Following 36 holes of hotly contested Stableford play and with the second round played in perfect golfing conditions, the new World Champion of the Volvo World Golf Challenge can be confirmed as Johannes Zelger from Italy. After an opening round where he scored an excellent 38 points, a superb second round of 41 led to a grand total of 79 points and a 2-shot victory over Austria’s Henning Frech (39/38). In third place was Mikael Hedberg from Sweden (39/32) whilst overnight leader Jerry Brown from Finland slipped a little to finish in fourth (40/29). Ivar Sten, also from Sweden, was fifth (31/37).
