Wilson will arrive at Royal Birkdale on the weekend and get the prospect to practise on the course forward of Monday’s qualifier when he’ll play it in full event situations in a tantalising glimpse of what awaits.
The 32-year-old is making an attempt to safe his spot in The Open for the second time, having performed at Royal Portrush in 2019 when he completed in a creditable thirty second place.
“That was my first yr as a professional, I had my greatest buddy on the bag and I used to be much more naive,” he recalled.
“I used to be taking part in some nice stuff and it was a fantastic week. Now after being professional for a number of years, you are carrying extra expectations. That may be each a blessing and a curse.”
After a disappointing 2025, Wilson dropped down from the DP World Tour to the HotelPlanner Tour, however life on Europe’s second-tier circuit has been a battle for a participant at the moment ranked 688th on the planet.
He’s languishing in 112th, so successful this qualifier could be an enormous fillip for his yr.
In addition to the near-miss for The Open, he misplaced in a play-off at Walton Heath in US Open Ultimate Qualifying in Might, so he hopes his luck can change.
“Golf is sort of fickle and your season can flip within the area of some holes,” he stated.
“My coach (John Harrison) goes to caddie for me on Monday and I wish to give attention to taking one thing optimistic from the day.
“If I end second however play effectively, I can show to myself that I can compete on a Championship golf course.”
