now you mentioned the Open Championship
you won obviously in 2010 and um lost in
a playoff again in in 2015 at St Andrews
what about St Andrews and why do you
play so well
there I know I mean obviously love love
the golf course love the whole aura
about s Andrews especially with the Open
Championship we played so many
tournaments there with the Danny links
um being European tour for so long I
mean I played the every single year done
you so um I think it’s probably the only
golf course that you could well I feel
like I can rock up without a practice
round I’ll be okay you know knowing the
golf course um that well but um I don’t
know I mean St and Open Championship St
Andrews is just something special you
drive in there the the whole it’s the
whole town that goes into a Open
Championship mode um where wherever you
go it’s Open Championship the streets
that um then vagan the you know that
every everything is just the Open
Championship and I mean the greatest
tournament is to me so going there at
the home of golf and just it sort of
just brings that little bit more out of
me and and really want to perform well
and play well and and just make make
yourself
ready for the week um I can’t wait for
it to go back there again and and um you
know it’s it’s um just just such a
special place um we spoke to Cam last
week and and we asked him what was in
that cleret jug what was in your clar
jug after you won in 2010 I actually did
not drink out of it till December that
year what so I had this thing in my mind
which I was very young but I had this
thing in my mind where um it’s too holy
to drink out of it
so that was until I got to my friends
back in South Africa in December and uh
we had brany and Coke we put some brand
and Coke in there and um we had a great
night um from here so um but yeah it
took me a good five months before having
anything of it I didn’t know that what
we learned from cam is it only holds
like what two pints of beer I thought it
would be much much more productive than
that I mean I didn’t even go into all of
that details so just well I think I
think with his I think with his specific
drink it just is the proportion of
Brandy versus Coke that would determine
how good of a knife you’re not putting
in two points of FR in there they I
promise well I don’t know you are South
Africa
