"I think I was playing really well even on the front nine," he said. "A few putts didn't drop but I just kept putting myself in good positions hole after hole and a few putts actually dropped on the back nine so that's great.

"It was definitely one of my best ball striking rounds out here this year and last year so I'm very happy with my round. The long game was just absolutely perfect, I was striking it shot after shot."

The Frenchman won his maiden title in the first edition of the event last year and has one more title to his name having won the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in March this year.

"You have to be over aggressive over and over and I did that really well last year. Obviously I can use that experience from last year, I think that's helping me because last year I was so aggressive over four rounds and I think it's paying off again this week.

"If I can keep doing what I'm doing for the next two days hopefully there will be a good result in there."
