Quick Quotes

Q. You are the youngest in the field; how does it feel to be the youngest and having to look up to these other players, and do you look up to them?

MUNESU CHIMHINI: I'm very excited. It's a very good experience, learning from others. They're some of the best players in the world currently right now, looking at how they manage themselves whilst they're playing golf, and yeah, I do look up to them. I look to them as almost like teachers because you can learn quite a few things whilst playing around them and actually improve your round whilst you're playing with them.

Q. Are you learning a lot from them in practice and on the course?

MUNESU CHIMHINI: Yeah. I mean, they're actually very nice. Grass feels quite good. It does get you a little bit confident when you get on to the first tee.

Q. Is there anything from your age that you can take into this week? Is there some confidence?

MUNESU CHIMHINI: Yeah, there's nothing much for me to worry about because I'm so young. There's not a lot of things going through my head. I'm just playing golf.

Q. There's no scar tissue?

MUNESU CHIMHINI: No.

Q. You've not had any tournaments where you've had a disaster so you can just look forward --

MUNESU CHIMHINI: Yeah, look forward and look for the best, yeah, pretty much.

Q. What do you aspire to achieve in golf?

MUNESU CHIMHINI: I mean, the goal is to be a professional. Hopefully one of the best in the world someday. I mean, that is the aim. Looking at the best players who are here already, you can take them and see what level you can get to and how to get there.

Q. Coming from Zimbabwe, do you have any heroes you up look to?

MUNESU CHIMHINI: Yeah, Scott Vincent now has got back to LIV, so topping the Asian Tour. I'm looking at him now, and it's quite amazing.

Q. Do you have more energy in your youth than some of the older players?

MUNESU CHIMHINI: I'm not too sure about that because I was pretty tired on the 17th and 18th. So I don't know; maybe they have a little bit more, maybe I have a little bit more, but I was still quite tired during the round.
