Gorilla Golf Blog reports from Crans-Montana, Switzerland

The final of the 65th Omega Masters Open in Crans-sur-Sierre golf club, Switzerland proved to be the most dramatic in years. This luxurious mountain resort,  has seen Severiano Ballesteros (for whom the golf course is named), José Maria Olazabal and Sergio Garcia, Scotland’s Colin Montgomerie, South Africa’s Ernie Els and Britain’s Lee Westwood, currently the world’s no. 2, win the coveted trophy. In 2010, Spain’s Miguel Angel Jiménez added his name to this prestigious list.  Since 2009, the Omega European Masters, has offered prize money of 2 million Euros.

Thomas Björn took home top honors with a score of 264 for the fours days, 20 under par – which included a charge of nine under for the last day of the competition! And a crowd-winning birdie in the rain on the 18th hole.

On his heels were none other than Martin Kaymer, Rory Mcilroy, Jamie Donaldson, Fredrik Andersson Hed, David Lynn and Lee Westwood.

Great tournament, great setting, great champion.

With thanks to the Omega Masters website.
