Rory McIlroy's FINAL PRACTICE Ahead of The 153rd Open

Rory! Thanks. Thanks, cheers. Put the smoke behind you there, just to keep it behind you. Oh, God. Thank you. Rory! You don't have to worry about it now. No. I'll probably go for, like, just my... You know, I've eaten a lot of good restaurants. Maybe just do, like, my favorite appetizer. You know, my favorite, you know, just sort of... There's this appetizer they do in La Bernardin in New York. It's like this very thinly toasted piece of baguette, very thin slice of foie gras, and then tuna carpaccio on top of it, and just a little bit of olive oil and maybe a few chives. And it is so simple, but it is incredible. That's definitely... But I haven't got... Yeah, that's it. Listen, enjoy the dinner anyway, whatever happens. I will enjoy it for the next 50 years, too. Good. You only meet Prestons in America. You don't meet Prestons anywhere else, right? Oh, I know. No, no. Yeah, punamu. Punamu, right? The green, the green, the green stone. So we got this green stone, and we got the tuna. So he said, you don't have to wear it every day, but you can just wear it once going down Magnolia Lane, and it might get you some luck or whatever. So I actually wore it going down... Yeah, I have it, I keep it with me now, but I wore it down Magnolia Lane every day that week. And then kept it in my doll bag. Yeah, really cool. Yeah. No, yeah, yeah. So the first thing I did was send him a message, and I was like, it worked! Yeah. What's that here like for you? It's comfy, yeah? Well, after nine feet, it's comfy, isn't it? It's got meters of yardage. That's awesome. We're playing golf. It's like this every day, isn't it? Come on. How was the sun coming out? Did you feel pretty amazing? Yeah, it's been lovely so far. I got out early the last couple of days and played a couple of good practice rounds, yet some balls. And then I just, I needed a bit of extra sleep this morning, so I got out a little bit later. Yeah, I mean, it's absolutely amazing. The crowd's here for a practice round on a Wednesday. It's funny, 2019 doesn't really seem like six years ago. It's come around again pretty quick, so I'm excited to have another opportunity here. And it's nice to see the fans all out here. It doesn't really feel like a Wednesday. It feels like a Sunday, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. Yeah, it's amazing. It does feel like I'm under a bit of pressure. I've got a little backbone with Harry for this front nine here, so I have to make a couple of birdies in the last couple of days. Well, you actually still owe me a hundred euros, so don't forget to pay that bill. I will. But, mate, look, all jokes aside, you must be just super relaxed and super happy with how things have been this year, and now a good chance to finish at home as well. Yeah, it would be... Jeez, look, it would be... I mean, how good would it be to book end a major season and win the first one, win the last one? That would be bad. Yeah, it would be pretty nice. It's so nice to be home, so nice to see some familiar faces, and this course is obviously one of the best in the world. And I think as well what makes me so proud is having the rest of the field here and a lot of them coming up to me and being like, you know, that's been really nice too. Well, Matt Oxford doesn't get to go on sling, so he may be getting to go for a while. You know, you've had your successes, you've had your good and poor, so now you switch over to... Yeah, I know. Get my finger out. Good on you, mate. Yes, absolutely. I'll leave that seat to you. Well, there we have it. What a picture. Look over there, some guys. Thank you. Cheers. See you. Thanks. Laurie McElroy, ladies and gentlemen. Sure. Back left. So now it comes out so easy. Sure. You need a hand getting out, you can... Put me there, guys, please. Come on. Don't have to relance, thanks.
