The winning score was an excellent 72 by Tuomo Paavola of Kymen Golf who has been consistently in the leading group of Players Tour (formerly Audi Tour) players over the past 2 seasons but has maybe not won as many events as his consistently good scores would deserve, so this was a win which was definitely well earned. Jani Savukoski, another player who has been very much in the top 5 or 6 on the tour over the past 18 months, was left in second place after unfortunately making a double bogey on the 18th.
Two Kytäjä players made it into the top 10, Andy Fowlie had a 79 (44-35) for 6th place and Petri Syrjänen was one shot further back in 8th place. Jouko Hartikainen scored 95 (T65th).
Andy's comments:
As usual at Nordcenter things did not go smoothly. This time I actually hit the ball pretty well, hitting 14 greens in regulation... and on two of the other holes I got up and down... but my putting was awful (38 putts) and I made a mess of the 9th hole (triple bogey). After going out in a nightmare score of 44 (despite 7 green hits) I was pretty satisfied with the back nine of 35 which just allowed me to get into the prizes in 6th place. I still cant say that I have ever played the Fream course well... but at least I broke 80 this time and somehow came away with a prize (a Sun Mountain golf bag)... maybe I am gettign the hang of that place.
