At 2:05 in the morning in Tallinn, Estoni, Richard Teder writes that he would be happy to speak, and this is welcome, because with Richard Teder, he has much to talk happily after his two weeks, made the golf Majors first from Ely-Fairway.
But you also ask yourself:
What is in the name of Clare’s container Richard TederNew Golf superstar, doing until 2:05 pm?
“Yes, you Texmm there at 2:05,” he says Thursday over the phone, at somewhat reasonable time of 5:30 in the afternoon.
What were you doing that late?
“Good question.”
Understandably, part of this is due to Tuesday’s work at West Lancashire Golf Club in England, where Teder’s 85-Oborres shot in the third hole of a play off three-for the left side of the cup, and the celebration developed. Teder was almost struck by his body, January Toomesso. Teder called his mother, Terje, who led her to Spain, so she could play away from the Estonian cold. Teder and his gang also tried around the city that night before they were placed in a kebab union and a comfort shop.
But indeed, Terder was burning both ends of the golf club because this is just who is haired, glasses, 20-year-old amateur, a loving baby boy, dear to the driver, who taught me most suddenly careful golf
His English, as you will read, is also the Gen Z version, man. The author’s words, meanwhile, are in Italy.
Moments like this determine the final qualification.

Richard Teder’s Hole-out in the video above? A penalty followed. Tuesday may have been different. No minced iron. Maybe just hand shakes. But in the 36th hole of the 36-hole qualifiers, needing what turned out to be just a noise to make the driver open, teder drawn.
“I’m me, obviously.”
What does that mean?
“Well, I’m a very aggressive guy on the course, so this is something I would do. And, usually, she pays quite well, but it happened not to pay that time. But still, if I didn’t hit the driver there, it wouldn’t be so delightful for a story.”
I like this.
“So I don’t regret anything.”
And far his goal went – to the right. Teder said this was the rescue area. There was also water to the right, but he said he could not hold it. He would either find his ball, or would receive a penalty decline.
“Even though I hit him away, I still can’t keep it,” Teder said. “And then I hit a little thin cut somewhat. It just ended up straight into the water. And then the boys I was playing with also said it’s in the water. So we walked down the road, and then because I was signaled I hit the right with my hand in my head box, people started looking to the right over the water. Harold Varner (Who was playing with Teder), he also said that. I mean, it clearly entered the water. Like, you can’t see a spraying.
“Refs told us that if you don’t see a spraying, you have to go back. But you can’t see a spray because it’s so far and there are bushes around the water. So it was impossible to see a spray. And then no one really saw the ground in the rough or heard that ground in the rough. And there was standing there.
What were you thinking about that car again in tee?
“In that car back, man, just a kind of disappointed in his decision, but I knew, I mean, didn’t finish. I still have to finish the hole and try my best. And then I ended up hitting a terrible car, hitting it so badly in rough knee. thick.
How many times have you seen the reproduction of this again swing now?
“Ohhh. This is a really good question. Many. Many times. The way many times.”
What time did you end up sleeping?
“Oh, I couldn’t sleep, man. I probably went to bed at 3am, and I had to wake up at 6:30 (for a flight back).”
Then what does a meal or a drink look like for you after that?
“The boy, that was oh, it wasn’t good, man. It wasn’t good. Everything was closed.”
Oh, no.
“So we went to the sketched place of the kebab. So we had some bites, it wasn’t very good. And then just headed to the stores and bought some snacks, some drinks, and then I was staying on my phone for hours, and it was just unrealistic.”
What was the drink you had while responding to all texts and calls?
“I had an aloe vera strawberry. Yes, it was fine.”
Who is the first person you called?
“The first person I called was my mother.”

No one in the Richard Teder’s family plays golf. Not his mother, terrace. Not his father, Sven. Not his older sister, Gerly. So how would he start? A tennis tour actually. His aunt, Trinu, won it and the award was 10 golf crossings. (Hey, it was something.) Richard was 6 years old when he started, and Mom and son were traveling quickly to play.
Estonia’s options are scarce. There are only seven courses in The country in northeast Europe sharing its eastern border with Russia – and where winter often flows in spring and falls for 1.1 million people who call it at home.
How are you doing well in golf in estoni?
“Well, lucky for me, my mother has been doing this with me, and I’ve gone to Spain since I was 12 years old. So I try to spend three to six months there every year to practice and keep my game in shape. My Mom, she wanted me to play abroad and always practice in the bar because the weather is bad in Estonia.
For someone who has never been in estoni, what do you do for fun there?
“Do you do for fun? Uh-huh. Well, definitely take a look at the city. Old town It’s extremely beautiful, so everyone definitely has to take a look at it. And then during the winter, we go to skiing, such things. And, yes, to be honest, there is not much to do here, man. There is not much. ”
What is your restaurant in estoni?
“My restaurant to go. OOH, OOH, OOH. Very good questions. Maybe a restaurant called GorsuGotsu. And it’s like an Asian restaurant. Is unrealistic. ”
What is the best Estonian food?
“The best Estonian food. Well, we eat a lot of potatoes, but I eat potatoes. Only potatoes, meat. Yes, that’s it, man. Only loads and potato loads.”

“Far away from golf?
Any kind of musical interest?
“Oh, yes, yes. Yes. Love the music.”
What do you like?
“As rap.”
Who is your favorite?
“My favorite artist, Hmm.”
You can give me the first three if you want.
“The three main artists? Ok. I should go Lil Bebe. Hmm. I go Future. And then let’s go Lil Wayne”
Are you a guy listening to music in the range?
“Yes. He helped me a lot in the rank of tournament day.”
How much do you like?
“I mean, I just saw the boys in the range. Truly good players, man. And then just a kind of nervous blow heading next to them and then just put my airpods and then it just disappeared. I was dead after that.”

At one point soon, Richard Teder wants to play in PGA Tour. through A program for non-colleague amateursHe is hoping to win a card this year at the Hotel Planner Tour, a circuit under the DP World Tournament. A fair show in the open, of course, would help. Teder’s game is the distance-he said his club speed is in the range of 126-, 127-MPH, which would be ranked at the top of PGA Tour-so that his answer to the question of who would like to meet within two weeks in Portrais was predictable.
“It should be Bryson. Bryson dechambeau”
What would you tell him?
“Oh, I would like a picture with him. That would be fine. And then if I could have a long competition with that guy, that would be sick.”
Who wins it?
“This is a good question, man. I’ve gained a speed over the past two years. I think he’ll get me a little but not too much, though.”
How does a good open week look like?
“A good week in Open. Just be there, man. Just being there is just incredible. I mean, well, the main goal is to make the cut, enjoy the game and just have fun, man. That’s all I am trying to do is just have fun.”
You mentioned the nerves in the final qualification. Have you thought about what this might be like when you are in the port in the portrait?
“Oooh. Yes. I mean, I hope it will be THAT Crazy that I just won’t feel the nerves. It just feels like it is like crazy over-the-top. But I have to be fine. ”
Can you win the open championship?
“Can I win the open championship? I would like to think so. I mean, if I play the best and really my best, if I play a good golf, I definitely have a chance, yes. We all breathe in the same air here, so I mean, we are all people. Nothing is impossible.”

Richard Teder speaks English well – but how? As the call was running out, I asked Teder if he would learn English at school, as he spoke well. He said he didn’t, anyway.
And if you are curious what kind of golf and guy teder is, here you go.
How… are you having a good English conversation?
“Just as social media, youtube and stuff. Just looked at YouTube as a child and just chose her from there, man.”
Wow. Yes, I have more questions. So what is the YouTube channel from whom you learned English?
“Well, I’m just watching all kinds of videos, man. Just trying to understand it and then play some games too and then just learning it from there really. But yes, I never studied at school or nothing and never had lessons.”
What is the video you’ve watched the most to get English?
“I think it’s just all golf videos. I mean, I’ve seen to see golf videos all the time, just casual players playing golf and some coaches who explain things and just trying to understand it somehow. I don’t know.
“Is a really good question, man.”
