COMMERCIAL BANK QATAR MASTERS


January 23, 2013


Simon Khan


DOHA, QATAR

Q.  Your thoughts on 5‑under?
SIMON KHAN:  Yes, it was a good day, obviously wind never got up, it normally does in the afternoon and that helped this afternoon.  It was very scorable and I think if the weather stays like this all week, the scoring will be good.
After last week, more than rusty really when I played Abu Dhabi and so I just need an event before to get going and it's felt a lot better this week.  The swing, drove it a lot better today than I did last week, put myself in a lot of good positions and that was the key.  Some iron shots weren't as good as they can be, but you know, not to make a bogey is satisfying, yeah.

Q.  My memory says that you've had some decent form around here in the past?
SIMON KHAN:  Yeah, I think last year I was going quite well in the final round but out of the three, I feel like this is the course that sort of suits me the most maybe and I enjoy the most, even when the wind gets up, I enjoy the shots around here and it's not so many dog‑legs and big hitters cutting corners here.
It's more straightaway holes and I like that about this course.  The rough is sort of manageable.  You can still, you know, it's just set up really well.

Q.  And clearly with this, it's a lovely foundation for the week, isn't it?
SIMON KHAN:  Yeah, yeah, absolutely.  I'm looking forward to it now, and yeah, I feel there's always that apprehension, a little bit of every part of your game I suppose at the start of the season but starting to hit the shots again.

Q.  Did you winter well?
SIMON KHAN:  I did, yeah, I tried to keep going and I worked hard on my putting really, that was the main focus, and that's really the last two years what has not been going that well, so although, you know, I know there's a good putter in there, sort of letting it come out now and hope I'm okay the rest of the week.
