Rob R burkdale today just uh how’s how’s your day been just tell us about R burdale course it’s been it’s been beautiful so far last time I played burkdale was in a howling Gale freezing cold loads of rain so got to enjoy the course a bit more um it’s a tricky
Course loads of bunkers to avoid off the tea but one of the harder open venues as well and they they’ve just announced this Haven there as another open venue but it’s been brilliant I’ve never played with Mark James before so that’s a first I obviously played with FIS um before and um
Meal but we’re having a good day I think um fantastic well just just give people a little bit of background the tours maybe you’ve played on and uh a couple of your wins a couple of well with two wins on the European tour one in um my
First one in Italian Open which was in 2011 which took me 10 years to to win which I started to think at some one point that it was never going to happen but I won that one and then shortly after that I had the sort of dream dream
Scenario playing with Tiger Woods and managed to to win in Abu Dhabi so that was uh pretty cool uh was a long time ago and haven’t won since so got to try and win while on here I talking W you joined the EPT what made what made you
Join the EP it was meeting fisel at the actual British par three Championship earlier last year um he told me the list of courses that he planned to get on his tour and um it’s it’s a it’s a great lineup of courses I haven’t been able to
Play all of them this year but there’s there’s lots that I would like to play and hopefully will play uh and you there’s a really good standard of players there’s loads of pros and loads of really good amateur so um it’s slightly different different than playing a a proam format where you
You’ve got a whole mixture of handicaps these are all really really good players so you’re all playing your own game and all knuckling down trying to be each other so it’s a it’s a really good idea and just lastly You’ recommend it to uh any amate to join yeah any serious
Golfer that wants to uh travel around and play some cool courses meet some nice people play with some pros and have to have a chance to say anything they beat them in tournament um that’s it I think that’s a good opportunity for some so I’m sure there’s many that are that
Are looking for something like to playing
