I promised myself today that I would go out and focus on every shot ahead of me and I did that. I rolled in a few putts here and I hit pretty much all the shots I wanted to hit and walked off with a round of 65 which is very pleasing."The Dane suffered heartbreak at Sandwich in 2003 when leading the Open and when asked if that still haunted him, the Dane replied:“It was eight years ago,“A lot of people have asked me about what I feel about the 2003 Open but as far as I’m concerned it’s in the past.“I’ve worked very hard in my career to get myself in those positions. I got in that position on ’03 and that was my biggest chance to win a Major Championship. I got close in ’05 at (the PGA) at Baltusrol but that (2003) was my biggest chance.“I have always promised myself I’ll keep going and going,” he added. “I don’t at the moment play the golf I used to, but today I did and that’s great.“I look ahead. I always look ahead and there might just be a little bit more in me.” Read our Bet365 review Get your £200 free bet at bet365 now Like Like Post to wall 324 Reads All Golf News Recent Golf Articles Open Championship 2012 Betting – BBC to lose Open coverage?24 Apr 2012Bookmaker William Hill are betting on the future of the BBC’s Open Championship coverage.
