2015 Spring UEL Tour Winners:
I'm delighted to announce our Tour Winners.
In first place in the TL credits standings (top37 pic), and our undisputed and undefeated UEL Tour Champion yet again, is fmagnets with 2235cr (his highest ever total by some 62cr). He finished an enormous 800+cr ahead of 2nd place. Congratulations Mags!
Mags' consistency was astounding: once again he managed top 10 finishes in all but one event (and was 11th in the other!). He had 3 wins, 4 second places, 1 thirds, 1 fourth, a ninth, twelfth and thirteenth. If there is a weakness in his game, it seems to be at RSG in UEL, the site of his two worst finishes!

Early on in the Tour, he was challenged by Saurabh08, who recorded 2 wins and a 2nd in the first 4 weeks, but couldn't keep up that form, and faded a little in the second half of the Tour.
KonradOse once again came in 3rd place, with 1159cr including 1 win. Others with 1 Tour win were Priestess, xfipro, johehejo, duffputt, and Dazza501.
It was a slightly disappointing Tour for players like FairwayRuepel68 and bhoese neither of whom won, but were consistent enough to finish in the top 10.
But unquestionably, the most improved player was JoeMaverick, who stepped up to the 'big boys' tour with aplomb, with regular high finishes and a great closing last couple of weeks. He fully earned his Ryder Cup team qualification place!
In L credits standings (top37 pic), Corwyn was the leading finisher, recording 4 wins, 3 second places, 1 fourth, 2 fifths, and a sixth (and was timed out from another second place finish) [pic of Corwyn's placings]. His total of 1663cr was 518cr ahead of akash1592 in 2nd, with FluffyGreens and OleFernando another 400-odd cr back.
----------------------
In the Relative to Par standings (TLtop37pic), Mags was the comfortable winner again in TL tier, 23 shots ahead of Konrad and Saurabh. Joe, Priestess and FairwayRuepel made up the next group of 3 chasers. This time around 15 golfers reached 100 under par across all the tourneys (the above-mentioned TL players plus bhoese, duffputt, Daskino, GolferDadRB, johehejo, MatildaIgaly, ColumbusStorm, Legaci and Shankette). Although we missed out on Olympic and Whistler in the Tour (two of the tougher courses), that's still an impressive improvement on 10 golfers who reached -100 last time.
Meanwhile in L tier (top35pic), and even missing one week (with the time-out at Pinehurst), only Corwyn topped -100, finishing -106. akash1592 came close with -94, despite missing 2 weeks.
Prizes:
As in the Fall 2014 Tour, each of the two tiers' Tour winners (fmagnets & Corwyn) receive a 5 sleeve (or approx. 2-2500cr value) prize (from KonradOse's main prize sponsorship of 5,000cr.) Thank you so much Konrad for such a generous prize offering.
Perhaps Mags can indicate what sleeve he wants as the TL winner, and I'll choose my prize based on what's left of Konrad's pool!
Andy (alcaucin) also generously offered 5 sleeves in prizes, and they go, one each, to the next placed best finishers in each tier's Scores Relative to Par category (skipping the players that win the respective Tour prizes above). [These sleeves to be awarded on this basis: 1. highest placed player in L tier Relative to Par (if not winner of Tour). 2. highest placed player in TL tier Relative to Par (if not winner of Tour). 3. next highest placed player in L tier. 4. next highest placed player in TL tier. 5. next highest placed player in L tier.
Thus the disbursement of sleeves to the next highest-placed players is as follows:
2 L. akash1592 - TBC
T2&3 TL. Saurabh08 - TBC & KonradOse - TBC
T3&4 L. mmyers0 - TBC & NicColsaerts - TBC
Would the highlighted players above please confirm or otherwise their sleeve of choice (either here in the thread, or by PM to Andy [alcaucin]) or myself), and we'll get those sent off to you.
