As he prepares to debut his category 10a, a medical exemption which will offer him nine tournaments in 2025 to score the approximately 205 points that he missed last year to keep his card (the equivalent of a top 5 this week, or a 2nd place in a poorly resourced tournament), the Basque does not focus so much on performance as on rediscovering the taste for the game: “Last week my caddy called me and asked me what I wanted to do this week. I replied: “Laughing, that’s all.” I just want to enjoy playing golf. Even if I play badly, there are bound to be good things. It’s up to me to have the right mindset to have fun throughout the week”he continues.
Associated during the first two rounds on the Majlis Course to English Nathan Kendiy and the South African Robin WilliamsMichaël Lorenzo Vera insists on the absence of a result objective when returning to the European elite, which he has been with since 2008. “ I know what's going to happen: I can already say that I'm not going to win this tournament… even if I hope I'm wrong! My competitive side is a little rusty, but my mindset is good. I'm just here to play, not to do amazing things. I know I need to score points, but when you focus too much on the result… you know how it goes. I simply want to find pleasure in doing my job again”he concludes with our British colleague. This new start in an already twenty-year-long career will be given this Thursday at 7:05 a.m. (4:05 a.m. in France) from tee No. 10. Wow, Mike!
