BNI Indonesian Masters Rd 4: What They Said
Jakarta, December 15: Read what players have to say following the final round of the BNI Indonesian Masters supported by Bank BRI and MedcoEnergi on Sunday.
Jazz Janewattananond (Tha) – Final round 65 (-7), Total 265 (-23)
It’s very good to to win the flagship event of the Asian tour. It’s the biggest full-field Asian Tour event of the year. All the good players and here and everyone’s trying to win. It will be a good ending to my season although I still have another tournament to go next week.
After winning in Singapore and broke into top-100, my next goal was top 50. I am really happy to achieve it this week. Maybe next goal is top-40?
I played a lot of times with Gunn, especially in Japan. He has been playing great. I know he’s going to come in strong today. I just need to play my game, you know, like yesterday. If I can kind of replicate that, I know I can win so I just try to keep calm and just putt my way through out there.
I know this golf course can bite you anytime so I didn’t let my guard down until I hit the green on the last hole.This is my best season so far. I get to play not only on the Asiain Tour but also around the world. It’s been a very fulfilling year so I am excited about what lies ahead in 2020. A lot of people say I’m going to be a busy man next year but I think this is good to be busy in golf, so I’m looking forward to it.
A lot of people asked me like how and why am I playing better now. I can’t answer it. It just got better. Everyone in my life has been helping me to this point, especially my parents, they been helping me since I was young. I’m really glad and I’ll get to see them tomorrow so I’m really happy to bring home a trophy.
Gunn Charoenkul (Tha) – Fourth round 69 (-3), Total 270 (-18)
It was tough. I mean, I was hitting them good but he (Jazz) was hitting it way better than I do. I mean I had a lot of mistakes but coming in with birdies too. I’m way behind ball-striking wise, putting and driving. I know why he wins.
We were on each other’s necks for like awhile, and then after that eagle he just took off. I think he found something in this game I guess, and then he was dialed in.
I’m really happy honestly, like the whole year has been very consistent, the most consistent I’ve been throughout my career. I’ve been working really hard on my game last year and I think it worked out really well. And I pretty much found something in my game.
But there’s still a lot of room for improvement to get to where Jazz is, it’s an eye candy to watch him play. I’m really looking forward to next year, I got three weeks off after Thailand Masters and I’m going to grind and hopefully I do win Singapore.
Danny Masrin (Ina) – Final round 66 (-6), Total 273 (-15)
I got to get off to a hot start on that front-nine, because I think that front-nine for me is easier.
Been hitting the ball really well, the key for me has been just my tempo. I have been rolling it really well last few days, it was good to get two birdies in those first three holes there. I had to make some good saves on the front nine.
But yeah, I took advantage of the par-fives which is very important for me, playing them five-under today. And obviously, to finish the way I did is always nice. I hit a big drive, hit a five iron there to about six feet and made eagle. I had to 229 yards to the pin.
Everyone kept telling me at the beginning of the week that I’m safe to keep my card, but I kind of want to make sure I can get into that top 40 or top 45 to really confirm a few more playing rights so I don’t have to wait last minute to get in. So hopefully this does the job for me.
