00:00The adrenaline was flowing, the nerves were flowing, but that's what we're here for.

00:04It's what we work hard for. It's that feeling that makes me love this game.

00:09So I moved out almost, I think, three, four years ago now.

00:13And I think the first reason was the weather.

00:17You know, being in the UK, it's always raining, it's cold.

00:20You know, the facilities aren't very good.

00:21You come out here and the facilities are just world class.

00:25You know, I've also got my coach out here as well, which is a big help.

00:29And it's just the place to be, I think, for golfers.

00:35I took a four-month break of not playing competitive golf.

00:39So, you know, to see that I can come straight back and play some high-quality golf

00:43with some extremely good players is a real good boost.

00:49Last week, you know, set up a really good foundation, you know, for the rest of the year.

00:54It was a really good experience and it was nice to get some good golf under my belt.

00:57And, you know, really looking forward to this week as well.

01:02But I know what the greens are like, which is a real big boost.

01:05The greens around here are brutal.

01:06You know, very, very big greens, lots of undulation.

01:09And, you know, they're extremely quick this week, which is nice.

01:12But it's absolutely stunning golf course.

01:14It's probably my second or third favorite in the UAE.

01:17So I'm looking forward to what it holds for the rest of the week.

01:22Just want to build on last week.

01:24You know, I saw where my game's at and want to make a couple little tweaks this week

01:28to what happened last week.

01:30And I think just want to play some good golf, really.

01:33You know, play what I know I can do.
