20 years ago today, we lost a true legend. Desert Orchid. 🤍 "Dessie" won 34 of his 70 starts, earning £654,066 in prize money, but his impact went far beyond the numbers. The grey who jumped for the crowd. Four King Georges, the 1989 Gold Cup through the snow at Cheltenham, and a following that no horse has quite matched since. One of the most beloved racehorses of all time, Desert Orchid showcased everything that makes jump racing so special.

"I found it intimidating, I was a bit nervous. The week has been pretty special the way I've been looked after though. My team and family and friends have been amazing. "My golf wasn't amazing but that’s because of the situation I find myself in. It's totally new and something I've never been in before. "It's been class. I played with Jon Rahm on Tuesday which was really special. Then today on the range, I had Rory warming up behind me. It's been awesome to walk the fairways with these guys. "I've tried to soak it all in. There's been moments of not great times, but there's also been moments of this is awesome. It's been a yoyo week mentally. But the positives will outweigh the negatives!" Ash Mansell recaps his week after making his debut on the DP World Tour 12 months after watching the Ryder Cup in person as a spectator. #BMWPGA | #RolexSeries
