OMEGA DUBAI DESERT CLASSIC


January 31, 2014


Damien McGrane


DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Q.  Your thoughts on backing up a good first round?
DAMIEN McGRANE:  Yeah, I played nicely again today.  Putter didn't work quite as well and missed a few fairways as well but it keeps me there or thereabouts.

Q.  Presumably a lot of satisfaction on the first day, no particular frustration today?
DAMIEN McGRANE:  No, no, I kept it simple as best I could.  I stuck to my game plan and weather is beautiful.  So it yields plenty of opportunities.

Q.  It has been a place where you enjoy coming and playing?
DAMIEN McGRANE:  Yeah, I enjoy the course.  It's not all about length.  It's about strategy and position.  I enjoy the course and I always enjoy my three weeks in Dubai.

Q.  Thinking back to the year you had your greatest year, that was probably all kick started here, wasn't it?
DAMIEN McGRANE:  Absolutely.  I have fond memories, going back a few years now, but the course changes from year‑to‑year and I'm that little bit older so possibly have to work a little bit harder.

Q.  What are those memories?  I seem to recall one of them was laying with Tiger Woods?
DAMIEN McGRANE:  Yeah, played with him so that was good at the time.

Q.  When are your thoughts going into the weekends?
DAMIEN McGRANE:  I'll probably need to do the same again or slightly better but it's all in front of me now.

Q.  Do you get a sense that the conditions get harder of an afternoon; that the pack might come back just that little?
DAMIEN McGRANE:  Yesterday proved to be a little bit more difficult and I think the wind might reappear this afternoon.  But as I said, the forecast is for a little bit of air, so wait and see what happens.
