00:00No, not really. Yeah, it's good to be home in Northern Ireland. It's been a while since I've been back, so it's been nice to re-familiarise myself with the place a bit.
00:14But yeah, playing the Irish Open on arguably one of, if not the best golf courses in the world in my eyes is a real treat.
00:25We don't get to play this calibre of golf course very often on tour, so to be able to come and play somewhere like this is amazing.
00:33And yeah, I was out there for nine holes in the Pro-Am this afternoon, and the crowds are out there already.
00:42Playing with Tom the first two days as well is going to be great for both of us, a great experience for him as well.
00:50So hopefully these sort of stormy squalls blow through tonight and we can have some decent weather over the week.
00:59But yeah, excited to be back and looking forward to the week.
