In second place and three shots back, was the PGA of Sweden’s Bjorn Pettersson, after a three-over third round of 74, gave him a total of 214 (E).
“I am pretty pleased with second place…I tried to get it going today, but it was a little bit too tough,’ said the Swede.
“I knew Lorenzo [Gagli] was going to post a decent number…I tried my best, but it wasn’t enough. It was very windy…a lot of crosswinds made it difficult, and it came from the other direction than normal.”
Pettersson started on the 10th and made two bogeys and two birdies to reach the turn in 36 (E), but started to struggle with the high winds and bogeyed holes four, eight and nine.
“It’s been a great week, such a good start for the season…I like being down here and the weather has been pretty decent, and the golf course is always good. For sure [I’ll be back next year]…I love being here at Lumine, so I’m going to be here again.”
Making up the top three was Gagli’s Fourball partner and fellow PGA of Italy Professional, Emanuele Canonica. The Italian cared five bogeys on his front nine, but recovered to come home in 34 (-2) and give him a round of 74, and a total of 217 (+3) for the competition.
The Team Pro-Am competition was won by the team consisting of PGA of France professional, Eric Colletta, and amateurs, Pierre Fedrigo, J Baptiste Montaut and Simon Cohen. The quartet led after all three rounds and carded a fantastic final round Stableford score of 83 points (-11), to give them a total of 256 points (-40).
They were two points clear of the team led by PGA of Great Britain and Ireland professional, Simon Williamson, who also carded a Round 3 score of 83 points for a 254 point total.
“We’re delighted, we played very consistently for all three of the rounds, and we were just pipped at the post...it was nip and tuck, but the better team won in the end,” said Williamson’s team, David Allott, Susan Allott and Brian Gill. “We’ve had a great week, and I think we’re going to do it again next year…it has been really well organised.”
Finishing in third place with 246 points were Itamar Cohen (PGA of Israel), Mordechai Fishman, Arieh Heanig and Zvi Herskoviz.
