sort of better with the swing the last nine holes. I haven't sort of been swinging that great to start the year and found something at the start of the week with the coach. It's been good. Just didn't quite finish it off today how I would have liked.

Q. I know one of your goals was to get into the top 24 by the end of the season. How important is it or how much pressure is it for you to get off to a good start to the season as we only have really 13 individual events and one team event?

BEN CAMPBELL: Yeah, definitely. I think you've just got to try and get points everywhere you can. Hong Kong was disappointing for me. Course setup played well. But the game isn't too much away. I sort of haven't been swinging it as well as I would have liked these weeks. A couple weeks off after this, and I feel like I'll sort of fine tune things. Still a big job tomorrow, and I'll have a little range session now, and it's not far away. If I can just stick to it tomorrow, I should be there or thereabouts.

Q. Some consider you an underdog. You're obviously a very established player. Does that work as motivation for you to maybe prove yourself a little out here?

BEN CAMPBELL: Yeah, definitely. It's nice that you can sort of fly under the radar a little bit. I've played a few Singapore Opens around here. I love this golf course. It's been a golf course that's treated me well in the past. Yeah, so it's a challenge. You've got to hit some great shots out there, and it was nice to hole a couple putts today.

Q. You're talking about some of the tee shots on some of the finishing holes as you were coming in. I almost feel like the RangeGoat black cat because every time I join someone in your team, something happens. You were coming down a difficult stretch down 13 where you hit it in the hazard and then again on 18. Were you feeling some nerves because you're one of the straightest drivers of the golf ball out here. Were you feeling any nerves?

BEN CAMPBELL: No, I was sort of just battling with the swing a little bit. I actually felt like even though I hit it in the water down 18, actually it was not the shot you're after, but the swing actually didn't feel too bad. I thought it was going to come back. But over-drew it a little bit too much. Yeah, there's just a few stretches out on this golf course, if you can get through 13, 14, 15 or even 12, that's a long hole, if you can get through that stretch even par and you play the 3rd and sort of 6 and 7, if you get through them, if you can shoot 1-under through those holes, you should have a great score out there.
