Forrest has not had much sleep over “a surreal 24 hours” as he flew from Madrid to New Dehli for the DP World India Championship.<\/p>\n
Having made his professional bow over a decade ago, he said the victory brought “a lot of validation, relief as well.”<\/p>\n
On the prospect of a Masters debut in April, he explained: “I was there as a spectator in 2019 and it’s just an incredibly special place.<\/p>\n
“To have the opportunity to play hasn’t sunk in yet.”<\/p>\n
Forrest has had experience of The Open in 2013 and 2018, at Muirfield and Carnoustie respectively.<\/p>\n
“Playing a third at St Andrews is going to be incredible,” he added.<\/p>\n
Forrest graduated from the European Challenge Tour to the DP World Tour at the end of the 2018 season along with compatriots Robert MacIntyre and David Law.<\/p>\n
Connor Syme and Scott Jamieson have won titles in the past two years, along with Ryder Cup star MacIntyre.<\/p>\n
“It gives you positive energy when one guy succeeds,” Forrest said on the current strength of Scottish golf.<\/p>\n
“You know they are not much different in terms of ability, it’s just reminding yourself that a win can be round the corner at any point.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Forrest has not had much sleep over “a surreal 24 hours” as he flew from Madrid to New…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":801522,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-801521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=801521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801521\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/801522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=801521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=801521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=801521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
