00:00I'm very excited. I'm just excited to play tournaments in general because I've been out for a while due to injury
00:05So and also to have a challenge tour event first time participating in that. It's always a good
00:12Thing to play with such players and play in big events like that, which is gonna take me to the next level
00:17Because it's the one below the European tour. So that's what I want to be. So it's building up building my way up to that level
00:25About your injury. How's the rehab going? And how's your preparation been going recently?
00:30It's kind of much better. It's taken a year like I have a disc in my lower back
00:35it's much better now, but still have to stay on top of that and
00:39Obviously can't practice as much as I would like but at least I'm able to practice now
00:44With these two events in Abu Dhabi, you'll have the opportunity to then play in Europe with the challenge tour. That's pretty cool, isn't it?
00:52Yeah, I mean, I think I have seven spots. I'm not sure yet, but
00:56These two are to ease my way in and then try to
00:59Take advantage of it. How do you think you'll feel playing in those events?
01:02Obviously always gonna be a bit nervous, but it's a good thing. It's like excited and
01:07It's because I care so just go out there do my best and see how that goes
01:13You must know Abu Dhabi golf balls and Sadia at the back of your hand
01:17I know tell us a bit about like I played the Abu Dhabi national three times in the HSBC
01:22So I've played them in the toughest conditions
01:24So that's gonna help but I've never played Sadia in a pro event only amateur. So first I'm playing off the tips
01:31So let's see how that plays out. They're two very different courses though, aren't they? What are both challenges at each course?
01:39Usually on Abu Dhabi, it's the rough
01:42I'm not sure if the rough is that as thick as the HSBC at the moment. So I
01:46Think maybe the length of some holes and here it's obviously the length of tips and when it gets really windy
