It’s really a major time for Shiv

“I’m playing the best players and it’s an opportunity to showcase what I have and show that I can stack up against the best,” said the 24-year-old Delhi golfer.

“One of my goals this week is to play four rounds. If I play well, a lot can happen. It’ll be nice to be somewhere in contention,” said Kapur, who joins compatriots Gaurav Ghei, Arjun Atwal and Jyoti Randhawa as the only Indians to play at the Open.

“I have watched the Open all my life on TV and I don’t think I will realise that it is all about until I step onto the first tee,” Kapur gushed. Kapur made it to the Open after finished third — winning a play-off — at the international final qualifiers in Singapore in April.
