Quick Quotes

Q 69 today with 5 birdies. How do you reflect on the start?

GREGORIO DE LEO: It was good. It was a good day. It wasn't easy because it was kind of windy since the start.

I played nicely. Unfortunately a couple of bogeys in the last. And I didn't make the birdie on 18 from a 6-footer. But I'm happy to do the first round.

Q A few bogeys on the back nine. It seems it played much tougher than before?

GREGORIO DE LEO: It is, yeah, it's playing a little bit, I feel like, tougher with this wind because it was pretty much -- it was cross-wind, so it was kind of tough to judge it. But, yeah, the back nine are playing a little bit tougher.

Q You finished 5th in India a few weeks ago. Your game must feel like it's in a good place at the moment.

GREGORIO DE LEO: It is, yeah. I feel like the game is in a good place. I feel like I'm playing quite well.

Last week, unfortunately, the putter wasn't with me, because I played really nicely tee to green. But the putter wasn't there. So I hope this week it will be -- it would be helpful.

Q And finally, you made it to this event, how are you approaching this week?

GREGORIO DE LEO: Just enjoying it. It's my first time here at the DP World Tour Championship. So I'm just trying to enjoy it.
