Caroline Masson all set for battle at Dubai
German Caroline Masson may have given a miss to the Hero Women’s Indian Open 2012, but she clearly is not going to take the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters lightly as she is eyeing the 2012 money
title.
The Omega Dubai Ladies Masters 2012 is going to kick off from December 5-8, at Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with Spanish Carlota Ciganda standing at the top position in the ISPS Handa Order
of Merit.
However, Masson is also in the limelight due to being at the second position on money list.
The German star has pocketed a total of 210,831.15 euro, which is 31,958.80 euro less than what Ciganda has earned.
Ciganda has earned total prize money of 242,789.95, but Masson still has a chance to beat her. In order to win the money title, Masson will be required to finish inside the top three, which
will give her 35,000 euro—enough to help her knock Ciganda off the top spot on the list .
Observers said that if Masson had not given a miss to the Hero Women’s Indian Open 2012, stats would have looked different at the moment.
Although it remains to be seen who is going to have the upper hand at the end of Omega Dubai Ladies Masters 2012, Masson has her reasons to believe why she has a chance to win the money race.
Sharing her thoughts during her pre-tournament interview at Dubai on Tuesday, the German golfer said that she is fully confident, but facing Carlota will be not be easy at all.
“I know I have to play really well to catch Carlota. I know she had a great year. She's a great player. I knew when she was coming out on Tour that she's going to play great,” said the ambitious
Ladies European Tour (LET) star who racked up title at the South African Women’s Open in the current season.
In addition to winning one title in the season, Masson recorded top-10 finishes in five other tournaments as well.
“I had a great year. I'm happy with what I accomplished so far, and if I can pull off a top three this week, you know, I'll be even more happy, but I don't think I have a lot of pressure”.
