The Arcos Gardens European Challenge - Day 3
Day 3 of 3
13th October 2006
Friday the 13th saw the local "levante" wind blow making it a difficult day for all. The course designed with the prevailing wind in mind showed all its defences as not one player managed to go under par. The best round of the day came from Portugal's, Antonio Rosado, who showed fine control to finish with a level par 72. His score helped his country to retain first place however England managed to dig deep to force a tie. In the spirit of this event prizes where awarded to both teams and the result tied.
On lookers where very impressed with Portugal's Pedro Figueiredo, at only 15 years of age, he is certainly one to watch.
However, Oliver Fisher was the player of the week winning the individual by 3 clear shots. In his winners speech he thanked Arcos Gardens for holding this event adding that he really enjoyed the course.
We wish all the players good luck for the up coming Eisenhower Trophy in South Africa.
