Quick Quotes

Q. Try and describe your day for us.

KAZUMA KUBORI: Much easier. Much quicker. Yeah, it was a good day out there. Can't complain. Made one bogey on the opening hole, but other than that pretty happy with how I played.

Q. Just how different is the course today compared to yesterday?

KAZUMA KUBORI: Yeah, a lot different. Golf ball doesn't move on the green when you're trying to line it up, which is nice. But, yeah, overall, it was a bit warmer as well, especially on the back nine, so you don't have to wear three layers and shift everything around. So it was actually quite a pleasant day out there as well.

Q. You're No. 1 in driving accuracy on the DP World Tour this season. Second last year. Is this a course that suits your eye and you can keep it in play?

KAZUMA KUBORI: Maybe, sure. We'll go with that. No, I've been driving it quite well. Actually been battling a bit like maybe the last month or so, but I think we figured out what's going wrong and, yeah, drove it well today. Yeah, hopefully keep that going would be good.

Q. What did you figure out -- you had a top 10 at the British Masters -- what have you figured out?

KAZUMA KUBORI: Just experimenting with the driver heads and stuff like that. I had a bit of a hard time adapting with the new model that Titleist brought out. But I've done a bit of experimenting and I think we got to a good setup. With driver, you want to get to a spot where you can just swing it and not really steer it all too much. So, yeah, I think we got to that point.
