00:00I'm Marta Biswas.
00:03I am the owner of White Eagle Sport.
00:08White Eagle Sport Company, it's a golf event organizer.
00:12We are organizing the corporate golf events, and we are the sponsor of Adrian Merong.
00:19I'm Polish.
00:20Adrian is Polish as well.
00:22When I picked up golf, it was about seven years ago, I started following Polish players.
00:27We didn't have, so it was only Adrian, who was on a challenge tour that time.
00:33I was still always following him and seeing what he does, where he plays.
00:39About two years ago, he entered finally the European tour, and it became like more easy
00:46to see him even here in UAE.
00:48After talking to him, such a great guy, modest, very down-to-earth, we've decided to support
00:54him, and we proposed him to be one of his sponsors.
01:00So White Eagle Sport became a sponsor of Adrian Merong.
01:04We were always flying just to see him playing, either it was Qatar or here in Dubai, Abu
01:11Dhabi as well.
01:12We supported him in Ras Al Khaimah.
01:14So there were places, even just recently, one month ago, we visited Amsterdam and we
01:19watched Dutch Open.
01:23We were planning actually to see him playing either Irish Open or Scottish Open or the
01:28Open.
01:30We decided to go for the Horizon Irish Open at the DP World Tour, as we had the feeling
01:38that he might win.
01:45We supported Adrian from day one at Mount Juliet.
01:50It was amazing to see him playing.
01:52He's such a great golfer.
01:54During the Horizon Irish Open, we were surprised with how many people support golf there.
02:02Ireland is just filled with golfers, amateur, professional golfers.
02:08Everybody supported Adrian.
02:09I've seen the Irish people, they just love sport.
02:11They love golf, and they will follow everyone who is just a good golfer, who is just playing
02:17good golf.
02:18And they were very fair to the players.
02:23The game feels good.
02:24I love this place.
02:25I just try to enjoy the weekend here.
02:31I've been working on my commitment for every shot the last couple of weeks, and it seems
02:40like it's working pretty well this week.
02:42So I'll just keep doing that and we'll see what happens.
02:49I'm quite excited, just happy with my score so far.
02:54I played really solid again today, and I can't wait for tomorrow for sure.
03:08And it might just keep him moving forward.
03:10A par that will feel maybe a little better than that.
03:14What a time to do it for Adrian Moronke.
03:17He takes the lead with just two holes left to play in the Horizon Irish Open.
03:21Adrian on the hole 16, it was just something which gave a kick to him, I guess, the shot
03:27on the 16th hole.
03:28The reaction of the crowd was just outstanding.
03:34That's a moment for the ages for Adrian Moronke, an eagle at the 17th hole.
03:42At the 17th.
03:54It's Adrian, the trailblazer at the Horizon Irish Open.
03:58The DP World Tour has its first ever Polish winner.
04:04It's a relief.
04:05I've been close a couple of times this year, so to finally get the trophy, it's just an
04:10amazing, amazing feeling.
04:11And I'm super happy and proud of myself.
04:15It means a lot.
04:16As I said before, that's one of my roles, to just grow the game in Poland, because it's
04:21still quite small.
04:22But hopefully this will help a lot.
04:25So I'll just keep going.
04:27And yeah, hopefully there will be a lot of new people to the game in Poland.
04:34Then after the round, also people cheered for him.
04:37People were coming, asking for pictures, congratulating him all the time.
04:41It's like a national sport.
04:44I wish Poland one day will be like that.
04:51Hopefully with Adrian's win, we will have more interest in golf and people will start
04:56playing golf from a young age, because this is what we are missing.
05:01So this is what we want, to encourage people, young people, to play golf.
