Principle performer on the number 17 tee: the 2019 Porsche European Open has, alongside a top field, another protagonist that is causing quite a stir far beyond the bounds of the Porsche Nord Course. Only a few hours after its world premiere, the new Porsche Taycan Turbo drove up to the Green Eagle Golf Courses club heading for the 17th hole. On public show for the first time during the tournament week, the first all-electric sports car from Porsche has been sitting there majestically as an extraordinary hole-in-one prize ever since. Spectators also have the unique opportunity at the Porsche Public Hole-in-One competition to qualify for a tee shot on the 17th - and therefore the chance to win the Taycan.The European Open golf stars have the best view of the 680 PS electric athlete. Below are their thoughts about their first encounter with the Porsche Taycan Turbo.
Surprise win at the 2018 Porsche European Open: Englishman Richard McEvoy finished at the head of a high-class field after four rounds around the Porsche North Course belonging to the Green Eagle Golf Courses. The 39-year old only qualified for the tournament with a win the week before on the second tier Challenge Tour. It was his first ever win on the European Tour at his 285th attempt. With a total of 277 (11 under par), he finished ahead of the German amateur Allen John, the Swede Christofer Blomstrand and the Italian Renato Paratore all in joint second one stroke behind. On the final day, 14,300 spectators (total attendance: 39,000) once again lined the fairways. They saw one top star after the other fall by the wayside: Paul Casey (-8, England) was joint seventh, South African Charl Schwartzel (-7) finished joint ninth with Masters Champion Patrick Reed (USA). After starting the final day at the top of the leaderboard, Bryson DeChambeau (USA) posted a six over par round to leave him visibly disappointed in joint 13th.
The Porsche European Open can begin right now for Paul Casey, the world class golfer from England: On the ADAC’s – the main German automobile club – driving safety centre in nearby Lüneburg, the 41-year old was able to put his driving skills to the test and live out his passion for Porsche.
Top golf in the heart of St. Pauli: The Porsche European Open got off to an atmospheric start with the Porsche Urban Golf Challenge on the Spielbubenplatz square.
