TaylorMade-adidas Tour Staff Professional Christian Cévaër wins the European Open
TaylorMade-adidas Golf Tour Staff Professional Christian Cévaër relied on TaylorMade and adidas Golf equipment in his victory on the European Tour on Sunday.
Cévaër, No. 449 in the Official World Golf Rankings, hung in at the demanding London Golf Club and grinded out a one-shot win in The European Open, one of the most prestigious events on the European Tour Schedule.
While several of his challengers fell victim to the 471-yard par-four 18th hole on the final day, which played to an average of almost 4.7 for the week, Cévaër negotiated it in par, par, birdie, par. His four on 18 on Sunday was particularly critical: Tied for the lead with two others, Cévaër, playing a TP Black LDP, drove safely with his R9 driver then used a Rescue TP hybrid to hit the green safely in regulation. His pursuers, meanwhile, drove off-line and failed to make four.
Cévaër's two-putt par gave him the title, which carries a five year exemption on the European Tour. With the win, Cévaër moved up more than 300 spots in the world rankings to No. 129.
TaylorMade's LDP technology promotes improved distance on the most common driver off-centre hits and helps make TaylorMade TP balls (including TP Black™ and TP Red™) exceptionally resistant to the effects of headwinds and crosswinds.
The win was the 12th worldwide for the TaylorMade TP golf ball and the 16th for the Tour Preferred irons in 2009. Also at the European Open the TaylorMade TP ball broke TaylorMade's ball count record with 30 in play reaffirming it's position as the No. 2 ball on the European Tour.
