Victor Dubuisson appeared very relaxed and rather touching yesterday during his conference at the Golf National in a rather unusual context. Not being particularly a fan of exercise, the Frenchman had found a parade by inviting 24 children aged 8 to 14 from the local club. The French n ° 1 has taken all the time to answer the many questions of children by displaying a beaming smile.

The Ryder Cup winner revealed himself a little more by tackling more intimate subjects, such as his earliest memories as a golfer and the passion for swing transmitted by his grandfather who had given him his first driver with which he played for many years. months before getting his first club streak.

The route where the pressure is greatest

The French Open remains for Victor Dubuisson one of the biggest challenges after the Ryder Cup: "The French Open is our 5th Major" "I don't have more pressure, there can't be more here than at the Ryder Cup. But it's our national Open, all eyes are on us and we all want to do well, which adds an additional difficulty. "

The National Golf is the most difficult and the most demanding.

The roughs are less thick, but I don't think it's any less difficult this year the last winner did not miss a fairway. “This is the course I dread the most. Apart from the Major courses which are very difficult, the National Golf is for me the most difficult and the most demanding. "
"It was less hot during the reconnaissance than this afternoon. With the heat, it's hard to stay focused on the length. It will be difficult to manage. "

Change of Shopping Cart

The latter joined another French golfer, Alexander Levy. "Tom Ayling was a great caddy, he left me" said Victor Dubuisson.  "This week, I would be caddeyé by a very close friend, he was by my side last week in Munich where I played rather well, it was a long time since I had not made a correct result".

Why the presence of children

“I wanted to invite these kids because I would have loved it when I was a kid. (A child who asks him what should I do to play with you) You have to be my number and when you come down south you call me. I invite you all to my account, (laughs). "
