DIARY // WENTWORTH // 24th May 2009

Well I have been looking forward to getting back to Wentworth since last year when I lost in the play-offs to Miguel Angel Jimenez, which was probably my biggest result to date so I was looking forward to trying to go one better.

It wasn't the normal preparation I had for a tournament; I had a very exciting Tuesday. BMW invited me and Miguel to a track day with Andy Priaulx who is the World Touring Car Champion. It was an incredible experience; we flew into Brands Hatch by chopper and then raced M3's around the track for a couple of hours and flew back in to Wentworth in time for lunch... a very different day!

Unfortunately when I started playing on Thursday my golf wasn't quite what I wanted it to be. I didn't putt very well and really struggled on the greens, and that really filtered through my whole game. I wasn't sharp enough putting and it left me quite a lot of work to do. Everything else was just OK, not fabulous, but good enough. Needless to say I was very disappointed to not make the cut and put in a challenge over the weekend.

Next week I am heading to the European Open, again in London so not too much travelling to do so it's like another home event. Fingers crossed I will try and do a little better by this time next week!
