Pyscho Scorecards

Challenge Tour pro shoots 68 without a nine in the 30s. Wait, what?

Aurelien Meunier

In professional golf, few things are more exciting than penciling in a nine-hole score that starts with a 2. On the contrary, few things are more frustrating than penciling in a nine-hole score that starts with a 4.

Challenge Tour pro Jean Bekirian experienced both those feelings at the Open de Bretagne ... in the same round. That's right, the Frenchman posted a two-under 68 in his opening round without a nine-hole score in the 30s, shooting 40 on the front nine at Golf Bluegreen de Pléneuf Val André and 28 on the back nine. 

Here's the thing: Bekirian started his round on the back nine, going eagle-eagle (!!) at the par-4 10th and par-5 11th, then making birdies at 12, 14 and 15 to reach seven under through six holes before finishing par-par-par at 16, 17 and 18. Unfortunately, a disastrous inward nine that included three bogeys and a double bogey spoiled what was looking like a perfect game from Bekirian:

A psycho scorecard if we've ever seen one. At the time, two-under 68 was good enough to keep Bekirian within striking distance of the leaders, but he stumbled in his secound round, shooting four-over 74. He will likely miss the cut, but will always have that eagle-eagle-birdie-par-birdie-birdie start to remember.

The European Challenge Tour has today announced a record-breaking global schedule for the 2022 season which will see the Road to Mallorca’s total prize fund surpass the €8,000,000 mark for the first time. The first 20 players will earn DP World Tour cards for the 2023 season.

The 2022 Road to Mallorca will consist of 31 tournaments staged across three continents in 18 different countries.

It includes a return to Scotland for the first time in four years when the Farmfoods Scottish Challenge supported by The R&A takes place in the final week of May. The event, which will be held in association with 1999 Open Champion Paul Lawrie, will be the first of 19 tournaments in consecutive weeks where the Road to Mallorca will weave through 15 countries and end in France, from September 29 – October 2.

The comeback of the Road to Mallorca to China in the Challenge Tour Schedule 2022.

The Challenge Tour also returns to China for the first time since 2019 with back-to-back events, including the Foshan Open, where players will be given a final chance to earn their spot in the season-ending Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final supported by The R&A.

The Grand Finale of the Challenge Tour 2022 takes another bite from the venue of 2021.

The finale of the 2022 Road to Mallorca will return to Club de Golf Alcanada, the setting for the 2019 Grand Final, where the top 45 players on the Road to Mallorca Rankings will compete for one of 20 life changing DP World Tour cards for the 2023 season. The top five graduates will also receive the John Jacobs Bursary, announced last month as part of DP World’s title partnership of the European Tour group’s main Tour.

The 2022 schedule includes seven co-sanctioned events with the Sunshine Tour, including a maiden visit to Tanzania for the Mount Kilimanjaro Klassic at Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate with Tanzania set to become the 52nd country to stage a Challenge Tour event.

Jamie Hodges, Head of Challenge Tour about the 2022 schedule:

“I am incredibly proud to unveil our schedule for the 2022 Road to Mallorca season, which boasts the biggest total prize fund since the Challenge Tour’s inception in 1989.”

“This expansive global schedule would not be possible without the incredible support of our promoters, national federations and tournament sponsors, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank them.

“We are also very grateful for the commitment of Rolex and The R&A, as well as DP World through their title partnership of the DP World Tour, all of which has helped us raise prize funds and increase playing opportunities for our members, further strengthening the Challenge Tour’s reputation as the perfect platform for players to achieve global success.”
