EMAAR-MGF INDIAN MASTERS


February 9, 2008


Arjun Atwal


NEW DELHI, INDIA

SHENTON GOMEZ: Arjun, good round today, tell us about it.
ARJUN ATWAL: It because hard again today. I played decent. I just made a lot of mistakes out there and I made a double on 7 which really hurt me a lot. I don't need to make any doubles on a golf course like this. I'm not going to hit it in the bush.
So apart from that, I hit it good. It was just really tough conditions again.
SHENTON GOMEZ: What's been the highlight for you today?
ARJUN ATWAL: Highlight, just keeping it just under the wind. There was really nothing -- it was pretty boring actually. I didn't do anything spectacular, no chip-ins or long putts. Just greens and making a few putts here and there.
SHENTON GOMEZ: What are your thoughts heading to the final round.
ARJUN ATWAL: I just don't want to be too for back, hopefully three or four back, but we'll see. I need it make a few more putts if I want to contend tomorrow, so hopefully I can roll them in tomorrow.

Q. ?
ARJUN ATWAL: You know, I haven't been able to read the putts too well, but my caddie does a pretty decent job. I'm a player that needs to feel the lines and speeds himself, and I haven't been able to do that all week this week. I just need to figure out for my own self tomorrow how to get it in the hole.

Q. ?
ARJUN ATWAL: It's been okay. I've struggled so badly last couple of -- year, year and a half, I'm happy to be in contention. Not that I know of complaints whatsoever about my game.
If I can keep putting I myself in contention again and again, I know I'll probably pull through because I've won before and I know how to win. So it's just good. I'm happy with the round of 70, 72, nothing disappointing at all.

Q. ?
ARJUN ATWAL: He's a great guy. I know him from Calcutta. He finished second to me at the indicate January open the year I won and known him ever since. He's a great kid and such a good, solid game. He really played well today. It was a shame on the last hole that he 3-putted, but apart from that, he hit it solid and made some nice up-and-downs.
It was an all-around solid game.

Q. ?
ARJUN ATWAL: It is tough. The leading score is 7-under I think; it's playing really hard. And to make it even tougher is the wind. The wind, it's all over the place, so it's not easy at all.

Q. ?
ARJUN ATWAL: Both. I pulled it and the wind took it. It kind of accentuated it and took it left of the green. I had a 50/50 chance of getting it on the green from there and tried to get cute and ended up paying for it.
SHENTON GOMEZ: Arjun, thank you for coming in. Good luck tomorrow.
