OMEGA DUBAI DESERT CLASSIC


February 1, 2013


Andreas Harto


DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Q.  How do you like your position on the board after two days?
ANDREAS HARTØ:  I'm obviously very happy.  Nice to be back up there after last week.  I played bad Saturday in Qatar but I'm still comfortable with my game.  I just feel good in general on the golf course.  I have my coach down for a couple of days, and tweaked around a few stuff but it was small stuff.  It seems to be working.

Q.  One of those things that you just need a little reminder?
ANDREAS HARTØ:  Yeah, definitely, it's all back to basics.  There was a little in my setup.  It's all those‑‑ when you are gone for a couple weeks, you get little things in your swing.  It's just small things that I have to change a little bit and seemed to work pretty well.

Q.  What worked today?  It's been trickier conditions for you and you've shot a nice score?
ANDREAS HARTØ:  I got off to a nice start.  Was 4‑under on the front nine, made some good putts, big right‑to‑left putts and that was very nice to get off to that start.
I struggled a little bit on the back nine, but I got up‑and‑down quite a few times from difficult angles.  You are not going to hit every green around this golf course and short game has to be good, too.
On a day like this when it's tricky and the wind is swirling a little bit, you have to get up‑and‑down a couple of times and I managed to do that pretty well today.

Q.  Is this a tournament you've watched down the years and thought, one day?
ANDREAS HARTØ:  Obviously.  I always thought the Middle East tournaments would suit my game pretty well.  The courses are pretty long and you have to drive the ball well, which I have managed to do.  I mean, apparently it seems to work that way, too.

Q.  And you have lots of desert courses in Denmark?
ANDREAS HARTØ:  Yeah, all over the place.  Not many, but long courses suit my game and suit my eye and this is a pretty long and good test.  It's working out.

Q.  I'll state the obvious, but you must be excited into the weekend and finding yourself in that position?
ANDREAS HARTØ:  Yeah, I have a little bit to revenge from last week where I messed up on the Saturday but I'm looking forward to it.  It's just great being here.  As I said last week, too, I'm just enjoying myself and having fun out there and that's the most important thing.
