Cabrera-Bello's 'hot putter' ensures lead in Dubai

Saturday, February 06 2016 by SNTV
  • Reaction after Rafa Cabrera-Bello takes a slim one-shot lead following round two of the Dubai Desert Classic on Friday (5th February).

    SOUNDBITE (English) Rafa Cabrera-Bello, Spain, first place on 10-under:

    "Oh, very satisfied. It was hard out there with the wind. I wasn't as sharp today with the long game, but still not bad. I mean, just not giving myself lots of birdie chances, just not so close, but the putter today was really hot. It made up for everything."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Ernie Els, South Africa, joint second place on nine-under:

    "Yeah, it's quite nice (to be in contention). Surprising a little bit. Perfect conditions this morning. A couple of better flag positions, you know, a little tougher to get to the holes. But I'm very pleased with that. It probably won't hold up, but I'll be in the mix and thereabouts, so that's all I can ask for."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Danny Willett, England, joint second place on nine-under:

    "No it's good. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, they're all the same with the wind, obviously, in the afternoon picking up. It's always nice to go out there in the morning, you've got nice, fresh greens and the wind's usually not as strong as it is in the afternoon. It's nice to actually go and count on that and post a good score."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Henrik Stenson, Sweden, joint ninth place on seven-under:

    "Yeah absolutely, it was a tough day out there. The wind is blowing pretty hard and you've got a lot of crosswinds, both off the tee and into the greens, so you've got to control your shots. I managed to do that quite well, but there were still a couple of occasions where I didn't. Then you have to fight hard to make par. Happy with the score, and it didn't make it feel any worse draining a 50-footer (15-metre putt) up at the last."
