Peter Hedblom says he's living a fairytale Peter Hedblom believes in fairytales; he's seen them play out on the golf course before. The Swede is leading the Perth International golf tournament at the Lake Karrinyup County Club at the half-way mark. I don't really have anything to lose And he knows that only a win in the US$2million European PGA co-sanctioned event will allow him to keep his Tour card for 2014. The A$297,000 first prize purse comes with a two year exemption on the Tour for Hedblom. But he goes in to the weekend with confidence and not just because he leads the field by two strokes. He's seen first-hand that people can make the most of final chances. If I have a good tournament - if I finish third, fourth - that would be of course good, but that doesn't really mean anything right now. I need to win," he said. I don't really have anything to lose. If I want to play another year, full year on Tour, I need to win. So you just have to go for it and have fun. And I think that actually calms me down a little bit. I don't really have to play for second or third I love fairytales. One of my best friends on Tour, or my best friend on Tour, Michael Jonzon; he was like me, way back and needed to win. I think he needed top three in Castelló in 2009, which was his last tournament, and he won it. That was a fairy tale story. The best thing with that story was the week after, he had holiday; he had already booked a holiday with his family. Continuing the comparison with his countryman, Hedblom also has a holiday booked with his family two weeks after the completion of the Perth International. Going in to the weekend of the tournament in which he missed the cut last year, he's happy to be leading the pack. Of the more fancied names in the field, defending champion Bo van Pelt is in the best position. After a second round of 71, the American is four shots from the lead. The world's number 21 Dustin Johnson struggled off the tee yesterday to card a second round of 74 to be six shots from Hedblom. South African Brendan Grace is three shots further adrift while England's Paul Casey failed to make the cut. "I actually feel; I think I'm better when I'm up in the lead than trying to shoot a low score to try to get into the lead," Hedblom said. So I don't know, I think I'm a better par putter than a birdie putter. I think it suits more when you have the lead, if you shoot 1 , 2 , 3-under every day, the last two rounds, it's going to be pretty good. But the 43 year old hopes that rain forecast in Perth for the weekend holds off. "I mean, I think for me - I actually like it like it is now," he said. I think I like a fast course. I've always been better on fast, hard golf courses, like this one is playing right now. I think that suits me. Hopefully it doesn't rain too much.
