Abu Dhabi Championship: McIlroy 'struggling'

Sunday, January 18 2015 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Reaction from Rory McIlroy and Martin Kaymer after the Abu Dhabi Championship third round. McIlroy is in a tie for fifth on 12 under while Kaymer opens a six-shot lead before Sunday's final round.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Rory McIlroy:

    "I mean, can't really fault my game from tee to green but I just couldn't hole anything at all. I holed a couple of putts but... I don't know struggled to read them, struggled with the pace, struggled basically with everything. So... not good enough and, you know, looks like I'm playing for second place tomorrow."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Martin Kaymer, tournament leader:

    (On 10th hole where Kaymer chipped in from bunker for par five).

    "You know, it's a fairly simple shot the second one, like a high cut towards the middle of the green. That was the goal - two putts, four. But then after the second shot I found myself in a bush, needed to drop, then from the bunker holed the bunker shot to make five. So it was a big momentum keeper - you know, easily you can make bogey or double bogey."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Martin Kaymer, tournament leader:

    "You know what I said yesterday, I just know that I have birdied every single hole on that golf course. So it doesn't matter which hole it is, I stand on the tee box with a very positive thought... and I just hit the ball really well. You know, the last three days I didn't miss many fairways, I made a lot of putts - and if you read the greens well you will make putts, and that is what I enjoy the most, you know, that I barely read the wrong line."
