22/2 - Top 30 in Thailand!
Björk had another good week on tour playing the
Thailand Classic. Except from a troublesome few holes including
a green on an island, Björk scored 19 birdies and one eagle overall.
He finished -10, 28th spot and is currently 14 on the Race to Dubai ranking.
It's been fun to watch the strong beginning of this
season after some times rest and especially to see a smile on the golfers face
after a quite tough season last year.
Now it's time for some practice
back home again after five straight weeks on tour. Björk will be
back 20th of April at the ISPS Handa Championship in Japan.
15/2 - Rainy in Singapore
Another cut made and quite steady game from Bjork this week.
However, too few birdies (with no birdies on the second round) put
him back in the starting field and he finished 42nd, -7 total.
The adjustment from dry heat and
super fast course to humid rain and a little bit slower greens
were difficult but educative.
Björk will stay another week on tour with Thailand being the next stop.
7/2 - Runner-up in Ras Al Khaimah!
The good game continues and Björk shows great strength
and attitude in Ras al Khaimah Open. Four very solid rounds with nice
tee shots, irons and putting. He had his game and control all the way
through, avoiding possible trouble and approached the greens very well.
He finished -16, only one stroke after the winner.
For those of us watching on tv, we could
also notice quite a few smiles out there. It's fun to see Björk
back on tour again, enjoying the game!
With this second placement, he also moved up the rankings, 12th in Race to Dubai
and 128th in the world. Next up is Singapore Classic starting on thursday!
