Transcript
00:00Well, sir, would you mind introducing yourself and telling us what you make of this Open?
00:04I'm Richard Knox from Greenville, South Carolina, and this Open is an incredible experience for the fans, I think.
00:13They're moving through the venue flawlessly and smoothly and getting to see golf at its best on one of its best courses.
00:25And it compares favourably to other ones you've been at?
00:28Absolutely. This one is, I think, run as well as any golf tournament I've ever been to.
00:34Well, that's high praise. How many Opens have you been to?
00:37I've been to four Opens. I've been to the Masters probably ten times. I've been to the U.S. Open, Walker Cup, Leiter Cup.
00:49As I said, this compares favourably to any of them.
00:52And you're a serial visitor to Northern Ireland as well. What is it that keeps dragging you back?
00:56The beauty, but most of all, the beauty.
