00:00I'm Jordanian, but I just sort of grew up my whole life here.

00:08I was raised here.

00:09I did all my schooling here, and obviously this is the place where I played all my golf

00:13growing up, up until now.

00:15So it's always been like my home.

00:17Everything I've sort of ever done was here in Dubai.

00:21So when I was younger, about four years old, I had this old gaming console, it's called

00:26the Wii.

00:27It had a variety of different sports on it, one of them being golf.

00:30So I don't know, I was always attached to golfing on there.

00:34So my dad noticed that and decided, why don't we pick it up outside and see where it goes?

00:39And I was always attached to it.

00:41You know, I love golf since I was really, really young, so just sort of stuck to it.

00:48Some of my most memorable ones include the ones where I broke course records.

00:52Those are obviously the ones that you think about the longest.

00:55They stay in your memory for a while.

00:57One of them being JA Amateur, which I broke the course record there, and it's my home

01:01course where I do my coaching.

01:02So it's pretty cool to have that there.

01:04I still think about it to now, even though it was a little bit ago.

01:08So under the World Amateur Golf Ranking, I'm ranked 402nd as an amateur.

01:13In the juniors, I'm ranked top 60.

01:16Coming up next week, I've got the Asian Games in China, which is quite a big event this

01:20year.

01:21And end of October is the Asia Pacific Amateur in Australia.

01:24We're going to be playing in Royal Melbourne, which is a very world-renowned golf course.

01:28So that's super exciting, having a chance to compete in that high level of competition

01:32as well.

01:33And then hopefully a professional start later on in the year.

01:36It's always good to represent your country, to be representing them in these big events

01:41coming up.

01:42It's pretty cool.

01:43You have your own sort of team, and you have that team factor as well.

01:49The biggest thing for me, the main goal that I really want to get to, is to just be the

01:54best player in the world.

01:56Everything that sort of happens along the way should just happen on its own.

01:59But that's kind of where I want to get to at the end.
