00:00We've made it to Dubai, the last event of our DP World Tour season.

00:04Can you have dreamt of what this season happened for you?

00:08Yeah, I guess at the start of the year you're just trying to keep your card

00:11and have a good solid year, make some progress from there.

00:14But golf's a funny game, isn't it?

00:16And I've obviously excelled and managed to kind of make my dreams come true really.

00:22Playing this week's incredible.

00:24Obviously I've watched this tournament growing up for a long, long time

00:27and to be here now, play with some of these stars and hopefully become one one day.

00:33You've got your family out there this week as well?

00:35Yeah, family out this week. Obviously, big event.

00:38They come out quite a bit anyway, but an event like this, you can't miss it.

00:42So get out here, good weather, good food and try and enjoy it.

00:46How are you finding the course?

00:48Because a couple of the guys have said it's a bit trickier than previous years,

00:51but obviously it's, well, first time for you.

00:54I wouldn't know because it's the first time I've played it,

00:56which has actually helped me quite in good stead this year a few times.

00:59A couple of times I've heard it's difficult and it's my first time playing and I've just took it as it is.

01:03So, yeah, I'm just trying to take it shot by shot

01:06and learn the kind of difficulties of this course, where to miss it, where not to miss it

01:11and see what I can do.

01:14And obviously we're coming to the end of the season now.

01:16A bit of time off in Dubai after.

01:18Are you thinking about moving here properly?

01:21A few guys do do it on tour, don't they?

01:23Kind of have the second home for a bit.

01:25Yeah, well, after this I'm going to go to America and have a bit of a holiday out there,

01:29Nashville and stuff, so it'll be good fun.

01:31Come back out here and start preparing and practising for the season

01:34and got my eye on a couple of places I would quite like to move to,

01:38but it all depends on scheduling and how many days I can manage to stay out of the UK as well.

01:44So I'm trying to work it out, but I'd love to be here full time and practising.

01:49I like the life out here, it's good.

01:51Yeah, because I know the players, that's why they tend to do it, because of the climate.

01:55Travel.

01:56Yeah, travel, it's kind of playing in the middle of everywhere.

01:58It's kind of ideal really, isn't it?

01:59Travel practice out here is just awesome.

02:02It's just the hub for the European tour, I think.

02:05So it would be perfect for me, to be honest,

02:07but you never know with golf and what's going to happen next,

02:11so I just need to try and keep my head down and keep doing the job

02:14and then I'll try and save up the pennies to get a place, yeah.
