23/10 - Next up Cyprus
Björk will travel to the west coast of Cyprus,
to the town of Paphos, early next week. The players will compete
on Aphrodite Hills Resort two weeks in a row in two different
tournaments. Then, European Tour is actually moving towards the
end of the season. After Cyprus, there are tournaments in South
Africa (unclear if possible to realize) and then it's only
the Dubai final left. Hopefully next season will be more as usual!
9/10 - Short story
Finishing birdie-eagle during the first round of
BMW PGA Championship in London wasn't enought to be anywhere close
to the top. Björk had a tough first day and scored +5. Too many
bogeys put him in this position, Positive and a fighter, as he always is,
he turned it around and scored -1 during the second round, finishing birdie-birdie.
Although it was not close to making the cut, it shows the right attitude and
now it's only for Björk to go back home for some practice, before
getting back on tour again, When this is, will be updated on soon.
5/10 - Top 20 Scottish Open
Scottish Open turned out to be an exciting tournament
with many ups and downs for most of the players in the starting field.
Rainy and windy days combined with calm clear skies on other days
got reflected in the results as well. Björk had a really great start
and most of the tournament he played very well. Unfortunately the results
on a few holes, together with some missed birdie opportunities, cut him off
from thw very top. He showed that he has the highest level within him
though and hopefully he can keep it during all four days another
time this season.
