Bet European Tour Golf Online - Oldest tournament on European Tour ready to start this week in Spain

Thursday, May 17, 2012

Bet European Tour Golf Online: One of the oldest tournaments in golf gets underway this week when the Open de Espana begins May 3-6.

This year’s tournament will celebrate the 40th anniversary of that first event and will no doubt throw up the kind of excitement that has thrilled golf fans for four decades.

Bet European Tour Golf Online - The European Tour 77th Volvo-sponsored event heads to China

Thursday, May 17, 2012

Bet European Golf Online - Matteo Manassero headlines Sicilian Open

Thursday, May 17, 2012

Bet European Golf Online: Matteo Manassero missed out on qualifying for the Masters, but he has already identified the perfect way to make up for missing out on a second Masters Tournament appearance – a victory in front of his own people in this week’s Sicilian Open. The Italian teenager came up short in his bid for a return to Augusta National after finishing sixth in last week’s Trophee Hassan II in Morocco when he needed a victory, but he insists a first European Tour win in his homeland would more than make up for his absence in the season’s first Major Championship.

Bet European Tour Golf Online - Morocco to host European Tour?s Trophee Hassan II

Thursday, May 17, 2012

Bet European Tour Golf Online: The Trophee Hassan II enters its third year in 2012 and returns to Golf du Palais Royal where last year England’s David Horsey recovered from a nervy double bogey at 18 to triumph in a playoff over Jaco van Zyl and 2010 Champion Rhys Davies. The victory was helped in no small part by Horsey’s thrilling hole-in-one at the par three second that would earn him the Shot of the Month for March; an award presented each month on the European Tour. The Trophee Hassan II tournament, which was founded by the late King Hassan II in 1971 and became part of The European Tour International Schedule in 2010, is now supported by the late King’s sons, King Mohammed VI and Prince Moulay Rachid. I wonder if the caddies ride on horses, like knights or if the winner rides off into the sunset with the princess.
