Quick Quotes

.

Q. Obviously an amazing round today. How are you feeling now that you've come in?

DHRUV SHEORAN: Early on I was pretty nervous, but after the first tee shot, again, sticking to the process. After each shot, telling myself, like, stay in the moment, that kind of helped me get through the round.

Q. When you say staying in the moment, how difficult is that on your home venue with the fans around you?

DHRUV SHEORAN: Once you tell yourself that, okay, this is a normal shot which you have hit many times in practice, it's the same shot, just don't feel the external things that come with the tournament. I kept telling myself that, and that kind of helped me.

Q. In terms of the course, obviously off the tee accuracy is so important. What sort of tactics were you looking at yourself today?

DHRUV SHEORAN: After the practice round, me and my coach figured out that a lot of knuckle shots I needed for this course. You don't need to put it too high in the air. Just keep it down, like flighted shots, and that should be good enough.

Q. And that suits your game?

DHRUV SHEORAN: Yes.

Q. With such a big tournament this week with amazing names, how does it feel to be high up on the leaderboard after round one?

DHRUV SHEORAN: It's something I have dreamt a lot of times, watching Rory, Tommy on TV and thinking one day that I want to be playing next to them. It's a dream come true in a way. I couldn't sleep at night thinking that I'm going to be planing alongside them, so it's really surreal to be playing here.
