Golfer Hendry vows to repeat victory in Indonesia Open


JAKARTA, July 13 (Xinhua) -- New Zealander Michael Hendry who won the Indonesia Open golf tournament in 2010 said on Wednesday that he was ready to defend his title this week.
Hendry recorded a magnificent seven stroke victory over China's Liang Wenchong last year at Damai Indah Golf - Pantai Indah Kapuk Course.

"My game is not far away from coming together. It is very close to the point where every part of my game is working in unison. I am driving the ball really well and I feel the rest of my game is not far off," said Hendry.
The 31-year-old's win last year was the first big victory of his career and as well as the financial reward it gave him a huge confidence lift.
"It certainly was a breakthrough that has allowed me to play with a new level of confidence. The fact that I have not won since then doesn't worry me. I have come close to winning a few times and I am sure there will be many more chances. I don't feel nervous being here as defending champion. I am relaxed and in the right frame of mind," he added.
The Indonesia Open is the seventh event on OneAsia this year and boasts prize money of 1 million U.S. dollars.
Hendry relived last year's victory while playing a practice round.
"On many of the holes I played the same shots as last year. The memories are very strong and should help me this week. At home recently I also watched some of the coverage last year as I have a copy and that has been fun," he said.
An all-star line-up is competing including Liang, Japan's Shigeki Maruyama, Irishman Paul McGinley, Danny Chia from Malaysia, South Korea's Han Chang-won, and Indonesian number one Rory Hie.

[Photo/Agencies] TORONTO - Carl Pettersson had to choose between being fit or playing golf, and the Swede decided he would be happier winning tournaments than losing weight. Pettersson, whose dimensions are closer to a young John Daly than Camilo Villegas, has even less motivation to call Weight Watchers after picking up his fourth PGA Tour title with a dramatic one-shot win at the Canadian Open on Sunday.
