The English tennis legend has already teed off at the Wentworth Golf Club, and the official handle of the DP World Tour shared a video of him. In the video, fans can see Murray preparing to hit a shot and then successfully hitting the shot. After hitting a good one, the former World No. 1 said to his caddie:

"A bit thin."
