"I'm really happy actually because I turned pro in 2019, played the Walker Cup and got a couple of exemptions over there. I was scheduled to go to the Hero Indian Open and COVID happened and it kept me kind of in the US I had conditional status on the Korn Ferry Tour and I haven't really been able to play over there since. It's been a while, but hopefully this gets me into some of the Signature Events back in the UK that I can go and play in front of a home crowd. That would be really nice."
