Maroy the 2024 hero Dubai Desert Classic champion and the first man since Steven Galler to go backto back in the Desert Classic as [Applause] well second last week he has gone one better who his favorite tournament it’s a third Rox series title let us hear from our champion talking to Tim Rory many congratulations you’ve successfully defended the hero Dubai Desert Classic and become the first man in his 35e history to win four times how

Special is this moment yeah it’s really cool um I you know I didn’t really think about that during the uh the the course of the round um you know it was a really tricky day it was hard to to get a close and make a ton of birdies and um you

Know the pivotal point for me I feel came on the eth and the ninth pole making two threes there uh that sort of set me up to to sort of try and control it on the way in and um you know I made that one you know one blunder on 13 and

And made Boogie there but I felt like I steadied the ship well over the last few holes and um yeah it was it was one of those days where you know there wasn’t a ton of fireworks just because the course was so difficult but I held on as best

As I could and uh you know thankfully no one around the um the top of the leaderboard made a made much of a run came into the weekend on three underpar 10 behind the leaders shot 11 underpar over the weekend to win this thing where does that rank in your greatest ever

Comebacks yeah so I I thought the way the golf course was trending um I thought 267s would would really have a chance so um you know obviously the the 63 yesterday put me in a great position but yeah I thought you know on Friday night I thought 10 under for the weekend

I’ you know I’d have a really good chance to win I shot 11 and ended up winning by one so uh play played the game long enough notus sort of know how these things are going to go and uh you know thankfully I played the golf I

Needed to uh and just you know incredible to to get my fourth win here at the Emirates two behind at the start of the day four ahead at one point with six holes to play then Adrien makes a couple of birdies you make a bogey it’s very tight what’s going through your

Mind at that stage then I thought just steady the ship I knew you know I didn’t birdy 10an uh and I didn’t you know I didn’t even par 13 you know those are the two birdie holes on the on the at the start of the back nine so I just

Thought I’d steady the ship if if I could make um I felt like if I could make par on 14 15 and 16 I wasn’t going to lose much ground then uh and then obviously I had two chances on the last two holes ended up didn’t need to didn’t

Need to birdy one of them but um you know my game plan was for those last five get through those first three and even par and then take my chances at the last two second and first in your first two starts of this year what sort of

Platform does that give you to build towards major season which is obviously always your major Focus yeah um yeah it’s a it’s a great start to the season um you know I started well last year with the win here uh I was a little more in dramatic Fashion on the last screen

Compared to that there but um it’s a great it’s a great platform to build from um I know I’m playing good golf there’s still a couple of Misses off the tea left you know one got me on 18 um last week you know I missed I missed a

T-shot left on 13 today which sort of cost me a shot and then one on 16 as well um which nearly cost me a shot I made a good par there so couple little things still to work on but um you know these weeks are great you you learn a

Ton from them um and obviously great to get the competition and and come out on top as well Rory many many congratulations well play cheers thank you
