00:00How aware are you of what you need to achieve this week, or is it that you just don't want that to...
00:06Yeah, obviously I know what needs to be done, but at the same time not really paying any attention to it.
00:12I'm on a bit of a mission this week to do something a bit different, and that's just do my own thing and not pay any attention to it.
00:20I felt like, if I'm totally honest, that's what's gotten in the way this season, is trying a bit too hard to force a result.
00:27With the points breakdown being so top-heavy, you need those big weeks.
00:34When you get yourself in contention, it's difficult not to think about it.
00:39So just doing my own thing, that's the challenge for me tomorrow.
00:44As you've said, you've got the family with you this week.
00:46It must be huge to be able to switch off from the golf to then focus on them.
00:51Yeah, absolutely, and what a great place for them to come.
00:53The little guy's loving it. He's been on the beach, he was out here watching me hit a few putts the other day.
00:59It is cool. It's busy, there's a lot going on, and it's not as easy as just getting out of the house when you need to.
01:06But it's awesome to have them here this week and share this experience with them.
01:11You've said in the past to break that barrier and get to the DP World Tour, and you've always been between the two.
01:18To solidly get there, is that at the back of your mind as well?
01:23Yeah, I was waiting to see how you were going to phrase that.
01:25I've been on the fringes for a while, and I think it's all frustrating,
01:33but at the same time, I think it will put me in good stead when I do break through to that next leap up.
01:39It's not far away, really. There's so many of us trying to get through this.
01:45For me as well, it's a little bit of an advantage, I think, having a little bit of experience playing some events,
01:53not coming cold turkey through Challenge Tour, and you don't know what to expect.
01:58There's pros and cons to it all. Kit reminded me that I've been a pro 15 years, which is quite a scary thought,
02:04how fast time is just flying by. But obviously, I can't wait to kick on and get out there.
