23/1 Back out there
First tournament of 2022 is completed and
it can be summarized as a bit of a roller-coaster-ride for Björk,
containing both highs and lows. Overall Björk putted really well,
all week, with the highlight of holing a 30 m putt day one.
He also played solid most of the time, scored 16 birdies and
was in the top more or less the whole tournament.
Unfortunately, two problematic holes destroyed his chances of top 3 placement
and he finished shared 20th. However, as he competes
against so many world top players, a top 20th placement is not at
all bad. Rather his disappointment after today when he was the runner-up
halfway through, shows that he
expects more of himself and that he knows he can be in the very top.
Hopefully he can bring with him good energy for another two weeks
on the tour in the United Arab Emirates.
9/1 Practice camp
Björk has arrived to Dubai to prepare himself for the new season and
the up-coming Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship tournament. Both him and his coach is
there, working on swing technique, as well as putting and physical fitness.
Hopefully the tournament can be played as planned and in that case there will be
four tournaments in a row for Björk, beginning 20th January.
