I was a bit nervous on the first tee when they called my name \u2026\u00a0 being my first Major and with the crowds there,\u201d said Pagunsan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, it was very exciting to come out for the first day. I focused on my swing and how I wanted to put my ball on the fairway. If you miss it, it\u2019s tough. I missed my drive on the left on 18 and I was actually lucky to make bogey there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pagunsan\u2019s putter let him down as he missed several opportunities to end the day in red numbers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hit it really good but missed a lot of putts and a lot of opportunities. The touch wasn\u2019t good enough. Hopefully tomorrow. I\u2019m going to hit some putts now,\u201d said the 34-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>He was disappointed to bogey two of the par three holes on his outward nine. \u201cMissed my tee shots on five and ninth. Nine is not really good as I only had a short iron on the tee. It was really bad,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTowards the end of my round, it was a bit freezing on my hands when the winds started to blow a bit. It wasn\u2019t good enough but I\u2019ll take this score.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pagunsan currently lies in the middle of the field and is eyeing the weekend rounds.<br \/>\u201cMy wife said to try to make the cut first and then think about the last two days later. I\u2019ve been talking to her every night on skype. She\u2019s been telling me to relax and enjoy the occasion. I\u2019m trying,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lytham St Annes, England: Asian Tour number one Juvic Pagunsan overcame his Major nerves to shoot a commendable one-over-par 71 at The Open Championship on Thursday.
