Audemars Piguet Ambassador Graeme McDowell won the Celtic Manor Wales Open
Audemars Piguet Ambassador since 2005, Graeme McDowell won his 5th European Tour tournament, scoring a total of 15 shots under par with a 3 shots margin over his competitors. He said that Sunday was the best final round he has ever played to win a tournament, a bogey-free round with 8 birdies in his first 11 holes. The Northern Irishman had started gaining momentum one week before at the Madrid Masters with a 4th place finish.
Graeme McDowell couldn't have picked a better week to peak in form on the course of the next Ryder Cup, a competition in which he performed well two years ago and dreams of playing again with the European team in October this year. Thanks to this victory, the 30 year old is now placed 10th in the Ryder Cup points list, one spot away from automatic qualifying, a position that he is keen on improving by maintaining his good form at the upcoming tournaments. He also has climbed 8 places to # 36 in the world.
Graeme McDowell proudly wears both Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore Collection watches. The Royal Oak embodies the perfect combination of style and strength, qualities Audemars Piguet feels are also shared by Graeme. He will continue to represent the brand and wear Audemars Piguet timepieces as he plays tournaments around the world.
