Pettersen and Roberts Optimistic About Season's First Major



2016年3月30日，加利福尼亚 （香港高尔夫新闻专线）- 本周在加州兰乔米拉市，年度首场女子大满贯全日空锦标赛开战，挪威明星球手苏珊·皮特森目前排名领先。
CALIFORNIA, 30 Mar 2016 (HK Golfer News Wire) - The Norwegian star is among the leading contenders at the ANA Inspiration, the first Major of the season in women’s golf, at Rancho Mirage in California.

罗志显长驻香港，三月初在新加坡的汇丰女子冠军赛上开始指导皮特森，这周更是全程陪伴，倾心相助。
Hong Kong-based Roberts has been at her side all week, continuing the coaching role he began at the HSBC Women’s Champions in Singapore in early March.

“很荣幸受到罗志显指点，我感到受益匪浅，”皮特森说。“能够成功晋级，我非常高兴，这也让我更加期待接下来四天的比赛。”
“It’s been great having Iain here as I work on my game and I’ve certainly felt the benefit of his input this week,” said Pettersen. “I’m feeling good heading into this tournament and I’m looking forward to the next four days.”


汇丰女子冠军赛皮特森以并列第九收官。在上周加州卡尔斯巴德市举行的起亚精英赛上，皮特森与前十擦肩而过。去年六月的宏利LPGA精英赛上，皮特森一举夺冠。
Pettersen finished tied ninth at the HSBC Women’s Champions and narrowly missed a top-10 finish in last week’s Kia Classic in Carlsbad, California. Her last victory came in the Manulife LPGA Classic last June.

罗志显认为皮特森状态渐佳，有望回到两次大满贯黄金时期 - 2007年，皮特森在LPGA锦标赛上获得职业生涯的第一个大满贯。2013年，她斩获依云锦标赛冠军头衔，获得第二个大满贯。同年，她的排名上升到世界第二，达到个人职业生涯巅峰。
Roberts believes his star pupil is working her way back to the form that brought her two Majors – the 2007 LPGA Championship and 2013 Evian Championship – and a career-high world No.2 ranking.

“苏珊不仅像其他精英球手一样天赋异禀，训练起来更是全心投入，”罗志显谈到。“和苏珊一起工作十分愉快，我们这周收获颇丰。现在我们的目标就是把练习时的状态带到比赛之中。”
“Suzann is not only talented, as all players are at this level, but totally dedicated in her work ethic and approach to the game,” he said.
“She’s a joy to work with and we’ve had a productive week. Now the goal is to replicate in the tournament what she’s been doing day in, day out in practice.”

在本届全日空锦标赛中，地点位于兰乔米拉市的Mission Hills乡村俱乐部。尽管与罗志显任集团执行董事的Mission Hills同名，但是它与中国的这个球会其实并无关系。本届全日空锦标赛规模浩大，高坛大咖纷纷现身兰乔米拉市的Mission Hills乡村俱乐部，世界排名前二十中仅有一位缺席。
Nineteen of the world’s top 20 are teeing it up in the ANA Inspiration at Rancho Mirage’s Mission Hills Country Club – no relation to the club of the same name in China where Roberts is Group Executive Director.

罗志显，世界第一大球会—中国观澜湖执行董事，亚洲顶级高尔夫教练和管理者，去年荣膺PGA职业大师教练称号，目前全球仅有38人享此殊荣。
Roberts is renowned as one of Asia’s premier golf tutors and administrators. Last year he was honoured as a Master Professional by the PGA of Great Britain and Ireland, one of only 38 members worldwide to achieve such status.

两人结缘于海口观澜湖，皮特森经常过去参加大型赛事，并在那儿拿下了2013年世界女子锦标赛冠军，该比赛也是女子欧巡赛。
He first met Pettersen though her regular visits to Mission Hills Haikou in Hainan, China, where she won the World Ladies Championship, a Ladies European Tour event, in 2013.
