Last week Backawinners our man Garrick Higgo $400/1 each way steadily advanced through the field almost mistake free until the 71st green where after a superb iron shot, he missed the short birdie putt. From the long rough on the last he could only manage a par which left him one behind the pair tied for the lead. A $101 place Bet was won, but the big prize eluded us. Cody Gribble $680 also challenged.

In other events Lindy Duncan ($940), tipped a special, competed strongly for the first three rounds but needed to match her 36 hole score to have a real chance of winning.

This week we have four events to consider.

Spanish Open

The European Tour heads to the Iberian peninsula for the first of four events, the Acciona Spanish Open, to be held at the Javier de Arana designed Club Campo Villa de Madrid, a 7112 yard (6374m) par 71 with an easy Slope of 110 and a Cr of 70 expect fireworks this week.
