What an exciting week at the EBTC in Geneva!
I had the immense honour of being part of the team that represented Switzerland at the European Boys Team Championships.
We were a close-knit team where everyone made their contribution.
I played two good qualifying rounds (+1/+1) and my scores always helped the team. After the first round we were fourth! The second round started badly. My teammates who played in the morning had a bad day (+10 and +5). I went on the tee box knowing that my score was important and that I had to perform. I was under pressure but managed to finish with a solid +1 and we managed to qualify among the top eight teams playing for the title.
The first direct clash against England saw us lose 5-2.
I lost my match despite playing very good golf. I lacked experience.
The next day we beat Italy 4-3 and earned the chance to play for 5th place. I won my match against a very strong player. I was calm and played a solid, incisive game, winning 3-2.
The next day we played against Spain. I played the foursome together with a great friend of mine and we prevailed over the Spaniards 3-2. Switzerland won 3-2 and we finished the tournament in 5th place.
It was a magical experience!
