Austria is a beautiful country. Fenchman Bruno-Teva Lecuona claimed there his second victory in 18 months. " I should now learn to speak german !".

Consistent and with a good feeling during the week, the native from the south west of France did stay patient and played a great golf. He shot 64 to win with 2 strokes clear from Austrian Roland Steiner.

"It was really a good day, on the back nine, I made 6 birdies. Ihave been working all year long to get some results and I often missed something but when every shot of the game is good, we just have to enjoy it."

Lecuona entered the TOP 5 of the order of merit and Steiner claimed the first place.
