Matthias Schmid, who won the von Limburger Open at Atalaya two years ago, competed as an amateur after qualifying by winning the European Amateur Championship, has played THE OPEN this year.

He narrowly missed the cut with 5 over Par, beating stars like Woods, Mickelson, etc.

We still remember the kind words we dedicated Atalaya in one of his mails to Michael Pollak, expressing his gratitude for the friendly way we treated him in the time he spent training in Atalaya with us.
