Q. Shergo, big week for you, Saudi fans and the Saudi golf. Can you just talk about what it means for you to play in this tournament?
SHERGO AL KURDI: Yeah, it's brilliant. Every year I come here, it's really well run and the most enjoyable tournament of the year really. The conditions they've got it in this year, I've played a couple times, and it's absolutely fantastic.
Obviously the field is an amazing field. So it will be a great week, especially in my home country, to put on the best performance I can.
Q. You've played in other places and now back in Riyadh. What does it mean to have that course change, and what do you like so much about this course?
SHERGO AL KURDI: Yeah, it's fantastic. I think I very much prefer this course because it's a little bit shorter. The defence around the course is a bit smarter. It rewards a lot of smarter golfers. Sort of it can put anyone in the field if they play the right way. I definitely prefer this golf course, but the mix of it is great.
The golf courses they put in here, especially recently, is fantastic.
Q. There's a big WOW Festival going on this week, four concerts. What does it mean for golf and the fans?
SHERGO AL KURDI: I was saying as well it's fantastic. I was saying in any country really golf -- not everyone's going to know golf. To sort of get it to be a little more busy here and a bit more popular, you want people, more of the socializing aspect is better for them.
They can come in only for the concerts and have a good time and enjoy themselves. It's a brilliant idea. What they're doing is fantastic. I'm probably going to go myself.
