Basisphilosophie » s some of the worlds top riders became team-mates

Global Champions League blasted off in 2016 in Miami Beach with a victory for the dynamic duo of John Whitaker (GBR) and Bertram Allen (IRL) in team Valkenswaard United. It was the launch of a new competition format as some of the worlds top riders became team-mates for the first time. Whitaker of Valkenswaard United put in a strong round ahead of his team-mate Allen to jump double clear with his talented horse, the 12 year old gelding Lord of Arabia. Allen and Quiet Easy 4 had an unlucky fence down in the second round, however with their typically quick pace they were able to cross the line in 52.72s, meaning the combined time would be 113.15s.Antwerp Diamonds had Harrie Smolders (NED) and grey gelding Bokai as a solid anchor, jumping a double clear - however the four faults carried over from round one meant they had to watch from the sideline with a combined time of 118.59s, knowing that Miami Glory could beat them to second place.Whitaker said: This was a great win. I think our strategy paid off a little bit. It was nail-biting right down to the second last fence - it was still wide open and so was high tension! Its been great to be a part of it and like everybody says, its easy to follow and it was tension right to the last fence.

PAUL, Minn.Thorbjorn Olesen admits he was relieved to see his poor run of form on the European Tour come to an end with victory at the Turkish Airlines Open.

Victory moves Olesen from 38th to ninth on the Race to Dubai It means a lot, as the last three or four months have been pretty poor and I havent played well, Olesen told Sky Sports. All of a sudden Im in contention and leading by quite a big margin, which is difficult when you havent been playing well.I knew the guys were able to shoot a low number today so I knew I had to go out and see if I could make a few birdies.

The last four holes were tough mentally and it was really difficult for me to get over the line. Olesen mixed four birdies with two bogeys during his final round Olesen finished three clear of Haotong Li and Horsey, who moved up 25 places in the Race to Dubai standings with his best finish of the season.I just wantted to put a little pressure on early doors and thankfully was able to do that, but just ran out of a bit of steam there on the back nine, Horsey said.dddddddddddd David Horsey reflects on a final round 65 at the Turkish Airlines Open, which sees him end the week tied-second Im pleased with how I played and this will give me a lot of confidence. I was probably as relaxed as Ive ever felt playing in contention.If I can just sort of tidy up in a few areas, theres no reason why I cant continue contending in the near future.
