Speaking to IrishCentral from Scotland, Moore said that although his impersonation roll of the tongue, this wasn’t always the case, and some required putting in long hours of practice.

‘Tiger Woods was a very difficult one to crack. At one point I was locking myself into my bedroom and just listening to him on the loop. It took about four days before I was happy with it!’
