John Mittler ruled with style at this weekend’s Finnish Championships on eternit in Helsinki. A margin of 13 strokes on 9 rounds down to Kosti Salonen is quite impressive.

Actually the one that was closest to John was Marko Nuotio who played in old-timers category. The best player's trophy in men (regardless of age category) was a tight match between John and Marko, but John won it by 2 points.

This was the first time John won this championships and his best before was 2nd in 1991 (aged as junior), 3rd in 2005, and 3rd in 2006.
