Porsche European Open: Top 10 Power Rankings
By Adam McGee
The European Tour rolls into it’s latest stop at the Porsche European Open this week, where Thongchai Jaidee is defending champion. Who’s likely to contend this year?
Before the European Tour takes a week off for the show-stopping spectacle that is the Ryder Cup next week, there’s the little matter of the Porsche European Open to be sorted out first.
A staple of the schedule for a long time, the European Open has experienced a tumultuous run in recent years, moving from its long-time home of the K Club in Ireland, to a short-lived spell in France and now settling in for its second year in Germany.
Last year’s event at Golf Resort Bad Griesbach produced an exciting and closely contested tournament, and the expectations will be for similar this week.
