Q. Some good golf today, what do you make of your performance?
CALLUM SHINKWIN: Today I wasn't that great at the start, really. It was solid but nothing special. Yeah, I mean, the back nine just got the better out of people early on and stayed close behind as well.
Q. You kept your track record last year, apart from this venue, every single result has been within the Top-25. What do you think it's about the UAE soil that makes you feel comfortable?
CALLUM SHINKWIN: I don't know, really. Normally it's the start of the year, you're always excited to come out and play and you have great weather, normally. Yeah, it's great coming out here and playing. It's like summer back home, isn't it, 25, 30 degrees and pure sunshine.
Q. At 11-under, it's quite bunched, but given the opportunity tomorrow, how are you feeling about it overall?
CALLUM SHINKWIN: I don't really think about it too much. Tomorrow is another day. It's weird playing till Monday but it is what it is. Hopefully go and do the job tomorrow.
