Donald wins as others suffer |
 |
|
The way Luke Donald managed to take apart the Seve Ballesteros course at Crans-sur-Sierre this week might have left one wondering why so many of the other players had so much trouble.
Donald cruised to a relaxed five-stroke victory which mirrored perfectly his approach to the event, which was to keep it low key and try to have as much fun as possible.
The result was a four-day performance comprising rounds of 67-67-65-66 for a 19-under-par total of 265 that was almost as splendid as the weather at this spectacular resort normally given over to alpine skiing.

Jimenez leads as others suffer |
| The big boys continued to batter the Crans-sur-Sierre course but for the Warwickshire men in the field it was a case of them beinbg battered by the course.
It is not long and it is not tight. But the tricky, rock-hard greens were proving to be more than some of the players could handle.
Paul Broadhurst certainly suffered even though he managed to match par with a 71.

Webster enjoys a rare weekend of competitin |
 |
|
VIRGINIA WATER, England - When you have missed eight cuts in your last 12 events, to survive into the weekend feels almost like a privilege.
Steve Webster is trying to make the most of it despite his relative unfamiliarity with the situation but his one-over-par 73 in the third round of the Volvo PGA at Wentworth Saturday was not what he wanted after his earlier efforts of 71 and 69.

Cevaer wins as Whitehouse suffers |
| FUERTEVENTURA, Canary Islands (AP) _ Christian Cevaer shot eagle-twos on
the first and 16th holes Sunday then safely parred the last two for a 69 to win the Spanish Open by one stroke.
The 34-year-old Frenchman, a psychology graduate from Stanford University - Tiger Woods' alma mater - fired in a 137-yard pitching wedge at the first and holed a lob wedge from 53 yards at the 16th to set up victory over three players, Ricardo Gonzales of Argentina, Peter Hedblom of Sweden and David Park of Wales.

Gonzalez sneaks up on Park |
 |
|
FUERTEVENURA, Canary Islands - David Park of Wales may struggle to hold
off the rampant Argentine Ricardo Gonzalez in the final round of the Spanish Open on the Canary Island of Fuerteventura of Sunday.
The 29-year-old London resident could only muster a one-over-par 71 in
Saturday's third round and Gonzalez closed him down with a 64 that shared the honours for the day's best round with another Welshman, Bradley Dredge.
Park, still one shot clear after beginning the round four ahead, will have to rediscover his putting touch in the last round after leaving several putts inches short on Saturday.

Gonzalez regains driving ability to win title |
| Seville, Spain - Ricardo Gonzalez waited until the last holes before he began to look like a champion. Then over the last five, there was no holding him.
A diabolical display of driving left him looking exceedingly vulnerable until he finally rediscovered the secret and hit the last four fairways after finding the target just once in the previous 27 holes.
The result was that he birdied three of those final five for a 69 to win by two strokes from Steven Gallacher and Jonathan Lomas.
