Waugh said: “We managed to hole a couple of putts mid-way through the front nine which kept the score going and then Simon hit some really good shots and I sneaked in a couple of good shots as well, then we had a really good finish so it was a good day - really happy.
“We’re enjoying the week - the resort is beautiful, the views are spectacular, the course is great - we’ll just try our best and see where we end up tomorrow.”
Whitwham added: “It’s a very good layout, you’ve got to think your way around, you can’t just turn up and smash it, you’ve got to position your ball really well and if you don’t you’re in trouble. It’s a strong finish as well, the last three holes are quite tough, so to finish as strong as we did was really pleasing.
“The setup is fantastic, the rooms are great, the facilities are fantastic and the food has been awesome so it’s been perfect, we can’t ask for anything else.”
