Anja Monke, sets Tenerife Ladies Open pace

Sep 24, 2009 No Comments by admin

Golf Costa Adeje was buzzing today as the 2009 Tenerife Ladies Open got underway in perfect conditions. Among the favourites to head the final push for the title is Anja Monke from Germany. The 30 year old from Herford threw down the gauntlet with a 7 under par round, finished in style with a 50 metre chip at the 18th hole. Anja smile was still broad as she spoke to us.

How was your preperation?
I played in the Randstad Open in Arras near Paris last week, I was defending my title but had to settle for joint third. I drove back to Hannover, where I live now, for a few days and then flew in to Tenerife 4 days ago.
Are you happy with the Golf Costa Adeje course?
This is my third time on this course and I warmed up yesterday by teaming up with some German friends in the Pro Am event. I have also played at Abama, Buenavista and Golf del Sur in the past.
Were you pleased with todays first round?
Yes, I felt relaxed and that was a nice way to end the round. There are a lot of very good players here but I will give it my best and see what happens.
