Volvo Masters – Club de Golf Valderrama

Volvo Masters Club de Golf Valderrama Sotogrande, Cadiz, Spain.
Robert Karlsson is on the verge of making European Tour history this week by becoming the first Swede to top the Order of Merit. Karlsson currently holds top spot in this year’s schedule with Valderrama being the final destination.

Karlsson leads his Ryder Cup partner Padraig Harrington by nearly €300,000 at the top of the money list, despite back to back major titles by Harrington this year.

39 year old Karlsson has notched up 12 top 10 finishes and also achieved back to back victories in the Mercedes-Benz Championship and the Alfred Dunhill Links, helping the Swede to amass around €2.7M in prize money.

Also in the running to top the money list is Lee Westwood who is third in the Order of Merit, but the 35-year would need to win in Sotogrande to stand any chance of overtaking Karlsson.
