Maiden win for Olivier Rozner

Adamstal Open 2015 powered by EURAM Bank AG

A tournament’s final day couldn’t be more thrilling: The 25 year-old Frenchman Olivier Rozner and German Anton Kirstein played at their best until the end. At the first hole of the play-off the man from Paris secured his maiden win at the Pro Golf Tour 2015. With 199 strokes (-11/70, 63, 66) he also equaled the course record. Rozner and the second placed Kirstein (-11/67, 64, 68) are followed by Jan Cafourek from the Czech Republic (-7).

Ramsau/Austria − At 11:09 a.m. they had teed off togehter, 18 holes later they still battled for the victory. The Adamstal Open 2015 powered by EURAM Bank AG was not for faint-hearted visitors: After 54 holes Kirstein and Rozner both had needed 199 strokes and shared first place. So the winner had to be found in a play-off. ”It was a very amicable duel. We kept talking throughout the hole round”, Rozner said.  The Frenchman who had started the day with a birdie-par-birdie combination tried early to set his opponent under pressure.

On the perfectly prepared course of the GC Adamstal none of them both could make himself stand out. Like last year the 18th hole was set as the play-off’s beginning. “We both hit the ball into the same bunker, but my approach was only two metres away from the flag so I could putt to par. That was enough to win this tournament and of course I am entirely happy now”, Rozner said as he went off to celebrate the victory with his friends. The today’s success also leads him into the Top Ten of the Pro Golf Tour Order of Merit.  

The players won't have much time to take a break. Next Sunday the St. Pölten Pro Golf Tour 2015 (June 6th to 8th) will start in Neidling. The third and last competition in Austria of this season will offer a great opportunity for all participants to close the gap to Order-of-Merit-Leader Benjamin Rusch of Switzerland.
