The pressure's on us as far as I'm concerned. We have to play well for five days. If we don't play well, for the first time in nearly 20 years, we've lost the Ashes. Hopefully that'll make us respond and the guys will soak it up and see it as a challenge rather than fear it.

When I took it over, the challenge was that the play was too long, I was asked to shorten the show. That's not an easy thing to do when people have been doing it for 50 years.

In fact, a lot of the revisions we've made have been at the suggestion of the people who are involved in the play.

We went 6-6 against those 12 teams, so we need to be better than that. That's the challenge before the players. We just had a good year.

We're certainly going to challenge the charges in court.

Without a doubt we have been handed as extreme a challenge of rebuilding on the Gulf Coast as imaginable. But Mississippi is a great state with great people, and already we're welcoming golf, gaming and other tourists to the rest of the state. This will help the state and the state in turn will be better equipped to help the Gulf Coast and its residents affected by Katrina the more visitors we host. So the best thing we can and will do is to keep keeping on. We want visitors to come see why Mississippi is a special place and judge for themselves why Mississippi is considered a rising star of the golf-and-gaming world.
