Ondrej Lieser gave an amazing performance and won the last tournament of the Challenge Tour played on T-Golf and Country Club on Mallorca. Thanks to this win he dominated the Road to Mallorca series and ensured, as a first Czech player, a full EUROPEAN TOUR card.
Ondrej was 3rd before the final round but entered the last round with 2 quick birdies on the opening 2 holes, putting himself at the top of the leaderboard. However, the rest of the round was quite dramatic. Players were fighting for the trophy and at one-point Ondrej was outside of TOP 5. Even with the mounting pressure, he managed to stay strong and hole out an important par put on 17 followed by a birdie on 18, winning the tournament by one stroke. With this win he has fulfilled not only his dreams, but also the dream of Czech golf. This achievement has been long overdue.
It’s amazing that it was Ondrej, an unbelievably talented player who was on a brink of retiring golf 4 years ago, who won. We were fortunate enough to be a part of this incredible Czech achievement and were more that pleased to bring the champion back home to his family. The very family he speaks so nicely about.
Alongside Ondrej, we brought home one of our own ALBGC players, Julien Brunn, who finished an amazing 12th place. Julien was improving throughout the last round and shot one of the best rounds of the tournament (-4). He finished 17th in the series overall and will represent Albatross at the Challenge Tour with his full playing card next year. Julien is a talented player who had an incredible season. He also finished 2nd overall on the Pro Golf Tour. We are confident he will follow Ondrej on to the main Tour soon…
Both players had a sweet treat to end the tournament - a lflight from Mallorca on board of Smartwings private jet.
We'd like to thank both players for great represetnations and we wish then success in the upcoming seasons!
