Nicolas Colsaerts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicolas Colsaerts (14 November 1982) is a Belgian professional golf player. He lives in Brussels.
Turned professional in October 2000, Colsaerts has been struggling to become a regular fixture in the European Tour and has played only one tournament in the PGA Tour, the 2004 British Open, where he missed the cut. Mixing high performance rounds with very poor ones, he generally ends somewhere in the pack. He lead the Irish Open at the halfway stage in 2006,[1] but finally ended a disappointing 53th.[2] Similarly, he lead the Scandinavian Open after the third round[3] to end as 24th, 8 holes behind the eventual winner, after the fourth and final round.[4]
