“It was a bit scrappier than yesterday, I didn’t drive it quite as well, a little sloppy hitting in the water on the last – that doesn’t help – but hit my irons really good and gave myself plenty of chances.

“I made seven birdies today so hopefully I can just keep it going the next couple of days, but it’s been a lot of fun out there.”

Ras Al Khaimah Classic 2022 R2

The New Zealander missed the cut at last week’s Ras Al Khaimah Championship due to back problems but has recovered and opened with a 63 on Thursday

“I struggled with my back last week and I was fighting, everything was crossed over and I didn’t know where I was aiming. I was just pretty much trying to hit the ball to be honest and I was probably quite glad I had a weekend off.

“Had a lot of physio work over the weekend with the tour physios and then with my physio from Tuesday onwards. That loosened everything up and I felt like I could turn through it again, I felt like I could start the ball where I wanted to and from that point it was kind of easy. I felt like I could hit my shot where I wanted to which was a nice place to be.”
