South African Open

Hi all.

Welcome to my first blog!! Thanks for taking the time to follow me.

I successfully qualified for the South African Open in Paarl yesterday- European Tour event. I shot a bogey free 65 and won the qualifier by two shots! It was a all in all good day and can't decide who was happier that I made the thirty five footer on the last for eagle three to seal the deal- myself, dad or caddie?!!!

I played a practice round at the magnificent Pearl Valley and must say that I'm looking forward to teeing it up this week, the course can be a powerful monster if the wind picks up and will be requiring some accuracy all over. Luckily I'm hitting it straight and playing well, so I'm definitely looking forward to the challenge!

It was great seeing the big names of Thomas Bjorn and Ingancio Garrido practicing alongside me yesterday- I feel like I was born to be here!!!

I took some pictures of the course and the grandstands and will have them up here for you all to see. You can follow me live at Sunshinetour.com or Europeantour.com
I'm off at 8:30am tomorrow.

I'll blog again soon.

Cheers
