Henry says pressure can make him "feel the buzz" SCOTT Henry is relishing the fact he's in an "uncomfortable" position heading into the Dubai Festival City Challenge Tour Grand Final starting today at Al Badia Golf Club. With the top 15 on the money list on Saturday night securing a step up to the European Tour next season, Henry needs a good week along with Andrew McArthur, the only other Scot to have qualified for the season-ending event. McArthur, who has spent eight of the last nine years on the second-tier circuit, is lying 20th, with just over £4,000 to make up on 15th-ranked Antonio Hortal. Henry, who graduated two years ago before falling agonisingly short of keeping his place at the top table, is a spot below his compatriot and needs around £6,500 to catch the Spaniard. "It's pretty tight from 15 down but I need to have a good week regardless," admitted Henry, who finished runner-up in Madeira then was third in France earlier in the year before seeing his game go off the boil in the business end of the campaign. "I've not had a great six or seven weeks really but, even though my score didn't suggest it, I felt I played a lot better last Sunday," added the former Scottish Open Stroke-Play champion of his 77 in tough conditions in Oman. I felt as though I got something going and I like the course this week - it fits my eye and my game. I've got to have a big result, but I like this sort of situation and it would be nice to put myself into a position on the last day where I am feeling the buzz of the whole thing again. He felt that when winning the Kazakhstan Open two years ago and also when coming within a whisker of making the play-off won by Tommy Fleetwood in the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles last season. "You always draw on the big moments in your career," said Henry. I'm quietly enjoying the position I'm in, even though a lot of guys would prefer not to be feeling this sort of discomfort. When I played in the Grand Final in Italy two years ago, my position was wrapped up then. I knew I was playing European Tour. This time it's about going out and getting the job done. Englishman Andrew Johnson, winner of the Scottish Hydro Challenge at Aviemore in June, tops the money list heading into the Dubai finale but can still be leapfrogged by either Moritz Lampert of Germany and former US Amateur champion Byeong-hun An of Korea. One event already over in the UAE is the MENA Tour Championship, with former Duddingston assistant professional Tom Buchanan finishing third behind Englishman Lee Corfield after a closing 67 at Al Ain.
