I’ve never felt this weird combo of pure joy and nervousness at the same time. Everyone I met there was on cloud 9 too... you could taste the joy in the air.

Almost in the zone immediately, I hit every shot my caddie asked of me and ended up posting a 75. A career best for me at that time.

I ended the day having more Guinness with a big group of strangers and quickly realized that the city of St. Andrews is my fav place on earth.
