00:00You've made it to the Grand Final. How do you feel?

00:04Yeah, I'm quite happy being here. It's a good chance to finish the year strong.

00:09It was a goal of mine to try to be here this week, so it's already a big accomplishment.

00:15What do you feel you have to do?

00:17I need a really good position, really good finish this week.

00:19In my head I have like a top three finish. I think maybe top three finish is kind of my goal for the week.

00:25It's quite a high goal, quite tough, but that's what I'm focused on.

00:29The closest I can get to that goal will be a good week.

00:342015 in Oman, you know what that feeling was like.

00:37Yeah.

00:38What was it like that week in Oman and you know what that feeling is to be able to graduate?

00:43Yeah, I mean that was an amazing feeling.

00:46I guess it's a bit different just because that year in Oman when I arrived to the final,

00:53my tour card was secured already.

00:55So I guess it's more like the feeling I had the previous week in China when I won,

00:59because that's when I was playing for my card and having that win.

01:04That was an amazing feeling.

01:06So that's kind of what I'm hoping for I can achieve this week,

01:09because I really need a good finish.

01:12So yeah, having a win here or securing my tour card here would be amazing.

01:17Obviously a home event for you.

01:19Is it a strange one? Is it kind of pressurising? Is it nerve-wracking? Or is it nice?

01:23No, I think it's nice. I always feel comfortable playing in Spain.

01:27Just being surrounded by Spanish people, Spanish food, everything.

01:31It just feels more like being at home.

01:34And I also have my mum and a couple of friends coming tomorrow to watch me.

01:38So yeah, it always helps having the local support.
