Finns dominate at 30th British Open

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. More details on the Quarry Park website

Del wins, watched by Wee Ben
By winning his fourth consecutive BDGA Tour event at The Scottish Open on the Isle of Mull, Derek Robins has all but retained the title of British Champion. Theoretically, in this “best four from nine” Tour, he could still be overhauled if either Jester Wilson (or Matt Cutler) won the remaining four events, but in reality these two will now be competing (with others) for second place.
“Wee” Ben Bruce became the first Junior Junior (age 12 and under) to win a Divisional title, by defeating USA’s Jesse Denny in the Advanced Amateurs, while the Intermediate Amateur Sheep Trophy was appropriately taken by local crofter Johnny Simpson.
High winds throughout, and heavy rain on Sunday, made for extreme playing conditions that will live for many years in the players' memories (and nightmares). Full results are here, and there's a gallery of photos on the highlandflingers website.

Andy Cotgreave won an equally thrilling Advanced Amateurs, while Paul Holden took the Intermediate Amateur title.
