Erik van Rooyen

Dream four-ball? My dad, brother and grandad.

Best moment in golf? Playing at The Open for the first time.

One Major or ten European Tour titles? Ten titles.

Best swing tip in a sentence or less? Swing in rhythm, no matter how hard you are trying to hit it.

You can only play one course for the rest of your life...

Carnoustie. I played my first Open there. I love the layout and the challenge it poses.

Favourite app on your phone?

It’s a close one between Whatsapp and Instagram.

If you could have one career mulligan... 2019 Turkish Open. I was in a six-man play-off and hit my tee shot on the first extra hole straight into a bush.

Which three players do you take with you on a night out? David Lipsky, Julian Suri and Miguel Angel Jimenez.

What would you be doing if you weren’t a golfer?

A musician. I’ve played guitar since I was 14. I love rock and roll, anything from The Beatles to Foo Fighters – that’s the type of music I’d love to make.

One surprising thing people might not know about you? I enjoy gardening.
