I've always taken golf seriously. I do it with a lot of love and as a profession.
00:06
Whenever I play, I play as a challenge. I challenge myself.
00:11
Every day I play, I want to do better.
00:14
When I get there, I'm there with my determination to do my best.
00:22
Hello, I'm Victor Marçal. This is my story.
00:26
A story of many possibilities.
00:29
We did everything we could to learn how to play.
00:33
And it's in this persistence that I'm a good player today.
00:37
These possibilities will only appear if there is someone to help.
00:42
In 1993, I would like to learn how to play golf.
00:46
And I didn't have the material.
00:48
We made up the court like a ball.
00:50
And we took an iron like this.
00:52
We took it, folded it, and made it into a ball.
00:56
That's how we always tried to play.
00:59
I came to play here in Morro do Viado.
01:01
I never had a teacher.
01:03
I only had a lady who gave me the first lessons.
01:06
And she gave us an iron 5.
01:09
She made us train every day of the week.
01:12
From then on, my involvement in golf began.
01:17
This is my house. I live here.
01:20
I have my trophies here.
01:22
All my cups that I've already won.
01:25
There are many possibilities.
01:27
These possibilities will only appear if there is someone to help.
01:56
He is the kind of guy that will benefit from the DP World Tour spreading its wings
02:02
and giving many more people a chance to play golf who otherwise couldn't.
02:05
For us, he's a classic case study of what we're trying to do.
02:08
And it's a wonderful story at the same time.
02:10
I just want to thank DP World for the invitation.
02:12
I'm happy. I'm very excited to be part of the team with Luke Donald.
02:17
There are many excellent people, excellent players.
02:21
I'm happy to be here with them.
02:24
I just want to thank DP World for the people who work for DP World
02:30
and who are here with me.
02:32
It was an excellent feeling.
02:35
I didn't expect to play with such an excellent player.
02:39
He's already been number one in the world.
02:41
I hope they continue to support golf.
02:45
I just want to thank them.
