00:00I'm Marta Biswas.

00:03I am the owner of White Eagle Sport.

00:08White Eagle Sport Company, it's a golf event organizer.

00:12We are organizing the corporate golf events, and we are the sponsor of Adrian Merong.

00:19I'm Polish.

00:20Adrian is Polish as well.

00:22When I picked up golf, it was about seven years ago, I started following Polish players.

00:27We didn't have, so it was only Adrian, who was on a challenge tour that time.

00:33I was still always following him and seeing what he does, where he plays.

00:39About two years ago, he entered finally the European tour, and it became like more easy

00:46to see him even here in UAE.

00:48After talking to him, such a great guy, modest, very down-to-earth, we've decided to support

00:54him, and we proposed him to be one of his sponsors.

01:00So White Eagle Sport became a sponsor of Adrian Merong.

01:04We were always flying just to see him playing, either it was Qatar or here in Dubai, Abu

01:11Dhabi as well.

01:12We supported him in Ras Al Khaimah.

01:14So there were places, even just recently, one month ago, we visited Amsterdam and we

01:19watched Dutch Open.

01:23We were planning actually to see him playing either Irish Open or Scottish Open or the

01:28Open.

01:30We decided to go for the Horizon Irish Open at the DP World Tour, as we had the feeling

01:38that he might win.

01:45We supported Adrian from day one at Mount Juliet.

01:50It was amazing to see him playing.

01:52He's such a great golfer.

01:54During the Horizon Irish Open, we were surprised with how many people support golf there.

02:02Ireland is just filled with golfers, amateur, professional golfers.

02:08Everybody supported Adrian.

02:09I've seen the Irish people, they just love sport.

02:11They love golf, and they will follow everyone who is just a good golfer, who is just playing

02:17good golf.

02:18And they were very fair to the players.

02:23The game feels good.

02:24I love this place.

02:25I just try to enjoy the weekend here.

02:31I've been working on my commitment for every shot the last couple of weeks, and it seems

02:40like it's working pretty well this week.

02:42So I'll just keep doing that and we'll see what happens.

02:49I'm quite excited, just happy with my score so far.

02:54I played really solid again today, and I can't wait for tomorrow for sure.

03:08And it might just keep him moving forward.

03:10A par that will feel maybe a little better than that.

03:14What a time to do it for Adrian Moronke.

03:17He takes the lead with just two holes left to play in the Horizon Irish Open.

03:21Adrian on the hole 16, it was just something which gave a kick to him, I guess, the shot

03:27on the 16th hole.

03:28The reaction of the crowd was just outstanding.

03:34That's a moment for the ages for Adrian Moronke, an eagle at the 17th hole.

03:42At the 17th.

03:54It's Adrian, the trailblazer at the Horizon Irish Open.

03:58The DP World Tour has its first ever Polish winner.

04:04It's a relief.

04:05I've been close a couple of times this year, so to finally get the trophy, it's just an

04:10amazing, amazing feeling.

04:11And I'm super happy and proud of myself.

04:15It means a lot.

04:16As I said before, that's one of my roles, to just grow the game in Poland, because it's

04:21still quite small.

04:22But hopefully this will help a lot.

04:25So I'll just keep going.

04:27And yeah, hopefully there will be a lot of new people to the game in Poland.

04:34Then after the round, also people cheered for him.

04:37People were coming, asking for pictures, congratulating him all the time.

04:41It's like a national sport.

04:44I wish Poland one day will be like that.

04:51Hopefully with Adrian's win, we will have more interest in golf and people will start

04:56playing golf from a young age, because this is what we are missing.

05:01So this is what we want, to encourage people, young people, to play golf.
