Estoril Open
By looking at the current leaderboard of the Estoril Open de Portugal at Quinta da Marinha, I see some fine weekend prospects for our german plazers Martin Kaymer and Sven Strüver:

Not all top players have finished their round yet, but with a projected cut around +3 / +4 Martin should be safe and sound for the weekend. Sven is three holes into his second round and is level par for the round and one under for the tournament. A solid performance should earn him two more tournament days as well.
Kariem Baraka though has had a rough tournament, after +12 in his first round he added +6 to his scorecard today and is T153. Better luck next time, buddy!

Hi, Alex! Take care not to mix-up the two golf courses face to face at Quinta da Marinha near Cascais. I don’t know, if you know, but there are two completely different 18-hole courses face to face. I’ve played both last june. To have a look at, point to:

The tour event is on the Quinta da Marinha Oitavos Golf Course – with the very much higher greenfee

Much greets, Thomas.
I just took a look at the final result: Martin Kaymer finished in an absolut fabulous third place (tied with 3 others), and Sven Strüver finished T7. Great results for these guys – and a lot of money. Especially since an amateur won the event!
Cool result for Martin and Sven, but after just seeing the report on Eurosport, I am really upset about the commentary. Even if they have to broadcast the international feed, the goddamn german commentator could do more than just mentioning the german players in one sidenote!
