There has always been something about the KLM Open and the Spaniards on the DP World Tour, and now Pablo Larrazabal has nine victories on his home tour, four in the past 14 months.
Already Irish Open and Australian Open champion, Adrian Meronk added the Italian Open to his growing cluster of national titles with victory on Sunday at the Marco Simone Country Club just outside Rome.
The prizemoney was small, but the stage was huge as the Australian Open pulled off the historic first of running a men’s and women’s national championship simultaneously on the same courses. And the payoff for Adrian Meronk’s victory in men’s tournament will be far more valuable than the $306,000 he bagged for defeating local hero Adam Scott in an exciting finish on Melbourne’s famed Sandbelt.
As weekend choppers, there is nothing better than seeing a tour pro do something we do on the weeked, i.e., chunk one, top one, blade one, s-word one, etc.
Adam Scott has let slip a golden opportunity to win a second Australian Open crown, outplayed by big-hitting Polish golfer Adrian Meronk at Victoria GC.
