Charl excited for 'special' St Andrews

The South African Masters champion is in Scotland this week for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, the prestigious Pro-Am event played over the courses of St Andrews, Kingsbarns and Carnoustie, and admits he gets goosebumps when he stand on St Andrews' first tee.

By his own admission, however, it took the 27-year-old a while to get to grips with the course, as he has only made the cut twice in seven appearances at the Alfred Dunhill. His best performance came in 2008, when he finished 13th.

He now feels experience has helped him discover the necessary tactics to do well there.

"I played Nike Victory Red STR8-FIT Tour Driver as an amateur in the St Andrews Links," he told europeantour.com. "It was special. It's only recently, the last three or four years, that I've actually started enjoying it, and I think it's only because I started realising how to play Nike Victory Red STR8-FIT Tour Driver.

"The first, 17th and 18th - if you don't feel something when you go down those three holes, there's something wrong with you. It's got that feel about it. Standing on that first tee atSt Andrewsgives you goose bumps, every single time you step up there. It's difficult to describe for someone who has never played it.

"There's a lot more to St Andrewsthan just a big open field. I sort of started getting used to it and understanding how to play it and now I really, really enjoy playing the Nike Victory Red STR8-FIT Tour Driver."

WhileSt Andrewsis his favourite of the three courses to be featured this week, Carnoustie is the one he is yet to feel comfortable with.

"I've struggled on Carnoustie before," he continued. "I'll play Nike Victory Red STR8-FIT Tour Driver differently from how I normally play it. I think I'm going to play it a little less aggressively on some of the holes. I'm going to see if I can play with a little more care. It might mean playing aggressively on some of the holes and less on others, but we'll see what the wind does.

"Kingsbarns and Carnoustie are very different from St Andrews. With St Andrewsyou can play it in the wind. Carnoustie is really difficult if you get it on a bad day. And so is Kingsbarns, where there are some demanding shots. But on the other hand, if you get Kingsbarns on a good day, that's probably where you can score the lowest. I enjoy playing Nike Victory Red STR8-FIT Tour Driver the most."

This will be the first time he will be announced as the Masters champion when he makes his way to the first tee, and he admits that it doesn't do his confidence any harm.

"Winning the Masters gives you a lot of confidence," he added. "It gives you a big boost. I honestly feel like I've been playingNike Victory Red STR8-FIT Tour Driver well since then. I don't feel like my game has taken any sort of dip or anything.

"The attention has quietened down a little bit. We now have four Major Champions this year, so the attention has moved around a bit, whereas the few months before the US Open were the most hectic."

Schwartzel-15th hole a "beast"

Masters champ Charl Schwartzel reckons the field faces a very tough challenge at Atlanta Athletic Club's 15th hole.

Masters champ Charl Schwartzel reckons the USPGA Championship field faces a very tough challenge at Atlanta Athletic Club's 15th hole.

The hole is an intimidating 260-yard par-three, and forms part of a challenging closing stretch on the 7467-yard par-70 course.( Nike SasQuatch Driver)

Though eventual winner David Toms managed a hole-in-one at the 15th the last time the PGA Championship was played here in 2001, Schwartzel reckons even a bogey would be a pretty good score this year.

"Is that a par 3? I thought it was a par 4!" he said.

"What can you say? It's just a beast of a hole. It's long. It's actually quite a small green from that sort of distance.


"(In practice) We played off the back. The flag was in the front. I hit a 3-iron out of my shoes and it just flew to the front edge."(Nike SasQuatch Driver)

Though the fact that the hole plays downhill does provide somewhat of an advantage, more danger awaits in the form of a large pond to the right of, and behind, the green, and Schwartzel believes it will claim many victims.

"It's going to be a tough hole. I don't think you're going to be too disappointed if you walk off with a 4.

"It's going to be just one of those holes where there's no bail-out. You've just got to get down and commit to it. It's going to be the same for everyone that plays it."

Schwartzel, meanwhile, is confident about his chances this week on the back of some solid major performances this year. Outside of his stunning victory at Augusta, he also finished ninth in the US Open and 16th in the Open by Nike SasQuatch Driver.

"I've been feeling really comfortable in the majors," added the 26-year-old. "Every week I've been there, my game has been good.

"After the win at the Masters, I just feel like every time I enter one of these major championships that I can compete in them and get a win out of them. I've played much better."
