DUBAI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY DP WORLDDecember 10, 2011Louis OosthuizenDUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: Played nicely. Made nice putts. Made a good eagle on 7 to get me going. It's all to play for tomorrow, depends on how well Alvaro plays. But you know, hopefully I can give myself a lot of birdie opportunities tomorrow again. Q. At that stage at the 7th, you must have thought, yeah, I've got a chance if I improve on this, and you did on that back nine. LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: Yeah, it felt like I started well again, birdie on 1. I failed a bit on the back nine, 13 and 14‑‑ or 14 and 15, which was right next to the green for two, and then failed to make birdies there but had a bonus birdie on 16 and that's always nice. Q. Sounds like some frustrations in there as well, despite the fact of where you find yourself on that board? LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: No, it's just you knew that you had to shoot a low one to be very close to Alvaro. There's a lot of holes left tomorrow. All going to be on him. He's going to have some pressure, if he goes in with a four‑ or five‑shot lead, and I think everyone behind is going to probably aim a bit more to the pin, and if we get a few birdies in there, should be a good last round. Q. Clearly we have seen rounds of 64 here. By and large, they are tending to be that little bit earlier in the day I guess; the wind becomes tricky, doesn't it? LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: Yeah, I enjoy the wind. I like working a bit of shots out. And I enjoyed it out there. I prefer actually teeing off a bit later‑‑ well, I think everyone prefers teeing off a bit later. But for the wind, I think around these greens, it's nice to work your way a bit in there. Q. I think we have had this conversation the last three years at least when you seemed to enjoy playing the desert courses, something about home about them? LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: Yeah, I enjoy it over here. A bit of a shame I can't play any of the three next year. My wife is due with a new little baby and want to spend a bit of time with them but hopefully in 2013 I can come out to play in those events again. Q. So leave the Middle East on a high note? LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: I'm going to try. I feel like I played really well the last two months, and a bit disappointed not to have a victory in those events. But you know, there's still tomorrow.
