Jon Rahm is looking to make it third time lucky at the BMW PGA Championship as he goes in search of a record-extending sixth Rolex Series victory at Wentworth Club.
The Spaniard finished three shots behind Danny Willett as he came second on his tournament debut in 2019 and was second again last year, one behind Shane Lowry despite a stunning closing 62.
He now enters a key part of the season in Europe, with this week's event coming before the Ryder Cup and the defence of his ACCIONA Open de España title over the next month.
Good finishes here and in his homeland could see Rahm close the gap on Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex leader Rory McIlroy and he is eager to get on a roll towards the end of the campaign.
"Hopefully I can get a win here and get a little closer," he said. "Obviously I would like to win the Race to Dubai again.
"When it comes to the golf course, we always hear, 'how does my game or your game or one's game suit a golf course?'. I think that's the wrong way of looking at it. As a player, it's my job to adjust to the golf course.
"So it's how good a job can I do myself to play my best golf here? I've done a good job in the past.
"It obviously favours ball-striking, especially when we play this where it's a little bit firmer. You have to attack the greens from the fairway and obviously the farther you hit it, the better chance you're going to have as well.
"I've done a good job of adapting myself. Maybe last year I did a good job on last ten holes and hopefully I can start playing good golf on the first hole this week.
"It's just an enjoyable course. I think it's a good design, it's a tough test and you have to go out there and play good golf."
In his closing 62 12 months ago, Rahm remarkably picked up nine shots in his last ten holes - including a bogey - as he finished birdie-birdie-eagle to get within one of victory.
"It's about as good a stretch of ten holes as I've ever had in my life," he said.
"The way I finished when I needed to: birdieing 16, 17 and eagling 18 was something I was really proud of and something that started the good run I went on afterwards.
"It's really high up there. It's always difficult to rank (rounds) but I would say it has to be in the top five."
