This strategy has proved successful on days one and two at Carden Park, with Ruth also chipping in for eagle three times - twice on day two, at the par 5 eleventh and the par 5 fourteenth.
The pair have their eyes on the prize and a target in mind for the final day, as Hendriksen explains: “The course is playing a bit different this year - last year it was a lot firmer - this year it’s a lot softer, which suits us better. We can attack the pins a bit more and take on a few more shots. It’s a risk and reward course - you need to hit the fairways and then it gives you good opportunities to hit it close.”
“We’ve got a pretty good strategy on the golf course, so we’ll just stick to that - looking at the scoring you’re probably going to need to be in the 30s-under-par - we said at the start of the week that 30-under-par would be a good number to try and get to, so we’ll have to keep pressing again tomorrow and shoot a low one again if we want to feature.”
