Jul 12—14, 2024
It was a tough week in Andalucía for G-Mac and his team Smash GC. Valderrama showed it’s teeth and from the off it was hard going. Graeme opened with a +4 followed by +6 on Saturday. As always with the Portrush man, he never gives up and pulled out his best round on Sunday with a level par. Onwards!
RESULT: T42
SCORE +4(75), +6(77), E(71), TOT +10
Smash GC finished in 13th postion with a score of +23 (R1 +13, R2 +3, R3 +7 Tot +23)
In the word of his team, “defeat is temporary, grit is forever.”
Course Details
Some holes have a ring to them, right? Amen Corner at Augusta, the Road Hole at St Andrews… and the 17th at Valderrama. This natural amphitheater has become a legend in itself, a sun-drenched setting for comebacks, triple bogeys, even an albatross from our very own Graeme McDowell.
Valderrama, located in Andalucia in southern Spain, is loved by top golfers and fans of the game alike. The pros enjoy the beautifully presented course, which is long, technical and extremely testing. Spectators appreciate the stunning scenery and the chance to see many of the world’s best players up close.
