Paul Casey is looking to continue his love affair with Wentworth Golf Club as he looks for a first Rolex Series victory at this week's BMW PGA Championship.
The Englishman won this event in 2009, three years after he won the World Match Play on the West Course after a thumping 10&8 victory over Shaun Micheel in the final.
The BMW PGA Championship is the fourth Rolex Series event of the season after moving from May to September in the calendar, but Casey's 2006 victory came in the autumn, meaning the change in conditions will be no problem for the Ryder Cup star.
The World Number 13 is from nearby Weybridge and a combination of local knowledge and fine form after his recent victory in Hamburg should make him a force to be reckoned with this week.
"Great memories," he said. "This was my first exposure to professional golf watching greats like Seve hit shots out of the trees and play this great golf course.
"It's always had fond memories, I grew up only 20 minutes from here. That feeling of being victorious around a course I loved and had strong affections for, nothing felt better at the time.
"It does feel like, in a weird way, a lifetime ago. I remember the birdie-birdie finish to beat Ross Fisher by one, bless him.
"It was one of the biggest victories and still is in my career because this is where I used to come and watch golf, and the greats like Seve and Faldo and Woosie and all these guys play around this golf course, which was the spark which really sort of lit the fire.
"I wanted to play professional golf and do what those guys are doing. To do so well on a course that I knew and loved was a dream come true. I still pinch myself. I have two titles here.
"Obviously the World Match Play was another one of those. I have two clubs on display in the great clubhouse behind us which I'm very proud of. It's nice to be able to add to the fabric of golf and get your name etched on trophies.
"I'd love another one. To have a decade between a couple of titles would be special and I guess there's no reason why I can't. Got an amazing field this week, but if I keep playing the golf I'm playing, I'll give myself a chance.
"This is our flagship event. BMW are one of the greatest sponsors in golf, not just on the European Tour. This is a Rolex Series Event. This is always a big week."
