It’s the penultimate week for the 2008 European Tour season with the first staging of the Castellon Masters – Costa Azahar.
Sergio Garcia will be hoping to win the event at the course he is attached to – the Club de Golf del Meditterraneo. Should Garica manage this, he would follow Makus Brier (2006 BA-CA Golf Open presented by Telekom Austria at Fontana) and Graeme McDowell (2002 Scandinavian Masters at Kungsängen), in winning European Tour events at the golf clubs they represent during the time of their victory.
Club de Golf del Meditterraneo is hosting a European Tour event for the first time. Having hosted the Oki Castellón Open de España Senior between 2005-07 this golf course is no stranger to holding European Seniors Tour events. The final event of the 2008 Seniors Tour will also be held at Club de Golf del Meditterraneo.
The venue, designed by Ramon Espinosa has undertaken major refurbishement during recent years. The 30 year old venue has implemented a new irrigation system.
Whatever this week’s result, it will not have an affect on the top few positions in the European Order fo Merit. However, we’re sure the £2.5M prize fund will ensure an eager contest.
Oliver Fisher will enter the tournament on the back of good form last week in Portugal. He’ll be looking to progress from his 5 under par last Sunday.
