It was good. A brilliant experience for me. To be out there with one of the best in the world for me, it was brilliant. I was pretty nervous. I couldn't really feel my arms and legs. I didn't really hit any balls on the range beforehand. Yeah, I was feeling it. But it got better. It got better as the round went on.Andy Murray said (via Daily Express)
In his retirement from tennis, three-time Major winner Murray will be looking forward to growing his golf skills after making two impressive sand saves.
