In last weekend's Quarry Park Open, each division had their first victory at the event. In strong and gusty winds, 52 players duke it out over 3 rounds. Read on for more details....

The Finnish players were in fine form at Quarry Park for the 30th British Open on the weekend of 31st May - 1st June. The 2008 British Open Champion is Ville Piippo; the Masters Division champion is Kari Vesala; and the Womens Champion is Anne Matilainen, all from Finland. Going into the Final, Piippo had a comfortable lead over Sweden's Robert Buzasy. There was quite a battle for 3rd place, though, and England's Derek Robins managed to catch Pascal Thioux (Belgium) to share 3rd place. Scotland's Jester Wilson was 5th.
