Intro:

Stephen Gallacher and Sergio Garcia look ahead to the Dubai Desert Classic in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Stephen Gallacher, two-time defending champion:

"I Wish I really knew, so I could take it to other places, but I think it's just... I'm really familiar with the place. I come here on holiday and you know, I just love playing the golf course, so when you're in a happy state of mind, generally you play well."

SOUNDBITE (English) Stephen Gallacher, two-time defending champion:

"I think when you play well round a course, you sort of get good feelings, you can recall good shots, you can recall good putts you've holed. You can draw on that, you know, for inspiration if you're maybe in a lull and you know, it's a course I've done some outrageous stuff on, like ten under for the last ten (holes), and you know, 62s, 63s, so... these things only happen a handful of times in your career and it would be nice to have another one this week."

SOUNDBITE (English) Sergio Garcia:

"Yeah, I would say so. I think that it's nice to kind of get going. Obviously, last week, other than nine holes, it felt fairly good and you know, I'm just looking forward to getting better this week, playing nicely and hopefully be up there on Sunday and give myself a shot at winning here would be nice."
