Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Graeme McDowell:

"I think myself and Rory, there's no doubt our personal issues have been well documented the last couple of years... and I believe we've both come out of that, come out the other end of that probably better friends than we were going into it. So, our personal issues are not a problem this weekend, so that's a fact. I think tactically, Rory and I's golf dynamic has changed significantly from the first time we ever played together back in 09 or, at the Seve Trophy whenever it was when perhaps the older brother, kind of younger brother sort of... that leadership role that I had with him, that's changed. He's the world's number one player, he's a four-time major champion. The dynamic between him and I has changed forever. I mean he would now be the leader of the two of us and perhaps that dynamic doesn't work as well as it did in the past. Perhaps I'm a kind of guy who needs that leadership role a little bit, who needs to feel like he is at least on a level with the guy he's playing with."
