Matt Oshrine is one of five players set to tee it up in the Rosa Challenge Tour after he claimed victory in the Rosa Challenge Tour Qualifier ahead of the Challenge Tour’s long-awaited return to Poland next month.
The American fired a six under par round of 66 at Rosa Golf Club to share the 18-hole lead with Dagbjartur Sigurbrandsson from Iceland, before Oshrine came out on top in a playoff.
Both players will be joined in the field by Welshman Owen Edwards and German Nicolas Horder who shared third place after each carded four under par rounds of 68.
The final guaranteed spot went to Jan Branicki as the best-placed Polish player, with the home favourite earning the right to play in front of local support when the Rosa Challenge Tour takes place from August 29 – September 1.
Two more cards for the tournament remain up for grabs, the first of which will be awarded to the winner of the Race to Rosa PGA Poland Tour which concludes later this month, while the second will go to the best player in the 5 Stars Junior Cup by Adrian Meronk.
The Rosa Challenge Tour is the 21st of 29 events on the Road to Mallorca schedule and will come at a crucial time as players target promotion to the DP World Tour.
Poland has featured six times since the Challenge Tour’s inception in 1989, with four of those coming in consecutive years from 1996-1999. After a nine-year absence, the DHL Wroclaw Open brought Challenge Tour golf back to the country in 2008 and 2009. The Rosa Challenge Tour will see the country return to the Challenge Tour schedule for the first time in 15 years.
