This year’s most important European tournament on Open System minigolf courses,
the British Open, was played on 13-14 September in Margate, United Kingdom.
Mattias Ståhl of Sweden continued the tradition of foreign domination on British soil,
winning the competition with a one point margin to silver medalist Björn Dinau, also from Sweden.
The champion of 2007 and 2005, Jouni Valkjärvi of Finland, was left third this year, 7 points behind Dinau,
and one point ahead of Norbert Rehfeld of Germany in fourth place. Two British players reached the top ten:
Andy Exall in 5th place, and John McIver in 9th place.
British Open is played on Minigolf Open System (MOS) courses of British-American style,
with a felt carpet and freely designed shapes and obstacles.
