00:00So I don't know what they're doing up here, but it's going to be a really tough test and I think it's going to be one of the highest winning scores ever in the European tournament this week.
00:13I think Paris, I'm pretty, will they take the whole of Paris and sit here and wait? Possibly. That's how tough it's going to be.
00:22But you know, we have just played in probably the toughest conditions on Saturday this month. The next two days will be, yeah, we'll see how it goes.
00:31Your history with this event needs no introduction. Fifty years ago, since you won as an amateur, when you looked back, given all you've achieved in the game, how much pride do you have on that?
00:41Yeah, look, obviously that was a week that I'll never forget in the kick-start of my career. Since then, I've had a couple of chances.
00:52You know, I played pretty well last year, I got myself a chance on Sunday and that was very fun.
00:59So yeah, I love the opportunity to go and give it my all. I hope I'm up to the challenge. It's going to be hard, but yeah, we'll give it a go.
