Tommy Fleetwood is raring to get back to action as he prepares to tee it up at this week's Omega European Masters.
The Englishman is enjoying a stunning season in 2017 so far, claming two wins and to sit atop the Race to Dubai Rankings presented by Rolex and at 16th in the Official World Golf Ranking.
He arrives at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club after a three-week break and does not feel there is a better place to get back to work.
"It's a great place to come back," he said. "I feel good, I had a couple of weeks hardly doing much and then started practising a bit last week, I played a couple of times and I'm getting back into it.
"I enjoy coming to work all the time and when you wake up in the morning it's the most beautiful place. It's just somewhere that you appreciate where you are when you're here. There's very few places like that.
"It's been great. I'm enjoying being back, I feel like I'm hitting it quite good. Three weeks off is not that long a time but in terms of how much time we get off a year, it is. We'll see how it goes.
"It's never physical fitness that gets to anybody but it's mental tiredness playing week in, week out so it's nice when you can turn up to tournaments feeling as fresh as you can after a rest."
The mountain setting in Crans Montana is arguably the most beautiful backdrop of the European Tour season but can also provide a devilishly tough test for even the world's best.
Fleetwood has two top tens in five appearances here but admits the course can always get the better of you if you are not mentally switched on.
"You can get on a run and not think about it much," he said. "You can shoot a good score and feel like you've played well but you can actually play the same and shoot ten shots worse just by the odd break, or you get too carried away going for a pin and you end up 15 feet away from the hole in a horrible lie and you make bogey from nowhere. It does that to you, the course.
"You have a lot of short irons in but you can't really go for pins. It's the ultimate test of patience and it puts a lot of emphasis on where you're positioning your golf ball.
"It's a great course, a great test, I've enjoyed my time playing here, I've had good weeks and the odd dodgy one where the course has got the better of me but every time you play it, it's always enjoyable."
