Pre-tournament press conference with English golfer and reigning PGA champion Aaron Rai ahead of The 154th Open at Royal Birkdale in Southport.
Rai discusses returning to England as a major champion, the pressure of competing in his home Open and the confidence gained from winning the PGA Championship at Aronimink in May. He reflects on receiving a handwritten letter from Jack Nicklaus, the reaction to his major triumph and balancing his new commitments with practice and family life.
He also assesses Royal Birkdale after its rapid change from green and lush to brown, explains why he still uses a 2019 TaylorMade M6 driver, and speaks about his early Open memories, his missed cut at the Genesis Scottish Open and the challenge awaiting him when play begins on Thursday.
