“I played pretty well, for the most part, today – I just did not make any putts and three putted twice,” he told Khaleej Times. “I made some other silly errors – drove it fine and hit some good irons. Looking forward,

“I just need a low one, get on the birdie train – to be on the inside looking out, not the outside looking in.’
