Klara Spilkova happy with first-round performance
Czech Klara Spilkova, who posted a 67 in the first round of Omega Dubai Ladies Masters 2012, said that she likes the course—Emirates Golf Club—as it helped her with short game.
Spilkova stunned her rivals and fans after she tightened her grip on the match with the help of a massive 67 on Wednesday.
Speaking to the media about her performance at the ongoing LET (Ladies European Tour) tournament in Dubai, the Czech star said that she has been training hard on the practice range and has
been able to fix most of the flaws in her putting.
She went on to say that her short game—not just putting—has improved quite a lot, which is proving productive, as the greens are often a big challenge to most of the players.
The match has entered into its second day, which has seen some other players grab top positions. However, most of the players have yet to complete their round.
The first round, which saw Spilkova get off to a fiery start, was later dominated by Chinese Feng who shot an impeccable 66.
Feng, who has completed her second round too, appears to have tightened her grip on the match. The Chinese star is currently standing at the top position on the leaderboard on the back of
a 65 in the second round.
Spilkova expressed her confidence in her form, saying she was happy with the way things are going in her pro career, and her performance in the first round of Dubai Masters can be attributed
to it.
“I played really good. I had five birdies and was very, very solid, so I'm so happy. It was a good game. I enjoy this golf course, it suits my style. The greens are very nice, very good
roll. So I made very nice birdies and very good putts,” said the young gun who performed well at the 2011 Raiffeisenbank Prague Golf Masters as she finished 9th on the leaderboard.
“My year wasn't so good, so I really want to finish good. I had a few cuts, I think it was half and half. I missed a cut and then made it. So I really want to finish good, because I a little
bit need to”.
