DUBAI, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Ross Fisher, a member of
Europe's jubilant Ryder Cup group final year, put a swagger
back in his step after a unlucky deteriorate by sharpened a
four-under 68 in a Dubai World Championship initial spin on
Thursday.
The 31-year-old Briton has plunged from 20th to 93rd in the
world rankings given his final European Tour victory during a 2010
Irish Open and is unfortunate to get behind to winning ways.
"Victory here would meant a lot," Fisher told Reuters in an
interview after tucking in 4 strokes behind personality Peter
Hanson of Sweden. "It is a tour's second biggest eventuality of the
year after a BMW PGA Championship during Wentworth.
"To win would be outrageous and it would paint a really happy
Christmas for me."
Fisher has had a fibre of missed cuts this year, with his
best outcome a tie for sixth during a Dutch Open in September.
"It's been a certainty thing for me," he said. "I've
struggled all year with my putting, it's been inconsistent.
"I've strike a lot of peculiarity shots and haven't taken
advantage. The best players in a universe take advantage and I've
not been doing that.
"That's since my ranking is where it is. Once we start holing a
few putts like we did currently we get a lot some-more certainty and the
hole unexpected seems bigger," combined Fisher.
"For a infancy of a year it's seemed utterly tiny to me
so this is a step in a right direction. But there are three
more days to go and there are a lot of peculiarity players here."
A lapse to a Greg Norman-designed Earth march stung
Fisher into action, generally during a 15th where he holed his
wedge proceed from 120 yards for an brazen eagle two.
COURSE RECORD
"I tied a march record with a 64 on a Friday here last
year though afterwards we took a rescue bar during a 18th on a Saturday
and found a water," pronounced a tall, slim Englishman.
"That took a steam out of my run and we afterwards shot a 75 on
Sunday that meant we went from carrying a good possibility of winning
to tied 13th."
The Earth march favours a large hitters and Fisher is one
of a longest in universe golf.
"I know we can play this march and it does fit me," he
said. "This year it suits even more.
"The prolonged par-fives are personification to my strength and we can get
up in dual shots. You need to measure on those holes here."
The esteem account during this week's season-ending eventuality is $7.5
million, with a leader holding home $1.25 million.
There is an additional $7.5 million adult for grabs for the
leading 15 players in a final sequence of merit.
"Luke Donald and Rory McIlroy are opposed to finish as the
number one in Europe this week though everybody wants to win here
because a esteem income is massive," pronounced Fisher who is down in
50th place on a sequence of merit.
"It would assistance me if we did win to hopefully hide into that
bonus pool money. we am positively not here to make adult the
numbers, we wish to win since it would spin turn a
disappointing season."
