Maybe Augusta can see what he’s doing on the global stage and extend an invitation too.”

Before the tournament ended, he also expressed his wish to compete in the PGA Championship and finish in the top 100 in the world rankings. “Here I am trying to hopefully win or maybe finish second this week and see if I can break that top 100 and get into the PGA.
