Tough week at work
Some weeks are better than others and during the last few days, margins haven't really been
to the benefits of Björk. 71-69 at Gargagolf in Italy meant a missed cut by two strokes and 68-71 at the US Open
Qualification at Walton Heath Golf Club on monday 4/6, was one shot too much for qualifing. However, that's the game of golf
and Björk is now recharging for BMW International Open in Germany 21 June, followed by the Rolex event HNA Open de France the week after.
