The 22-year-old admits a dream come true.
He said: “I will never forget playing as a 19-year-old amateur.
“It gave me a real taste of the big time and made me even more determined to become a professional. So to be able to return to the Dunhill three years on, as a pro, is a dream come true.
“I was delighted with how my first tournament went in Portugal last week and I hope I can do as well at St Andrews.
“It’s the place everyone wants to do well.”
