Although a Joburg boy, the picturesque setting of the Regnum Carya in Antalya, where the sun-kissed shore meets the azure sky, reminds the 22-year-old of South Africa’s East Coast.

“It’s a beautiful place here, a bit like KZN back home, just a bit less humid and not as hot,” Premlall said.

The youngest player to compete in the SA Open at 15 years did not enjoy a stay as long as he would have hoped for, especially as “the hospitality has been amazing”, due to him missing the cut at the Turkish Airlines Open having carded a +1 after the first two rounds.

But Premlall is not overly despondent as he makes his way around the circuit during his debut DP World Tour season.

“Look, it was good, there were definitely some things that I wasn’t happy with in that whole stretch that I’m obviously trying to work on and get better at,” he said.
