Don’t worry about my ability to finish

THE 12 months have really flown by and here we are preparing for another Smurfit European Open.

Unfortunately, I am missing out on today's pro-am over the new South Course because of prior commitments but I look forward to playing it soon. I have heard good reports of a course set to stage the European Open next year.

For now, though, I have my sights set on winning this week and make up for last year's disappointment when I very nearly caught Michael Campbell coming down the stretch.
