Quick Quotes

Q. So 7-under round today.

ANIRBAN LAHIRI: 8.

Q. Oh, 8. That's amazing.

ANIRBAN LAHIRI: Yeah.

Q. Walk us through it and what was working.

ANIRBAN LAHIRI: Yeah, I think the course is obviously you can make a lot of birdies. Greens are rolling really good. I have think that's -- we're all really excited about the fact that course is playing so well.

You know, last couple times we were here it wasn't to this standard so that's great. I think yesterday I really struggled on the greens a little bit, struggled with my yardage control.

So did some practice. Readjusted my putter. Wasn't happy how that was coming out. Obviously today rolled it really good. Hit my wedges a lot closer as well.

So, yeah, was able to get some momentum. Was able to string some birdies together on the back nine. Felt nice to roll a few putts in and make a bunch of birdies coming in.

Q. So is this a good practice for Riyadh next year on LIV?

ANIRBAN LAHIRI: No, this event is important to me. I want to play well on the weekend. I want to get in the mix on Saturday ideally.

So it's been a few months since we finished and I've only played twice. It's hard to get into a rhythm, so it was nice today to really lock in and make a lot of like I said to roll some putts in and feel like you can make some more birdies. Like every hole you give yourself a chance you can do something.

So, yeah, I'm just happy with how I played today. You know, I'm going to try and do my best the next two days. Obviously let's of birdies out there so you have to go low.
