Dosud zápolil výhradně s amatéry, za dva týdny okusí jiný svět, síly změří s nejužší golfovou špičkou, třeba se světovou jedničkou Scottiem Schefflerem nebo legendárním Rorym McIlroyem.

„Je to pro mě neskutečné, že jsem se dostal na The Open. Motivuje mě to do další práce. každý amatér sní o tom, že si zahraje na majoru. A ten fakt, že já si ho můžu zahrát, zažít tu atmosféru a pocit, mě neskutečně těší,“ lebedí si Jakubčík.

Nyní pozná, jak si stojí v konkurenci s nejlepšími. „Moc nervózní nebudu, protože se ode mě tolik neočekává. Těším se, s pár profesionály už jsem se potkal, ale tady bude opravdu sto nejlepších hráčů na světě,“ podotkl Jakubčík.

Filip Jakubčík na středečním setkání s novináři v golfovém klubu Kaskáda na Brněnsku po triumfu na mistrovství Evropy amatérů.

Do historie českého golfu se zapsal nesmazatelně už tím, že jako první ovládl evropský šampionát amatérů, který hostil Vasatorp Golf Club nedaleko švédského Helsingborgu. Dosud bylo českým maximem na kontinentálním šampionátu třetí místo Šimona Zacha z roku 2016.

„Hrálo se mi super všechny čtyři dny, nejhorší byl asi třetí, ale celý turnaj vyšel,“ zhodnotil Jakubčík.

Před vrcholnou akcí ho čeká ještě příští týden evropský šampionát družstev, který se uskuteční v irském městě Killarney.

Před kamerami nesměle působící český reprezentant to umí na greenu pořádně rozparádit. Golfu se věnuje od dvou let. „Nebyl to tehdy ve dvou letech úplně golf, ale měl jsem plastovou holi a ťukal s ní do balonu, postupně se to vyvinulo,“ zavzpomínal na své začátky Jakubčík.

Evropský šampionát golfistů u Brna

Velkou mezinárodní akci bude v příštím týdnu hostit golfový resort Kaskáda v blízkosti Brna. Od 8. do 12. července se tam uskuteční golfové mistrovství Evropy družstev do osmnácti let. Domácí tým nastoupí ve složení Václav Švub, Štěpán Plášek, Mikuláš Vojtěšek, Matouš Zach, Roman Pivoda a Tomáš Hejda. „Zúčastní se šestnáct evropských týmů včetně českého. Mistrovství jsme pořádali už v roce 2018, kdy Češi skončili na krásném šestém místě,“ shrnula Veronika Mojžíšková z organizačního týmu. Před sedmi lety se v českých barvách představili i Jakubčík nebo aktuální česká golfová jednička Petr Hrubý.

Elitní český reprezentant už tři roky studuje ekonomii na Arizonské univerzitě v americkém Tucsonu, a po dokončení školy by se rád zařadil mezi profesionály a navázal tak na aktuálně nejvýš postaveného českého hráče v profi žebříčku Petra Hrubého.

„Začaly se nyní zohledňovat žebříčky z posledních dvou let na univerzitě. Jeden už mám zapsaný, kdy se mi docela dařilo. Profesionálem bych se chtěl stát po posledním roce na univerzitě. Pokud mi vyjde, tak bych se mohl dostat na solidní okruh, jakým je třeba Korn Ferry Tour,“ nastínil své plány Jakubčík.

Pro úspěch dělá maximum, proto si ani příliš neužije studentského života. „Pro nesportovce platí, že je to podobné jako ve filmech, co se týče různých spolků a podobně. Ale mě to míjí tím, že se hodně věnuje golfu,“ uzavřel Jakubčík.

On Wednesday, Raleigh was named a starter for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, earning his first All-Star nod while being voted the best catcher in the American League.But while Raleigh is pleased about the opportunity, he has another reason to be grateful All-Star voting has ended.

How USMNT Gold Cup hero Diego Luna quickly became a Mauricio Pochettino favorite after flirting with Mexico

It was not Diego Luna's first time with the U.S. men's national team but the abridged version of the story arc begins with an elbow to the face. In the first half of the USMNT's 3-0 win over Costa Rica last winter, an otherwise unmemorable match during the annual but frequently inconsequential January camp, Luna's nose was broken, blood rushing out of both of his nostrils. It inspired a great quote out of head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who was just months into the job, but more importantly, it is the origin story of the 21-year-old's quick rise from international obscurity to a national team mainstay."I was very surprised, because it was broke, you know?" Pochettino said in a post-match interview. "But I didn't want to say nothing [with] too much drama, because [it might] scare him. I said, 'How do […]

Nationals CF Jacob Young makes wild home run robbery after scaling wall in win over Tigers

Jacob Young had absolutely no issue scaling up the outfield wall at Nationals Park on Wednesday night.The Nationals’ outfielder made his way up the wall in ridiculous fashion on Wednesday night and came up with what will easily be among the best home run robberies of the season.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementYoung, in the ninth inning of their 9-4 win over the Detroit Tigers, started tracking a deep shot from Riley Greene that appeared to be on pace to be a solo home run. But as he got to the wall, Young didn’t hesitate.

The USWNT sealed a 3-0 victory at Audi Field in Washington, DC in front of a sold-out crowd Tuesday evening.AdvertisementGoals from midfielders Sam Coffey and Claire Hutton opened the scoring in the first half; both were results of set pieces delivered by the third midfielder in their lineup, Rose Lavelle.
