First and foremost it is important to flag that the event is being played at a different venue this year...so instead of our usual annual outing to Doha GC, we find ourselves at the Education City Golf Club instead! He earned 2013 Big Ten Freshman of the Year and 2015 Big Ten Player of the Year. Shame to still not have any spectators at events since I have so many great memories of being here with family and friends last year but nevertheless, looking forward to another Valderrama adventure - lets get the birdies going! Its a brilliant track here at Diamond Country Club (about an hours drive from Vienna). Thomas DETRY is a Belgian Professional Golfer. This season, Detry has finished runner-up at two European Tour tournaments, while Pieters has finished third at two European Tour events. Pieters and Detry teamed together to win the 2018 World Cup of Golf in Australia, representing Belgium. Those guys, it fit perfectly. : 33T, Puntacana Resort & Club – Puntacana – Dominican Republic, Rounds: 71 72 73 81  ⦿  To Par: +17  ⦿  Pos. But he bogeyed five of the last six holes to quickly fall to the middle of the pack of players who made the weekend cut. Only light showers are predicted before the weekend though so hopefully we will manage to stay dry as long as possible. Some people come here, and it just doesn’t fit. And so that brings us to today. After years of consistent and repetitive travelling, it was truly refreshing to stay in one place for a long period and really have a chance to appreciate some time with my family and friends. Needless to say I was disappointed not to have walked away with a higher finish on the leaderboard but definitely hope to be back again next year! I decided to play in a small Pro Am event at the end of June which was hosted by Andy Sullivan and Paul Waring. Fortunately the breezes are not forecast to get past 10-15 mph speeds on any of the four days…although there are some thundery showers predicted for the opening rounds of play which means the course will likely get soaked with rain at some point! As a matter of fact, this venue has actually already hosted a number of British Masters and English Opens over the years and they’ve maintained a brilliant level of condition since then.It’s a Parkland style course here which displays a bit of variety between the front and back nine layouts. But in all honesty, I can’t see that the USGA had to implement too many extra tactics in order to ensure that it was going to be a tough test of golf for us out here! Both Pieters and Detry have mostly played on the European Tour. Belgian Professional Golfer playing on the European Tour.
