Tony Finau has been making a song and dance of his Rolex Series debut by going to see the smash hit ABBA musical Mamma Mia ahead of this week's BMW PGA Championship.
The charismatic American has been to England before for The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale but this is his first time at Wentworth Golf Club and he has taken advantage by making the short trip from Surrey to the capital to take in a bit of culture.
The Ryder Cup star will be all business come Thursday as he seeks a first European Tour victory but he has been happy to take a chance on experiencing his surroundings with his wife.
"We went to Mama Mia," he said. "Really energetic and fun show. It was pretty amazing, honestly. It was a two-and-a-half-hour show and I was excited the whole two-and-a-half-hours. I was entertained the whole time. No weary eyes between me and my wife. It was pretty fun.
"I was here for Birkdale in 2017, so that was my first visit to England, so this is my second. But I enjoy visiting different places, and it's been a treat.
"I brought my wife here this week. She's obviously wanted to visit London since she can remember. A lot of movies were made out this way.
"With the Queen and just the royalty that's here, it's all things that she wanted to see firsthand. To bring my wife here is a cool treat for us. We visited London on Monday, went to a show, had a great dinner in town. It's been really cool to be here.
"This is my true first visit to London, not to England, but to London, and it's been quite a treat. You know, we're still pretty early in the week, so it's been pretty fun."
On the course, Finau is delighted to be testing himself against the European Tour's best and believes the layout on the West Course can suit his game.
"I feel like I have a world class game and the way to prove that to yourself is to travel the world and play. I've always felt that way," he said.
"It's a pretty cool thing that we do for a living. I get to travel and I get to play golf courses around the world and compete at the highest level.
"If you're truly a world-class player, I feel like you've got to win all around the world on different types of golf courses and then I get to experience different cultures and travel to different places.
"I've heard nothing but great things about this golf tournament, about the event, about the golf course. The golf course is in great condition and a very American-type golf course, very traditional, and grass that I'm familiar with. So all those things are nice for me, for my first time here."
