Kjeldsen — who stands at 5’7” tall — was then asked about how it feels standing on tiptoes and trying to rub shoulders with much bigger men on the fairways.

To which he replied said: "I always feel like I've got so much to improve on, and I still feel that.

“I think probably some people feel that I've overachieved.

“But I'm married to Charlotte — I think I've overachieved there as well.

"I think you can't get caught up in all that. We all have limitations or whatever, but the whole thing is about pushing, trying to see how good you can get and nobody's going to stop me in that.

“Doesn't matter if I'm playing guys like 6'4" that hit it 350.

“They're not going to touch my little ball. And that ball and me, it's between the two of us."

Not surprisingly, Kjeldsen says putting is his biggest weapon, adding: "I think generally my short game.

“I think if you look at these two days as well, I think I was driving it really well yesterday.

“I drove it pretty good today, not quite as good as I did yesterday. But I think the ability to get up and down when I really need to.

“I think my wedge game is very strong. I think when my head is in the right place, I make a lot of putts as well.

“So I'd definitely say the short stuff."
