"I got off to a fast start which was huge, before the wind got up, it was inevitable out here in the Middle East, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Saudi is similar in that you get flat-calm mornings, but you know it's going to blow in the afternoon.It was nice to get out of there with 6-under par because I felt like I played great today. It would have been a horrible round to let get away but to finish birdie birdie birdie was nice, just feeding off Phil finishing with seven birdies on the back nine. It was Phil the thrill out there. It was fun to watch him and fun to play with him", McDowell said after the round.
