Quick Quotes

Q. Terrific birdie at the last for a round of 66 in tricky conditions. Reflect on your day for us?

DYLAN FRITTELLI: Similar to yesterday. We spoke on the 10th hole, and avoided as many bogeys as I could, all the tough situations, I managed to overcome and steal a few birdies, as well.

I was happy with the way I planned my way around the course and the way I affected all those tough situations to go in my favour.

Q. Looking at your recent results, one Top 10 in the last eight starts but nothing suggesting this sort of form. Have you felt it coming?

DYLAN FRITTELLI: Yeah, for sure. I played really well the last two or three months in South Africa. Had some good golf and haven't really strong together 72 holes. I've had three good rounds and two good rounds here and there. Nice to see momentum going the right direction through this tournament, and hopefully tomorrow can be the same.

Q. How excited to have an opportunity to win, particularly here in Dubai against a classy field?

DYLAN FRITTELLI: Yeah, exactly. We have tons of good players in this field. I haven't looked at the leaderboard in the last five or six holes. So I don't know who is up there right now, but there's some big names that are going to be chasing me, pushing me, trying to make it difficult.
