"You’re going to have a lot of either bump-and-run chips, chips, or quite a bit of slow putts coming up the hills.

"It’s an unbelievable golf course," added the 43 year-old golf star.

"Royal County Down is the furthest north I have ever been - so this is new to me."

"Normally, I take a Wednesday so tomorrow [Wednesday] I will take a look around a little bit and see a few things."
