His final result of 209 (72, 70, 67) strokes, or \u20127, also repeats his last year\u2019s championship record at Valgeranna. Second place went to Joonas Turba (+2), for whom it was his first male category medal. Third place went to golf coach and the champion of 2013 Egert P\u00f5ldma, whose final result was +4. The same result was achieved by 16-year-old Markus Varjun, who according to the rules (final result of the two final days) finished at fourth place. Marten Palm (+5) finished fifth, and only 13-year-old Richard Teder (+6) sixth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-29074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.golf.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/meeste_esikolmik_2018-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.golf.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/meeste_esikolmik_2018-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.golf.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/meeste_esikolmik_2018-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.golf.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/meeste_esikolmik_2018-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.golf.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/meeste_esikolmik_2018-345x230.jpeg 345w, https:\/\/www.golf.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/meeste_esikolmik_2018.jpeg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Annika Meos who managed a <em>hole-in-one<\/em> on the opening day, eventually bested her closest rival Karola Soe by nine strokes.
