- What was the highlights of your round today jules?
- Birdie, birdie, birdie start was nice
- What was the low-light of your round?
- Finding the water on 18 really frustrated me. Had 235yards to the front edge and with the breeze helping it set up perfect, however i didnt find the sweet spot and it sliced straight of the club left and was only going to end wet and i could only manage a bogey. Hopefully i can get a fast start in round 2 and all will be forgotten.
- What did you think of the course?
- Course was playing great. Alot of holes i had the breeze into my face which helped to hold some of these tricky greens.
- How did you fare on the leaderboard?
Its early days but my 62 today will hopefully place me nicely in the pack clear of the cut and if i can shoot low tomorrow, possibly can think about making a top 25 which woulde nice.
- Who were you trying to beat? Well its only my 3rd start on the european tour and iv gone 2/2 cuts made so if i can once again make the cut and give myself a chance at a top 25 i will be very pleased with my progress without having to beat anyone inparticular!
- What do you think the winner will end up shooting and where do u think the cut line will be? think -50 will get the job done and to see the weekend here i think u need to be looking at shooting -14
- thanks for your time jules well played today and all goes well tomorrow we will have a chat during the weekend. Yeah hopefully and cheers guys!!

Next to the tent, Dave Mills...
Dave, what were your impressions of the first 18 here at Kobiashi? It's a beautiful course, I couldn't do anything during my practice rounds, and didn't fare much better today.
67 today, right? Yeah, solid round, but definitely left a few out there today. Made a terrible pitch at the 1st and had to settle for par, made birdie at the 2nd, and then made a mess at the 3rd for bogie. Finished the front nine with 3 more birdies. Then 3 birds and a bogie on the back nine.
What do you think you'll need to do tomorrow? Honestly, I think need to improve a bit in the 2nd round to be here for the weekend. There were some low scores made by some of the premier players. But glancing at the big board, there have already been 8 rounds of 70 or above turned in. All last week there were only 11 rounds of 70 or more. So that shows this course has some teeth.
Any prediction on the cut? Um, one shot more than my two round score. No seriously.... unlike some of the other courses we have played this year so far, this week there are more chances to make big numbers. Up until now, a par felt like a bogie, and bogies were disasters. Here, you can make a 5 or even a 6 without much trouble. There are low scores to be had, but drive it off the tee into some deep rough or a bunker, and go for a green guarded by water, boom there's a bogie at best. I have heard players throwing numbers out there from 12 to 16 under. I am thinking myself closer to 10 under, and if the wind keeps up it could go down to 8.
Finally, congrats on making another cut last week. Thanks, and a special thanks to the players who WD'd last week to make it possible. I like the way my finishes are trending. 84th, 64th, 56th. Last week was the first week I was able to actually gain ground after making the cut. With the level of competition on this tour, a player like myself has to start strong just to make the weekend, and sometimes your so mentally ground down from that it is hard to concentrate once the third round begins.
Also congrats to my practice round partner Tony McGettigan for his fantastic play in round 1. Cheers mate!

Next we welcome Andi Smith, HI ANDI, QUIET WEEK WITHOUT YOU LAST WEEK?
Hi, glad you had a quiet week, mine was practice, practice, practice, disciplinary, and more practice. OH YES, YOUR ABUSE OF SPECTATORS LAST WEEK, WHAT WAS THE EUROPEAN TOUR DECISION?Well I'm not saying to much, an undisclosed fine and a very strong verbal warning regarding my actions, i've have been told in no uncertain terms that what I did is unacceptable, that's the end of that. RIGHT HOW WAS YOUR OPENING TWO ROUNDS?Not to bad not to good, mixed bag really, good -11 in round 1 followed by bad putting in round 2 for a -7 , hopefully -18 will see me here for the weekend. HAVE YOU SEEN THE LEADERBOARD RECENTLY?To be honest I try not to look but me auld buddy Tony McGettigan keeps tweeting me to have a long hard look at it, lol , I personally think there is an imposter on the course for his score to be so low , either that or he's putting with his eyes shut again. YOUR AWFUL, WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS IF YOU MAKE THE WEEKEND?Hopefully another couple of steady rounds, a top 25 finish will be what i'm hoping for but we shall see what occurs. THANKS ANDI, SEE YOU ON SATURDAY IF YOUR HERE?That you will, Thanks.

Next into the press tent its Tony Mc Gettigan, Tony after a brill 36 opening to the kobeoshi royal tourney what happened to u R3?Well ive always believed in the auld superstition 3rd time lucky, it wasnt the case in Malaysia tho , i just got off 2 a real slow start to R3 n never clawed it back The short downhill par 3 really gave u problems R3.What happened?Yea i took a 7 on that hole, went in the water twice off the tee, n with that my chances of winning the tourney went out the window. As already mentioned u got off 2 a real fast start, there were positives in this tourney for u.Yes there were, but doin half a job wont suffice,Round 1 n 2 i putted lights out. R3 i had no lights to turn on,i literally fused!!, couldnt see a thing U seem to b taking the dissapointment of blowing a considerable lead quite well, how?
Well u have to take the positives from an unsatisfying result,got myself into a great position then flopped like a jelly bean on a wet mattress as youve reminded me of several times now but slightly pleased how i bounced back with a decent 63 in round 4, oh n i beat Andi Smith over 4 rounds AGAIN!! always pleasing that!! Thanks for your time Tony!!Pleasure,would like 2 congratulate Brionne Beaumont-Thomas on winning the tourney here in Malaysia this week, oh n to another two friends n rivals of mine Tom Humphries n Alan Browne on finishin tied 2nd. Dont know whats worse,Listenin to Tom brag all week or listenin 2 Andi Smith doin his cover of ub40's classic hit slightly renamed 'whine whine whine' when he has an unsatisfying tourney result Good day to u Sir!!
