It was the golf day of my life, reported the 12th Mrůzek. Czech golfers broke their limits at home

The seventh edition of the European Tour golf tournament is already in the past. The D+D Real Czech Masters offered the Czech spectator at Albatross an unusual and pleasant spectacle. Czech golf is finally starting to break onto the world stage.

Ondřej Lieser became the first such swallow. Last year he became the first Czech golfer to win on the Challenge Tour by winning the Andalucía Challenge de España, and the first Czech golfer to win a full playing card on the European Tour.

Seeing Czech golfers in weekend rounds is a rare thing indeed. Visitors to Albatross Golf Resort, however, witnessed a historic moment when a foursome of local patriots walked the course on Saturday and Sunday.

The line-up was Aleš Kořínek, Filip Mrůzek, Ondřej Lieser and Matyáš Zapletal. This foursome pleased the Czech fans the most in Albatross near Prague. Never in the past have more of them made it to the final rounds.

Ondřej Lieser, a recent participant of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, had the best tournament of all, and after the first day he was in third position with a score of -4. However, his next rounds were less successful and he finished the tournament three shots over par.

“It was a terrible fight on the course. I tried not to leave a single shot out there, but it’s the same thing over and over again. I keep making mistakes and I just keep saving myself,” Lieser explained to golf.cz after the tournament.

His colleague Filip Mrůzek was definitely happier after the tournament. He finished tied for 12th place with a total score of -8, the best ever for a Czech golfer on the European Tour.

“It was probably the golf day of my life. I’ve played lower scores before, yes, but five shots under par here on this course, that must be pretty good golf. The course is tough, long, tricky pin positions, but it was an amazing round for me. The golf was totally flawless,” Mrůzek said after the tournament, happy with his game and the result.

The title from the Czech Republic goes to American Johannes Veerman. In the final drama he showed much more composure than his opponent Tapia Pulkkanen from Finland. The northerner completely messed up the last hole when he sent the ball into the water after an inaccurate first shot.
