The rising star, a sponsors' invite this week, also revealed that he had sought the guidance of European Tour professional Lee Slattery, who he had played alongside during the opening two rounds.

"I didn't do as well as I would have liked to but it was such a fun experience just to soak in the atmosphere because one day I would like to be on tour," Williams told Sky Sports.

"I have definitely seen over the past few days where my game needs work. I spoke to Lee about how he has gone through the years to this point. I have definitely seen the weaknesses in my game but I am excited to get working on it."

Williams followed in the footsteps of four-time major winner Rory McIlroy to make his debut in a professional tournament as an amateur at the British Masters.
