18/10 Strong week in Valderrama
Björk placed himself top 5 in Andalucia Masters last week
during tough playing conditions. The course was in great shape and the greens had
a stimp rating of 13-14. Björk thought is was fun to play the challenging course and
also likes when the greens are very fast. He kept improving during the tournament,
one stroke each round. In the end he was -2, only one stroke from being runner up.
Disappointed, as one stroke would have done alot for the season rankings, Björk is still
fighting for a ticket to the Dubai finals, playing both in Mallorca and Portugal.
14/10 Valderrama
Björk has arrived to Spain and today played the
first round of Andalucia Masters.The tough conditions with lots
of wind were visible on the results and Björk is currently in 22nd spot
with +1, 72. Björk enjoyed playing and got accompanied by friends and family from
home which he always appreciates very much.
4/10 45th in Scotland
Björk enjoyed playing the well-reputed Scottish courses
this weekend and improved from first round's 74 to three rounds under par (69, 70, 71 = total -4).
The best score was on Kingsbarns on the second day. He turned around from being out of the
cut, to be in the game again, something Björk is quite good at doing. Now it's back to
Sweden for a week and then he will be playing the two Spanish tournaments: first at Valderrama
and then on Mallorca. The picture below is from the same tournament, but in 2018.
29/9 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship
Björk is currently in Scotland, ready to play tomorrow at 11.12.
The tournament is quite interesting, being held on both Old Course St. Andrews, Carnoustie
and Kingsbarns. The players are also mixed with amateurs participating in a parallel team competition
with the pros. The courses are challenging, specially the bunkers with its steep edges.
Björk starts playing Carnoustie, then Kingsbarn and eventually St. Andrews.
Let's hope for some good golf this weekend!
