This week’s Scandinavian Mixed Hosted by Henrik Stenson and Annika Sorenstam showcases 78 male players from the European Tour and 78 females representing the Ladies European Tour in a format virtually identical to that adopted by The Players Series events on the PGA Tour of Australasia earlier this year.

Kyriacou and Whitney Hillier are the two Australian women in the field while Scott Hend, Jason Scrivener, Maverick Antcliff and Jake McLeod are the Aussie men teeing it up along with Kiwis Ryan Fox and Josh Geary.

Admitting that she has struggled to meet her own high expectations in her first two events of the Ladies European Tour season, Kyriacou recently reached out to Webb as to how best manage her emotional state on the golf course.

The 20-year-old intends to put that into practice this week in her quest to win a tournament bearing the names of Swedish legends Annika Sorenstam and Henrik Stenson.

“The first couple of events I was thinking that I had to win. I wanted to win early to prove that I’m still good,” said Kyriacou, who was fourth at the Ladies Italian Open two weeks ago and turned professional after winning the Ladies Classic at Bonville last February.

“I’d miss a couple of putts and get really angry and then realise after the round how stupid I was being.

“I messaged Karrie to ask for a few tips of what she did back in her day and she gave me a few things that I’m going to take into this week.

“She told me there is a very fine line between expectations and goals and you have to define them.

“She also said to stay in the present. Do a couple of breathing exercises and she said she used to close her eyes and listen to the different sounds and try and figure out what they were to get her mind off everything else.

“Hopefully I’ll be in the final group and be able to use that one this week.”

Kyriacou led after the opening round of The Players Series Sydney but failed to make the cut, citing nerves not at the position she found herself in on the leaderboard but the people she was playing in front of.

Close to 150 family and friends ventured out to Bonnie Doon for the second round to watch Kyriacou in person for the first time since turning professional and trying to perform for them got the better of her.

“It was the first time that people had seen me play at home and I felt the pressure of playing good in front of them rather than the pressure of leading,” she said.

“I didn’t care that I was leading, I just wanted to impress everyone. I got nervous and started getting tense and it was just crap.

“By the seventh or eighth hole I’d settled in and was playing quite well but just getting a bit of bad luck.”

With a familiar format and a golf course that reminds her of host course of the ISPS HANDA Vic Open, Thirteenth Beach Golf Links, Kyriacou believes that the set-up could benefit the women in the field this week.

“I feel like the course is short for us but the greens are so firm,” Kyriacou said.

“The par 5s are reachable – every single one of them – but if you don’t get on the green it’s not an easy chip.

“The greens aren’t too quick which is good but they’re tricky.

“You have to pick a landing spot on these greens. Even with a wedge you still have to land it four or five metres short of the flag.

“It will be interesting to see the scores actually because you could definitely go low but if you’re off a little bit you can have a high score as well.”
