Meitinger makes it two wins in a row in Turkey
By MATTHIAS LETTENBICHLER
One day after his 26th birthday, German professional Nicolas Meitinger won the Lykia Links Classic today and celebrated his second triumph in two weeks at the Renault EPD Tour's Winter Series at Antalya Golf Club, Belek in southern Turkey.
Last Saturday he won by eight strokes at the Montgomerie Classic. This afternoon, Meitinger had four strokes to spare at the head of the field with a nine-under-par total over the par-72 course of 207. That won him the tournament trophy and 4,814 Euros.
He had rounds of 74, 69 and 64, cramming nine birdies into his final round.
Second place was shared by Stephen Grant from Ireland and Bernd Ritthammer and Max Glauert, both from Germany. Max Kramer from Frankfurt, who had led throughout the first 36 holes, faded on the final day with a 76 - 12 shots more than the winner on the day - to finish joint fifth with another Germany Christoph Gunther and Germany-based son of an English club pro, Ben Parker.
The Lykia Links Classic was the fourth and last tournament of part 1 of the RENAULT EPD Tour Winter Series 2010 that took place in Belek, Turkey. Part 2 starts on February 23 when the professionals tee off at the Al Maaden Classic, the first of a row of three tournaments in Marrakech, Morocco.
