2026 Dubai Invitational Course Quotes
"I can’t remember hitting so many wedges. I’ve played a lot of golf courses and major championships. US Opens, where the rough is very severe. This rough is as tough or tougher than any place I’ve seen because it’s very thick and consistent throughout. But it’s good. It tests you mentally, to hang in there, just keep fighting and try to do the best you can." Mark O'Meara, 1999
"It’s beyond my wildest dreams that I could ever put two 69s back to back on this course the way it’s set up. I couldn’t sleep on Wednesday. I really thought I was going to shoot 90!" David Howell, 1999
