Q. Ali, congratulations. You are the champion of the inaugural Dubai Invitational. How does it feel?
ALI FATOURECHI: I mean, it's amazing. It's amazing. Of course, it came off to a card-off, we tied, and fortunately we -- Tommy really came in.
Q. Speaking of Tommy, he was one of your playing partners. You had a different professional every single day. What's been the real highlight with playing with these world-class golfers every day?
ALI FATOURECHI: I mean, you just realise they play a different game. They're so good to watch. It makes you feel so comfortable as an amateur. You get to -- you're so freed up because they're putting for birdie pretty much all the time. So it's great.
Q. It's a slightly different atmosphere compared to normal with all the cameras going on. How did you handle that?
ALI FATOURECHI: You know, a little bit of Casamigos did the job (chuckling). But, no, just sitting there talking with the guys and watching how calm they are sort of eases you as well. So rode off their tails the whole time.
Q. I imagine you secured your spot for next year. So once again, congratulations.
ALI FATOURECHI: I appreciate it. Thank you so much.
