A great season finish
Dubai
Countdown Dubai
I travelled to Dubai and i was really looking forward playing the final tournament of the season. I practiced the weeks before in south africa, together with my brother Martin. We had a great time and practiced a lot, happy to see that he is in good shape too.
Improvement
An ongoing target
This tournament in Dubai will be the last chance for me to get enough Order of Merit points and to ensure a full exempt. 2011 tour card. It would save me a trip to Spain to the final tourschool stage.
Results
73 and 73
The first couple of days i felt comfortable with my swing and i played solid golf. Sometimes i was wondering why i would not score lower… Anyway i largely entered the final field, yes, i made the cut! Happy and motivated as i was approaching my goals.
Weekend
A round of 80 shots
Playing among the best 60 players during that weekend was an incredible experience. Michelle Wie, Laura Davies, Lee-Anne Pace, Tanja Elesogui etc just to name some players, who would fight for victory that weekend.
I had a bad start and i would not find into my game. After nine holes i was +7. Thanks to my caddy (brother mathias), i had a great support at my side. He cheered and motivated. The second nine holes i started all over again as every shot would count.
Final day
69 (-3)
The final round i started off very early in the morning. To be exact at 7.39 am. I was determined to play at least a par round, i needed it to ensure a 2011 full exempt. tour card. The first two holes i birdied each and during the whole round i felt confident and determined. I finished as i started with a birdie and i signed a score of 69 shots. Only three other players had a better score than mine.
Exemption Ranking
I made it!
After the final round i knew i was getting the 2011 tour card due to my 77th final ranking in the OM standings.
A moment to say thank you to all my sponsors, family, supportives and fans.
THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN ME!
Wishing you all a merry christmas and a blessed 2011.
Yours Caroline
