Good start into 2010!
satisfied with the tournament
I am happy about my game this week. After a great two weeks preparation in South Africa i traveled to New Zealand. Although i felt confident, i did not know what i could expect here in New Zealand. It is difficult to judge on the preparation without competing with the best players within a tournament.
With solid scores of 73 and 72 shots (+1) i was ranked 36th and i would pass the cut for the final round quite easily. A good start if you consider the strong field of the participants.
70, two under par
Throughout the whole week a strong wind would be present on the course. Playing a score of 70 (-2) would allow me to do a big jump on the ranking upwards from 36 to the sensational 11th place. Although i had to share this ranking with other 9 players i was really happy!
Flirting with the Top 10
In the end of the tournament i can say it would have been possible to enter the top 10. But unfortuantely the score of 72 shots in my last round was not low enough to do so. But a solid 21st position within a strong field is a great achievement for me. 10 Bogies and 11 Birdies lead to a total score of (-1) for the tournament.
Next destination Australia
Tomorrow Monday i will be already on my way to Queensland, happy that my caddy Mathias will accompagny me to the next tournament.
