A roque road for Fasth
Niclas Fasth woon the Spanish Open at the 4th extra hole of a sudden death play off at the San Roque Club. He beat England's John Bickerton who had managed to force himself into the play-off with a 63 in the final round which included 9 birdies and no dropped shots. To be honest Fasth should have won the title during regulation play as he had a 2 shot lead with 2 holes to play but then bogeyed the 17th and 18th to tie with Bickerton.
There was also a play-off required to decide the winner of teh Challenge Tour's Tessali-Metaponto Open di Puglia e Basilicata. France's Snobeck was victorious in this beating Wales's Sullivan at the first extra hole. This was Snobeck's first Challenge tour victory.
Riikka Hakkarainen was victorious in the Teneriffe Ladies Open with a 72 hole total of level par. England's kirsty Taylor dropped to 3 over par with a final round of 77 (5 over par).
I hope you all had a good weekend of golf and although I'm sure there will have been mixed success don't worry as next week it might be better and the whole season is still ahead to improve... well at least for those in the Northern Hemisphere.
Keep Swinging

That's a really good finish for Bickerton; San Roque isn't easy, so a bogey-free round (which is always good) is particularly impressive; 63 is fantastic shooting! But Fasth deserved the victory; he'll be an asset if he plays for Europe in Ryder Cup in September.

p.s. good pun; you might say, he didn't take the fasthest route to victory, requiring a play-off!
