Golf Holidays in the Algarve

World Class Golfing in the Algarve this October

The Portugal Masters are a time of great inspiration to those coming to enjoy golfing holidays in the Algarve. It is a very exciting event that draws supporters and golf lovers from across the world to region. The competition this year was not exception, with England's David Lynn coming out on top this year with his second European Tour title. This was a great performance for Lynn, him having only won a tournament of this calibre once before - the KLM Open in 2004.

The 39 year old golfer began six shots off the lead but later charged forward with five birdies in a front nine of 30. It was a bogey on the 10th and further shots at the 11th, 14th, 15th and 17th that set Lynn ahead and gave him the points to win. Lynn was, as expected, very pleased with his performance, stating "I really caught fire on the front nine, I was making everything I looked at, although I hit it to one foot at first which got me off to a really good start. After that I made a couple of great putts for par to keep the momentum going and then I was making birdie putts."
