First round leader quotes from the UniCredit Ladies German Open, by LET
Iben Tinning (Denmark)
You got to seven-under and then what happened?
I had a couple of bogeys. I hit a
bad shot on eight and got a bogey there and nine is a really, really long hole. I
had 185 metres on the second shot so that’s a long par four.
You were leading after the first round in Turkey. What does this first round mean
to you?
I played nice and solid; I just made the two bogeys at the end. I’m alright
with it.
Do you think you could be number one at the end of the day?
Well nobody’s every won
on a Thursday; I’m just going to focus on my game. I’ve got a lot to learn here and
I’m working a lot on the mental part of the game so I’m just going to keep doing
that and see what happens.
The weather is not great. Is it a problem?
It is. I am a little surprised myself
that I finished at five under because it’s pretty wet out there but the greens are
still nice and that’s going to make a difference.
Two bogeys – what happened?
I had a really bad shot on eight and I don’t know where
it came from. I didn’t feel nervous to be honest. It was a perfect yardage and I
pulled it and ended up having a bogey. That was it. The last hole is just really
long and you’re going to expect to have a bogey there one of the days. That was today
unfortunately. I’m definitely satisfied. Conditions are tough out there. It’s not
that windy but it’s wet; the greens are still good but I’m very pleased with five
under. I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing.
What was the key?
Well I only had 26 putts. My husband Lasse Degn, an ice-hockey
player for the Cobras in Rungsted, is caddying. He retired one month ago. Now he’s
working as a production engineer so he doesn’t get as much time off.
He’s been looking
forward to this and so have I. He hasn’t caddied for me for two years. It was a tough
start with the umbrellas as it was so wet. I think he did a great job.
Why do you use a golf ball that looks like a football?
It helps me with alignment
and it feels like you have a better lie when you’re in the rough. It’s a lot to do
with the eyes.
What were your best birdies today?
All the birdies were good putts, except one on
16. I hit it towards the right side just short of the water. Then I had a seven iron
into the wind and rain and I nearly holed my second shot. It was a tap-in so that
was the birdie of the day.
