A very special event, being held in Florenz, Italy, in December of each year: the mats to hit from are set up on the history ladden bridge Ponte Vecchio and 3 floating greens get fixed in a distance of 40, 60 and 80 meters on the river Arno.

At the end of the 3 days in december 2007 André had shown the most precision and walked away as the winner of this exceptional event.

British Open in St. Andrews

July 2005

The participation in a Golf Major is the greatest experience for every Golf touring professional. André is the only Swiss who had this pleasure twice: 1994 in Turnberry and 2005 in St. Andrews.

Qualifying to the Brititish Open in St. Andrews – the “Home of Golf” – from July 14 until 17 2005 was the greatest exprience ever! To be standing on the driving range next to Vijay, Ernie and Sergio and to be on the same double green as Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus was a unique sensation. Not to be part of the action on the weekend was a great disappointment but it makes André want to play in a Golf Major soon ever more!

Victory at the Air France Cannes Open on the European Tour

April 1995

Until today André’s greatest success on the European Tour! The victory came unexpected even though it was written in the stars. After André had turned pro in 1989 and made it on to the European Tour in 1992, this victory was a confirmation of André’s talent and professionalism. The fact that André is part of the Winners on Tour makes him proud.


Victory at the Kenya Open on the European Challenge Tour
