00:00We're here in Dubai at the last minute of the season. You must have done something right to be here, I guess.

00:05Yeah, I didn't put all my time into the DP World Tour this year, so it's actually really nice to get here.

00:11The last month and the last three tournaments have been really good to me, to sneak into South Africa last week

00:18and then get in to play decent and get into this week.

00:21A lot's gone well and a lot has needed to be improved, so it was kind of a kick in the teeth

00:29and I needed to get better and it came out good the last month, so I'm happy to be here.

00:35Dubai's a pretty cool place to come and finish this year, isn't it?

00:38Yeah, it's awesome. They do it pretty nice here. The weather's warm, kind of getting used to the Aussie heat.

00:44It's probably the warmest week of the year and the ball goes far, which is nice.

00:50It's always a nice time to come over and play these courses.

00:54What are your thoughts on the course and what do you think you've got to do right this week?

00:57It sounds like they've tricked it up a little bit.

00:59So far it has been tricky. I don't think I've hit a fairway and it's been about seven holes,

01:03so you have to hit the fairway here. The rough is thick and some parts of the greens are pretty firm

01:10and especially coming out of the rough it's tough to stop, so you definitely need to be on your A game this week

01:16or hope everyone else is on their B or C game.

01:19You need to throw a low round in there and then be solid on the other three rounds.

01:26Usually at the end of the season you get some time off, but obviously there's a couple of events in Aus coming up.

01:32I guess it's all systems go again for the next season.

01:35Yeah, it's strange because I guess this one's the end of the season, but not really because there's two more afterwards.

01:40I'm excited to go back to Australia and play with the home crowd and it's going to be awesome.

01:47I played earlier in the year in Australia and it was unbelievable.

01:51I know Brisbane and Melbourne are waiting to see lots of the golfers come back and play.
