Mark Hensby: Australian Mark Hensby
built 629 days ago
On the holes where Goosen did not hole anything exceptional, then Hensby putted badly. In the morning the Australian missed from four feet on the 9th, three feet on the 10th, five feet on the 11th and six feet on the 16th. If the first two matches of Goosen, the top seed, had gone the full distance he would have played 72 holes. In fact, he has played 54 and so fatigue should not be a factor in his semi-final today against Michael Campbell, who came from four down to beat Steve Elkington at the 37th.
Hensby had helpful advice about how to handle the course during a practice round with 2000 champion Vijay Singh. The pair became friends several years ago when Singh gave Hensby some tips while he was struggling on the range and the Australian has seen another side of the notoriously prickly Fijian.

Last year, Hensby - known for being outspoken - criticized Greg Norman about his contribution to Australian golf before the Australian Open. Allenby and Stuart Appleby reportedly took offense when Hensby's comments were made public, and spoke out in criticism against them.

This year, Hensby told The Australian about the pain he went through after his spat with Norman, which led to a falling out with fellow Victorian Robert Allenby. The pair buried the hatchet this year.
IN THE HUNT: Mark Hensby watches his tee shot at the seventh hole during Saturday’s third round of the Fry’s Electronics Open. Hensby is tied for second behind leader Carl Pettersson going into today’s final round. What made that a surprise was Hensby, an Australian who lives in Mesa, leads that statistical category here this week, with just 80 total putts. That next-to-last putt upset him so much he declined to talk with the media.
