El Bosque Open

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The El Bosque Open was a golf tournament which featured on the European Tour schedule just once. It was held at El Bosque Golf & Country Club, Valencia, Spain from 5 April to 8 April 1990 and was won by Vijay Singh of Fiji, who later become the World's Number 1 golfer. It was Singh's second title on the European Tour and he shot a ten under par of 278 to win by two strokes from the Englishmen Richard Boxall and Chris Williams.

In May 2008, the course was proud to welcome the 8th stage of the OMA Centennial, an illustrious travelling annual European tournament among Maastricht University's most gifted Golfing and Rugby playing alumni. Following an unprecedented display of concentration and composure whilst in a highly intoxicated state, the cup was defended by Xander Friedländer for a third time in a row to strengthen his lead in the OMA centennial race. A commendable performance was on display by Mr. Roger Baltes, who marked his third appearance by hitting the ball over 250m straight onto the thirteenth fairway to celebrate his fifth place in the overall rankings. Mr. Rein Godding won the most attractive ladies cup for the 10th time in row by impressing local chica's with his enormous big hit.
