Lumine Mediterránea Beach & Golf Community welcomed the return of the prestigious PGAs of Europe Fourball Championship last week.
Sixty six pairs competed over the Greg Norman designed LUMINE Lakes course and the LUMINE Hills course, just 36 of the 45 holes at the European Tour School Qualifying venue that was selected for a second consecutive year as host.
Following 54-holes of close competition, it was the Austrian combination of Uli Weinhandl and Jurgen Maurer who took home the €4,500 first prize after carding a total of 21-under-par, aided by a spectacular hole-in-one in the first round.
The English pair of Mark Ridley and David Clark finished just one shot behind despite making an eagle on the final hole.
“It has been an honor for us to welcome back some of the leading PGA Professionals in golf this week and build upon our relationship with the PGAs of Europe,” commented Calle Carlsson, General Manager, Lumine Golf Club.
“The growth of the event in 2013 is demonstrative of the success and allure of the comprehensive golf and leisure offering we have here, and reflects upon our long-term strategy of growing the venue on an international scale.”
PGAs of Europe Chief Executive, Ian Randell said; “We were delighted to return to Lumine for the PGAs of Europe Fourball Championship where the courses and off-course facilities are consistently in prime condition. Playing across both the Lakes and Hills courses enabled us to invite an expanded field of 66 pairs for welcome spring time competition for many PGA Professionals.”
