When Pauli won last years competition on the newly build artificial grass MOS course in Askim, Slottskogen, it was a surprise winner. Pauli is normally a C-class player on the other surfaces so a tournament victory was not on the map, but he did anyway. So this year it was time to show if it was luck or if this MOS course suites him really well.

In the preliminary rounds the best results where made by Swedish national team player Sandra Weaver with an average of 40,5. Also notable is the new course record of 36 made on the last round by the junior home team player Magnus Carlsson.

At the route to the final in Sundays cup play Pauli met, WMF General Secretary Roger Cadosch, Mattias Strand and Bengt Svensson. Bengt won over a Sandra Weaver in the quarter finals after a dramatic final where Sandra lead with 4 strokes with 2 lanes to go. But a seven for Sandra on the challenging bridge (lane 17) made it possible for Bengt to win by a two on the eighteen. On the other side of the cup-three Hans Bergström, Uddevalla and Magnus Carlsson, Askim had proceeded into the semifinal. When Hans made two high scores on lane 14 and 16 Magnus could easily take the final stand.

The final was a tight and well played match which ended in sudden death. On lane 3 a unlucky 3 for Magnus made once again Pauli the champion. So for another year Pauli can entitle himself the king of MOS in Sweden. Who will challenge him next year?
