CIMB CLASSIC


October 27, 2013


Rashid Ismail


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA

Q.  Just talk about your round today and sum up the week for us.
RASHID ISMAIL:  The round was okay, except that after the delay I lost my focus actually, so bogeyed the last five.  Overall for this event I'm not so happy because a lot of shots that I wanted to do, I can't.  So maybe after I heal fully maybe.  Next year I try to play better.

Q.  If you had a chance to re‑hit one shot this week, which shot would that be?
RASHID ISMAIL:  It would be hole No.9 yesterday.  If I can re‑drive that hole, that would be perfect.

Q.  You've been struggling with injuries this year.
RASHID ISMAIL:  Uh‑huh.

Q.  How has the injury been for you, and what are you looking forward to in the next month or so maybe next year?
RASHID ISMAIL:  Honestly, I just don't feel like to play tournaments this year anymore after this.  But basically I can't.  I've got one event here and one more last one, so I figure out how to do it, but obviously it's not my real golfer.  I can play better than this, obviously.

Q.  What have you learned about yourself this week?
RASHID ISMAIL:  I learned to stay patient, I guess, which I don't have.  On the golf course it reflects my score yesterday.  I was okay until the last few holes, I just blow four or five shots because I'm not accepting the results.  So then come back home, I think I'm stupid now because I think the shot really hurts me, of course I will make mistakes, and I saw players playing with me the first two days, they are very cool when they would make a silly mistake.  They would keep cool, keep focusing, and get a few birdies back.

Q.  The first day was so good, and then where you ended up‑‑
RASHID ISMAIL:  Yeah.  I know I can play a lot under par, but my target is to play below 75 every day if possible, maybe shoot 1‑under, 2‑under a round and I'd be happy.  But I feel like even to make it today, I set myself to shoot at least 1‑under par.  It's actually almost there until the last holes, and then I continue, I blow up all the last five holes.
