I'm ready for the Open. How about you?
Monday
Monday at the Open is ticket allocation day.
That's a busy day.
Normally everybody wants a ticket.
Everybody becomes your friend.
You haven't seen them for a year, but yes they want a ticket.
So you go and register.
You can go and get your little silver badge.
Put it on your hat, get your pack.
Drop your stuff off in your locker.
Then it's my practice time.
I generally look at my outfits
what I want to wear on Sunday and work it back that way.
I want to look good every time I go on the golf course.
I don't like being scripted,
what to wear on certain days.
In fact I don't like being told what to do generally.
Doesn't go down very well.
I just want to be me, I want to be normal, I want to be my own personality.
I want to be comfortable with that.
I related to Seve. Seve always dressed impeccably well.
Payne Stewart.
I'd turn on the TV each week to see what different colours he'd be wearing.
Great shoes, great colours.
I don't have a colour. I don't have a tiger red.
Weather being in Scotland,
there's a strong possibility
that Tartan may be the main factor of the week.
Muirfield is unique in a way where it's not 9 out, 9 straight back in.
So you've got one wind direction out, and one wind direction back in.
A number of the holes, they play opposite winds.
There are probably only 3 consecutive holes in a certain direction.
And that's unique for links golf, there's not that many links golf courses that are designed in that way.
I love links golf, I love the shot making
whether you've got to hold it up left to right into a wind
or hold it up right to left into a wind.
I like hitting the low drive in, chip and run shot from 190 yards out with 2 irons
even 7 irons from 110 yards.
It's a fearless golf course
in terms of the way links golf plays.
You really do have to be on your game.
The fans at the Open Championship
are the best fans in the world, very knowledgeable.
You get a great round of applause when it's a 30mph wind and you hit a shot to 30 feet.
They are a very educated set of fans that we get.
They are really nice to play in front of.
