3 IRISH OPENJuly 28, 2010Peter McEneryKILLARNEY, IRELAND MICHAEL GIBBONS: A very special press conference today, young Peter is here on behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and we would like to welcome him. Peter, welcome. PETER McENERY: Thanks. MICHAEL GIBBONS: You all right. PETER McENERY: Yeah. MICHAEL GIBBONS: Excellent. Maybe just start us off by explaining your wish and how your day has gone today. PETER McENERY: My wish, I asked, first for Pádraig Harrington, and I got clubs and I played with Pádraig Harrington, and just going everywhere with passes. MICHAEL GIBBONS: What kind of clubs did you get? PETER McENERY: TaylorMade, PING and Titleist. MICHAEL GIBBONS: Is that all right? PETER McENERY: Yeah. MICHAEL GIBBONS: You have better clubs than Pádraig Harrington. Thanks very much. Q. Were you nervous or did you enjoy it? PETER McENERY: I was nervous teeing off on the first but after we got that over with, I was grand. Q. Did you give Pádraig any tips? PETER McENERY: No, I didn't. Q. How old are you? PETER McENERY: 14. Q. Did you beat him? PETER McENERY: No. But I halved a hole with him. Q. Tell us about yourself and do you play much golf? PETER McENERY: Yeah, I play a lot of golf. I'm down here every day nearly practising. I'll be chipping some days. Yeah, I go off to the driving range and I play rounds with my friends. Q. So you're from Killarney? PETER McENERY: Yeah, I'm from Killarney. I live about five minutes away from here. Q. What's your handicap? PETER McENERY: 24. Q. How do you play today? PETER McENERY: Well, I played well. Q. What did Pádraig say to you along the way? Did he give you any tips? PETER McENERY: No, he didn't give me any tips, no. Q. Didn't need to give you any tips. PETER McENERY: No. (Laughter). Q. How did you score today? PETER McENERY: I scored well. I had a double-bogey on the first but it was unlucky. I bogeyed the second, but I parred the third. Q. Did you have a bet with him? PETER McENERY: A chipping, a Euro to take him on in chipping some day. Q. Do you fancy your chances? PETER McENERY: I don't know. If I chip the way I did today, I have a chance, yeah. Q. What's been the highlight of the day so far? PETER McENERY: Just walking the fairway talking to Pádraig. And watching my dad carry my bag (laughter). Q. What's your dad's name? PETER McENERY: John. Q. Is he a good caddie? PETER McENERY: Yeah, he was. Q. I'm presuming Pádraig is your favourite player; what do you like most about him? PETER McENERY: I don't know really. He can be very good to watch but sometimes he has his mistakes. But everyone's the same, really. Q. Did you give him any tips? PETER McENERY: No, I didn't. No. Q. What do you think was your best shot of the day? PETER McENERY: My chip on to the third green. I almost holed it. Q. From how far away were you? Were you just off the green? PETER McENERY: About 15 yards. MICHAEL GIBBONS: I think you have a good chance against Pádraig. Thank you very much for joining us. Well done. Q. Anyone you would like to thank? PETER McENERY: David Parks from The European Tour, Make-A-Wish and Cathy at Make-A-Wish and my parents and David Keating, the professional in Killarney for giving lessons. MICHAEL GIBBONS: And Pádraig, maybe? PETER McENERY: And Pádraig. (Laughter). Q. What hole did you halve? PETER McENERY: The third. MICHAEL GIBBONS: Well done, Peter. Thanks very much for joining us.
