Thongchai Jaidee mengejar impiannya pada kancah PGA TOUR Champions dan ajang Major.<\/h3>\n

Pekan ini, pegolf veteran asal Thailand Thongchai Jaidee akan melengkapi kariernya ketika memulai KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship di Southern Hills, di Tulsa, Oklahoma mulai hari ini (27\/5).<\/p>\n

Dalam usia 51 tahun, kariernya masih jauh dari selesai, mengingat kini ia mengejar trofi pada kancah PGA TOUR Champions.<\/p>\n

Penampilannya di Southern Hills pekan ini untuk debutya pada ajang Major senior bakal mengembalikan kenangan manis ketika ia melakoni debut Major pada U.S. Open 2001, yang kala itu juga dimainkan di Tulsa. Kemudian, ia menjadi pegolf Thailand pertama yang bisa bermain penuh selama empat putaran pada U.S. Open, finis T74, yang terbukti menjadi awal dari kariernya yang gemilang. Ia kemudian meraih tiga gelar Order of Merit Asian Tour dan delapan gelar European Tour.<\/p>\n

\u201dDua puluh tahun lalu saya berada di sini dan saya ingat menikmatinya dan bersemangat menjadi pegolf Thailand pertama yang lolos untuk U.S. Open. Jika melihatnya sekarang, lolos cut merupakan salah satu sorotan dalam karier saya,\u201d ujar Thongchai.<\/p>\n

\u201dMengingat pekan ini merupakan ajang Major bagi pemain senior, jadi suasananya agak berbeda, tapi saya masih bermimpi bisa memenangkan kejuaraan Major, meskipun ini Major kaum senior. Permainan saya rasanya oke dan saya paham mesti bermain bagus di lapangan yang bagus dan sulit ini.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legenda Asia ini telah mulai berkompetisi pada kancah PGA TOUR Champions 2021 dua pekan silam. Kala itu ia finis T26 pada ajang Mitsubishi Electric Classic<\/strong><\/a>. Ia berusaha mengejar penampilan yang hilang setelah terpaksa tertahan di Thailand sepanjang 2020 lantaran COVID-19, yang membuatnya tak dapat mengikuti 16 turnamen. Ia sendiri meraih hak bermain pada sirkuit senior ini setelah finis di tempat kedua pada Qualifying School.<\/p>\n

\u201dSaya pikir saya berpeluang memenangkan Major dalam karier senior saya. … Saya menjaga tubuh tetap sehat, mencurahkan 6-7 jam untuk latihan dan fokus pada short game dan belajar untuk menyimpan energi.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thongchai tahu bahwa ia tak lagi menghabiskan berjam-jam di driving range atau pusat kebugaran untuk mengasah kemampuan dan kebugaran fisiknya. Ia memilih mengandalkan teknologi yang ia akui bisa membantunya menikmati karier di sirkuit bagi para pegolf berusia 50 tahun ke atas.<\/p>\n

\u201dSaya pikir saya berpeluang memenangkan Major dalam karier senior saya. Itu target kunci saya. Sudah pasti saya mesti main bagus dan saat ini ada banyak pemain bagus. Saya bisa berlatih 10, 11 jam per hari, tapi sekarang tidak lagi. Saya menjaga tubuh tetap sehat, mencurahkan 6-7 jam untuk latihan dan fokus pada short game dan belajar untuk menyimpan energi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Salah satu kekecewaan dalam kariernya ialah ia tak bisa sering gbersaing dalam ajang Major pada puncak kariernya. Prestasi Major terbaik dari 32 penampilannya pada ajang Major, ialah finis T13 pada Open Championship 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201dSaya berusaha keras untuk memenangkan Major, sayangnya hal itu tidak mungkin terpenuhi. Ada peluang pada British Open pada tahun ketika Stewart Cink menang (Thongchai finis empat stroke di belakang Cink). Saya ingat mengalami performa putting yang buruk karena saya harus melakukan lima atau enam putt waktu itu,\u201d kenangnya.<\/p>\n

\u201dSaya masih menikmati berkompetisi, menikmati bermain golf dan bermain dalam sebuah turnamen. Seperti kita lihat minggu lalu dengan Phil (Mickelson) menjuarai PGA, apapun bisa terjadi di golf. Belakangan ini, kami memiliki perangkat yang bagus ketimbang 20 tahun lalu dan Anda bisa mempertahankan jarak pukul, yang memberi saya keyakinan untuk mengetahui bahwa saya masih bisa bersaing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ketika Thongchai tampil pertama kalinya di Southern Hills tahuan 2001 itu, ia menciptakan geger lantaran memberi tahu media bahwa ia memilih tidur di lantai kamar hotelnya yang senilai US$200 per malam lantaran kasurnya \u201dterlalu empuk\u201d supaya bisa menjaga punggungnya. Namun, pekan ini ia tinggal bersama teman baiknya.<\/p>\n

\u201dSaya sudah makin tua, jadi sekarang saya tidur di kasur. Mike (temannya) memastikan saya mendapatkan kasur yang bagus dan cukup keras dan punggung saya terasa lebih baik belakangan ini,\u201d tandasnya.<\/p>\n
