Pau Gasol, statements

Then the holder of two NBA Rings with the Lakers explained to this special correspondent his sensations in this new 'stage' of his life after retiring from active basketball a year ago. "This is different but very emblematic, more emblematic than this there are not many places in the world. I am very happy with this new experience in this world that I am discovering from golf", explained the Catalan athlete, who undoubtedly brought luck to his friend Garcia.

"It has been a good round and it is what golf also has, that there are days when things do not work out but the next, yes and everything changes. It is a good round to be there in the fight on the weekend, which always It's important. A good day without a doubt, with positive feelings," he added.

Gasol, who has experienced all kinds of sporting events and has stepped on the most mythical basketball stages, highlighted the Old Course: "this is pure history, I had never been to Scotland and this country has something, you breathe something special. Choosing between Augusta and Saint Andrews? You have to play them but this is more authentic, more relaxed, not as rigid (I use the American term for 'uptight') as Augusta."

Finally, regarding his level of golf, he commented: "Improving, improving, everything based on work." And he went to eat with his wife and Sergio and his in the family tent.
