Rory McIlroy looks ahead to the Scottish Open at Royal Aberdeen.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English): Rory McIlroy, Northern Irish golfer:

"Yeah, I haven't been here for a while. I think the biggest thing for me was, you know, coming back to the Scottish Open and it being on a true links course, I think was... And also seeing what Phil Mickelson did last year, you know, winning the Scottish Open and then going on to win his first Open Championship in Muirfield, sort of hit home with me that it mightn't be a bad idea to come back and play here. You know, the course here at Royal Aberdeen looks like it's going to be a really tough test this week, which should bode well and prepare us well for next week (the Open Championship) at Hoylake."
