Matthew Zions wins the 15th edition !19/06/2011

Leading party this morning thanks to his seizure of power at the conclusion of the 3rd tour, australian Matthew Zions gains the 15th edition of the Open de Saint-Omer, and an attractive 100 000-euro check. He knew how to manage the pressure which surrounds generally the leader who approaches the final tour in head. With 3 knocks beforehand on the second yesterday, we thought that most hard was made and that he just had " to assure " the par. But it was bad to know this 32-year-old professional who, in spite of a strong wind, didn't hesitate to take risks. Result, he ends in 6 knocks in front of his prosecutors Daniel Denison, Craig Lee and Peter Gustafsson. 

Victor Dubuisson in first French.
With a score of -2 today, Victor Dubuisson is the first French to position in the final classification, on the 12th place. The first tour in 75 (+4) will leave doubtless quite a lot of regrets. Julien Guerrier 17th, François Calmels and Julien Grillon 24th complete the podium of the French.

A hole in one in 17!

If the majority of the present spectators logically followed the pretenders in the title in their battle, it's in David Dixon's passage in the hole n°17 that it was necessary to be today. A magnificent iron blow 7 on 191 meters to realize the only hole in one of the tournament. With this blow, English so proved that its victory in 2008 wasn't a trickery.

It's with this coronation of the Australian that ends the 15th edition of the Open de Saint-Omer. If there was only a single thing to be held ? Meeting next year!

The cut fell !17/06/2011

For other players, the important thus was to appear in 65 first ones and ex æquo at the conclusion of the second tour. In the end, 77 players were qualified.

To note in this cut, the qualification with difficulty of Martin Wiegele. The proverb according to which none of the Open’s winners succeeded in taking away it twice seems left well to come true still on this 15th edition. Finally, China placed its only representative in the qualified players, because Mu Hu crossed the cut.

Zoom on French

Benoît Teilleria, who had ended second yesterday, didn’t really manage to reproduce the same course as yesterday. By returning a card in +5, he ends at the 32nd place. Johann Lopez Lazaro, 3rd French, returned well as for him the situation. Stayed in +4 yesterday evening, he realizes - 3 today which allows him to cross the cut, by raising more than 60 places! All in all, 10 French will thus be still present this weekend. This weekend which will be slightly modified, because tomorrow, because of gusts of wind planned on the route, the player’s departures will be advanced at 7h am. 

Coetzee in head, Wiegele in trouble16/06/2011

Very early this morning officially dashed the 15th edition of the Open de Saint-Omer. Among the first persons starters, Martin Wiegele (winner of the 14th edition) doubtless appeared among the most expected. Regrettably for him, its departure goes seems to complicate him the task in its prospect to reconquer the title for the second time. With two double bogeys, the Austrian clocks this evening on the 85th place. It will be necessary to him to realize quite a different course tomorrow to be able to cross the decisive cut at the conclusion of the 2nd tour, where the professionals will not be then more than half in the race to compete for the final phases.

As for the performances, it ‘s George Coetzee who knew how to best tame the route, displaying at the top of the first day by realizing a score of -5.

The French clan in working order

With 26 French at first, France hopes it can indeed appear in good position in the final classification of the tournament. If we shall count the number of French chances after the cut of tomorrow evening, today the pleasant surprise came from Benoît Teilleria, who with a score of -3, is classified in the 2nd position.

Around Pierre Wolf, and in front of about sixty persons, quality participants stemming from various domains were exchanged the word around two themes:

            Why to promote the physical and sports activity in enterprise?

            What solutions to develop it ?

Christophe Popineau, Jean-Marc Dupuis, Laurent Capet, Julien Pierre, Christophe Cathelain, Julien Tabary, Séverine Leduc, Aurélien Danthois, Ludovic Loquet, Haïdy Aron and Elodie Pecqueur formed the list of the specialists to have intervened during the symposium.

All exchanged on the necessity of promoting the physical and sports activity in enterprise, due to the benefactions which it can bring to the employees who devote to it: management of the stress, a better lifestyle, a better ageing, the release or the decompression of the pressures bound to the work, and many others else.

From then on, the leaders of enterprises were attentive to the solutions advanced to set up the practice of the physical and sports activity in enterprise, to allow the employees to bloom otherwise in the work, but also to weave the other links with their hierarchies, once the social place attributed in the enterprise left in the changing room.

For the bravest which wished to face the rain (although the practice is covered), the day ended in an initiation into the golf. Just to stay in the day’s theme, and why not to incite them to come back during Open. Open, it’s in less than a week …
