Wasim said, "I struck the ball well, landing it close for most of the day. My tee shots and iron play were great. I finished 11th in the season-opener last week in Gurugram so that also gave me confidence coming into this week.
"The RCF Golf Course is in great condition and the approaches on the Par-5s can be tricky here as the greens are guarded by water hazards. Therefore, one has to watch out for the Par-5s."
