18.12 Seiersintervju med Caroline Martens:
Super sisterunde ga klar seier
Vi fikk en gledelig avslutning på
LET-sesongen med Caroline Martens' flotte seier.
Her er intervjuet som ble gjort rett etter at seieren var klar:
Caroline Martens
- How does that feel?
Caroline Martens: - I’m almost out of words. Obviously it feels fantastic.
I played ridiculously well and didn’t make any mistakes out there. I was
striking the ball perfect, I was putting well. It was a fantastic round of golf:
the best I’ve ever played.
- Where did this come from?
- The one word I kept on thinking on every shot, every day, was patience. Like,
‘It’s a marathon of a week, I have to be patient; it’s not over until it’s over.
Even on the last putt on 18, I just kept saying to myself, I need to be patient,
I need to be patient, just breathe, take one shot at a time, don’t get ahead of
yourself and enjoy the moment really.
I’ve never had a full card before. I had a category nine a couple of years back,
in 2012, so this is my first time with a full card.
- You must be looking forward to next year?
- I’m really looking forward to it. It’s been such a difficult year and I’ve
worked so hard, having this week going the way it did, it makes me feel like all
the hard work I’ve put into it really paid off. I’m really looking forward to
next year, getting started and improving on what I did here.
- Talk me through all the hard work.
- I’ve been in the gym five to seven days a week trying to get back after my
shoulder injury. It happened during the Norrporten Access Series event in Sweden.
Since then, I mean, I always work hard in the gym, but I didn’t have that kind
of determination before because I had been there to get stronger and not to
repair something that was broken. Since then, I have just worked really hard
trying to get my shoulders back, getting my strength back and also I put a lot
of effort into my putting. I’ve been striking it well for a while but I just
couldn’t make the putts, but now I can!
- Did LETAS help you to stay competitive?
- Absolutely. The Access Series is fantastic. What they’ve done there: what Di
has achieved with that tour is amazing. I wouldn’t be the golfer that I am today
if it wasn’t for the Access Series. It’s been very, very good and very
competitive every week. I haven’t won anything this year: I’ve been close
several times, but it just tells you that it’s really competitive and to stay
competitive week in and week out makes you a better golfer. I would definitely
say the Access Series is the reason I am playing well. To be competitive each
week is fantastic but then being surrounded with such good golfers is also
inspiring. The Tour is very well run and it’s very professional so you feel as
though you are on tour even though you are not on the main tour. It feels like
it’s your job and it’s an important feeling rather than playing an amateur event.
- How were the conditions… a little wind?
- That doesn’t faze me. If it rains, I play better, and if it’s windy, I play
better. I didn’t think of it at all, really.
- Your mum on the bag, did she help you?
- Access Series is important but I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my mom. She
is fantastic. She is the best caddie, the best role model, the best motivator,
the best mom. She is absolutely amazing and I am so lucky to have her. Ingrid
Martens. She is a 4 handicap and she used to be zero, so she actually beat me
this summer. We played a round of straight up stroke play and she beat me by a
shot. She’s a very good golfer but also she knows my game so well so to have her
on the bag, it’s just we’re two instead of one. It feels great.
