Q. 67 yesterday, 67 today. You must be pretty pleased with that.
JACO AHLERS: Yeah, pretty happy. Today was a little bit more scrappy than yesterday, but the putter was working. So, yeah, all good, good start. It's been trending for a while, so it's nice to get some scores on the board.
Q. What do you think of Riyadh Golf Club? It suits your game. Are you quite liking it?
JACO AHLERS: Yeah, I do. We played here in March or April, and I did pretty well there. I always liked the look of the golf course.
At the end of the day, you've just got to make a few putts and make as many birdies as you can. I like it, looking forward to the weekend.
Q. Big week for you, big week for everyone, 1,000 points up for grabs on the rankings. Is that something you're thinking of? I know you were so close last year terms of the promotions and everything like that. Is that in the back of your mind?
JACO AHLERS: Not really. I'm a little bit too far back. Even if I win that, I probably won't get there.
It's just the final tournament of the season. It's been an odd season. I've played decent, haven't really had the good finishes I wanted, but finish it off this week would be great.
Q. I think you are 32nd in the International Series rankings. I was looking at that. That could really project you up if you have a strong finish.
JACO AHLERS: Yeah, but if you don't finish first, that's not going to help you much.
Q. But just going into next week as well with LIV Golf promotions?
JACO AHLERS: I'm not playing it.
Q. You're not playing it?
JACO AHLERS: Well, there's only one spot. I've got Leopard Creek down in South Africa, so I'll just play down there next week, which I most launched here because of the Promotions. Looking forward to a nice family week next week at Leopard Creek.
Q. You've been on the road for quite a while, have you?
JACO AHLERS: Yeah, this is 10 out of 12. Going away for Christmas.
Q. What's it like in South Africa this time of year?
JACO AHLERS: It's beautiful. It's summer, lovely. A bit warmer than this, but it's pretty close to this. Can't wait.
