'What about me?!' - Peake collecting Mickelson memorabilia

  • Published

Australian golfer Ryan Peake, who caught up with BBC Sport NI's Matt Gault earlier this week, has been reflecting on his first major appearance at The Open and playing alongside Phil Mickelson.

The 31-year-old carded a six-over-par 77 on his opening round and admitted to being slightly in awe of his six-time major champion playing partner.

"I grabbed his putter off him a few times and had a little feel of it! That's the OG - the one from the Masters," Peake said.

"His caddy was giving out golf balls as he walked off the tee and I yelled, 'What about me?!' He had a laugh and thought I was being sarcastic, but he said was I serious and I said, 'deadly serious' and said could he sign a glove as well!"
