Recalling an appearance in the 2019 edition, the world No 3, said: “My dad and Kevin Kisner, we went out to North Berwick and played and that was really fun.

“You don't often, basically never, would we be going to a golf tournament in the States and get in a day early and want to go play golf somewhere.

“But, being over here, having the opportunity to play a course that obviously none of us would play unless we were here; and we needed to stay awake, it was our first day, so we knew if we laid down on the couch, we were toast.

“We took some trolleys and went out and played 18 holes and went in the pub and had a couple pints after and really enjoyed the whole experience.”
