Suzann Pettersen vows to continue fiery form in 2013
Norwegian Suzann Pettersen is not complacent at all, as the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) giant has now set her sights on the next year after finishing off the 2012 season on a promising note.
Pettersen, who recently won two straight LPGA titles in her tour to Asia, took part in the season-ending CME Group Titleholders 2012 last week and performed well.
Although the Norwegian star failed to win the event, her performance reflected that she was eager to continue her golfing career with more passion and hunger for success.
Speaking during the season finale that saw her card an overall 284 to finish tied for the 18th position on the leaderboard, Pettersen said that she does not think that her career is over or she has gone behind the scene.
She said that the 2012 season gave her new strength and vigour, as she proved her mettle in the second half of the year.
On the question of other key contenders having grabbed top positions in the Women’s World Golf Rankings lately, Pettersen said that she is not worried about anything at all, as she likes to face challenges.
The LPGA titan had been under intense scrutiny before her tour to Asia last month. However, winning the LPGA Hana Bank Championship and Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship helped her regain her composure and she put herself in the limelight better than ever before.
When asked what her next goal is, Pettersen said that winning is definitely something that will keep her in the headlines in the coming season, but she will also want to improve her world ranking.
“You know what, I still feel like I have the best golf ahead of me. I'm not too worried if it's season 2012 or season 2013,” said the 31-year-old star who has notched up a total of ten LPGA titles since she turned professional in 2000.
In addition to proving her worth on the LPGA Tour, she has also done well on the Ladies European Tour (LET). She has won five titles on the LET so far.
“You know what, it's just fun to go out and challenge yourself and actually try to execute what you practice,” Pettersen added.
