'Never say never'

But when asked what the future may hold once he officially hangs up the boots for good, the 28-year-old refused to rule out becoming a professional footballer - however he admitted that he would require more practice to be on par with golfs elite. "I think that’s a long way away, but never say never," he said, as per the Independent. "I’m way off where the pros are at the moment. "I know that for sure. I’m just concentrating on football. Golf is a great hobby to have to get away from football."
