Teder is starting in Turkey
At the DP World Tour event that began today in Turkey, one Estonian is in the field – Richard Teder (Estonian Golf & Country Club). The tournament called the Turkish Airlines Open, is being played in Belek at the National Golf Club. Teder’s first-round tee time is 8:25 and his playing partners are China’s Yanhan Zhou (OWGR 231) and Australia’s David Micheluzzi (462).
Teder earned his place in the tournament thanks to his victory at the Turkish Amateur Open in January. The field also includes last year’s champion and DP World Tour Rookie of the Year, Martin Couvra (145), as well as several former Ryder Cup players, including Austrian Bernd Wiesberger (214), who won last week in China.
Among the Nordic players in the field are Finland’s Oliver Lindell (158) and Tapio Pulkkanen (458). Five players from the world top 100 are competing this week, with Spain’s David Puig (61) and South Africa’s Jayden Schaper (63) holding the highest rankings. Schaper currently sits third in the DP World Tour season standings, and five players from the tour’s season top 10 are competing in Turkey this week.
