Christian Cevaer, the World Number 449 and without a top 30 finish in his last 15 tournaments, overcame a star studded field to win The European Open in Kent
The Frenchman, who uses a TaylorMade R9 driver, TaylorMade rescue wood and TaylorMade Monza spider putter, had only won one previous tournament on the European Tour, back in 2004 when he won the Open de España.
But after an amazing weekend which saw no fewer than 45 changes of the lead, the 39 year old beat England s Steve Webster, Scot Gary Orr and Spaniard Alvaro Quiros by a shot. That kind of results happen not mostly it is really good for golf game to arrive new stars and with that we can see high level of game because of quality players competition in the game, suppose if only couple of leading player playing in a tournament then there nothing high competition, if no. of quality players are high then competition will also very healthy.
Cevaer s winning total of 281, seven under par, was 13 strokes more than Ross Fisher took on the same The London Golf Club course last year and his 74 was the highest last round by a winner all season. With this win his confidence level is high and ready for the next competitions and now he can play with the confidence and add more titles in his name. So we hope for the more quality game from him in coming tours.
But while Webster and Quiros both became more victims of the 471 yard last when tied for the lead both carved their drives into the crowd, with Quiros hitting spectators with his first and second shots Cevaer kept his nerve.
During the week the par four played to an average of nearly 4.7, with 154 bogeys, 48 doubles and 26 sevens or worse, but Cevaer parred it the first two days, birdied it in the third round and finished with the par he needed.
I m not a long player, but I used my utility club and it worked out great, I am very happy with this win and it will surely starting of my bright career if I ll play professionally and with dedication. Every golfer wants this type of bright start in his career and now I have and with this can add more title in my career Cevaer said.
I made a point that no matter what happened just enjoy my golf, enjoy my skills and hang in there.
He played the front nine in 39 and did not have a birdie until the long 15th, but the problems meant that it brought him back into a share of top spot.
And then three closing pars were good enough to give him the Pound 341,220 first prize easily the biggest of his 16 year professional career.
At 196th on The Race to Dubai entering the week he would have been delighted just to secure his card for next season, but now he has a five year European Tour exemption.
The victory will also lift Cevaer more than 300 places in the world.
