However, the 37-year-old Caldwell recently earned his maiden European Tour victory one start prior at the Scandinavian Mixed Hosted by Henrik & Annika in Gothenburg, Sweden. The World No. 219 entered the final day three shots off the lead but carded a closing-round 64 to get to 17 under and win by a stroke over Spain’s Adrian Otaegui. “(The victory) gave me great confidence to win, and to know that I can win now is massive,” he told media on Wednesday. “Hopefully I’ll have plenty more chances, and I can feed off that win a couple weeks ago.” Caldwell added that he hopes to draw on previous experience at Mount Juliet: “The last time I played was probably 15 years ago. So, I do remember a lot of the holes and a lot of the shots. Course is in tremendous condition. Obviously, the weather has been fantastic the last week or two here at home. I think it’s going to be great the rest of the week. I hope it dries out a wee bit and get a bit of bounce in the fairways and the greens and toughen it up a little bit.” This season overall, Caldwell is 6-of-12 in cuts made.
