What began as a balanced and uncertain tournament ended with a very large victory by the Englishman Matthew Baldwin who claimed a simply exceptional final with which he ensured, at the not so young age of 37, his first victory over the DP World Tour, what used to be the European Tour.
Matthew Baldwin, results
The Southport native finished with a run on 68, lowering his score by four further strokes, to finish at -18. For him today five birdies, against only one bogey to close a second part of the match in which he was simply overflowing.
Second place for the Iberian Adri Arnaus who ends up at -11, 7 strokes away from the winning score. Excellent last lap for Arnaus who, with the number 67 hit today, was able to gain eight positions and obtain the best result of the season.
A very large group of players shares the third position: at -10 we find the Norwegian Kristian Krogh Johannessen, the French Antoine Rozner, the Swede Jens Dantorp, the Scot Ewen Ferguson and the landlord Jaco Ahlers. The Rules of Golf are a set of standard rules and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played.
They are jointly written and maintained by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body for golf worldwide, outside of the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association.
An expert commission made up of members of the R&A and USGA, oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision has been in force since January 1, 2016. Changes to the rules of golf generally fall into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that in certain cases reduce penalties to ensure balance.
The rule book, entitled "Rules of Golf", is published on a regular basis and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy it is up to Federgolf to supervise the competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R & A, checking that these rules are observed by the Clubs, Associations and their members and manages the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
