Golfers from all over Europe took up the invitation to head to La Manga Club to bring the curtain down on another successful year on the fairways for Spain’s flagship resort at its season-ending La Manga Club Golf Open.

An established part of the resort’s golfing calendar, the annual 54-hole competition was being held for the 19th time and attracted another impressive international entry, with around 200 players from countries including the UK, France, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Lithuania and the host nation taking the chance to catch up with old friends on and off the course in Murcia.

Taking place on La Manga Club’s iconic North and South courses, men and women of all ages competed in various categories over five days for a collection of glittering prizes from sponsors El Corte Inglés and Land Rover.

Defending champion Ian McMeekin was seeking a hat-trick of titles in the men’s event but finished down the field as Swiss-based Argentinian Marcelo Bottini took overall victory with a total of 100 Stableford points, while Linda Savage took success in the ladies’ overall competition with a final tally of 94 points.
