We played great today as a team and took over the lead in The Royal Trophy. We were very happy afterwards and felt like we fought for each other. Monty is a great captain. He is encouraging and makes us all feel comfortable. Played with Robert again today and he played really good again and I had my best day so far. I think we shot 11 under through the 14 holes we played and didn’t loose a hole. We couldn’t ask for a better day. Yesterday, we shot 6 under I think in foursomes so we have had a good tournament as a team. Single matches tomorrow. We’re up by one point and need a good day to bring the trophy home. I’m playing the Japanese player Oda and really looking forward to a good match.  

Team meeting/lunch yesterday. Totally nackerd in the heat here in Bangkok. 

Locker room. Monty spends more time here than the rest of us. He usually just hits a few balls before teeing up. A few years ago, he never used to practice and he still won everything. He told us when he won in Switzerland about a decade ago, he didn’t even visit the driving range all week because you had to take a buggy ride to it. He hit a few balls into a net next to the pro-shop. He shot 63-61 on the weekend and won the whole thing.

Serious blog mode:)

Colin looks happy after our win. We were both a little rusty a few days ago but we’re back into the tournament rythm again. 

It’s great to see the European flag in the air. We need all support we can get. Here watching Stenson/Martin playing Marksaeng and Jaidee. Stenson/Martin won the match 2/1.

I told Monty he had to smile to get on the blog, but he refused:) He smiles a lot normally but not for the blog…

Stenson and Martin happy happy. So were we all.

Swedish supporters with the Swedish football shirt. I like!

18th.

Going to bed to get some sleep for tomorrow’s big game. I have felt in love with match play again. Haven’t played it for 4 years so I forgot a lot of the strategies and games you could use. Luckily, Robert is a match play star so he taught me some crucial things. 

See you tomorrow!
