He managed to finish two strokes ahead of Finland\u2019s Tapio Pulkkanen and his fellow countrymen Sean Crocker for a 15 under a total of 273 at Albatross Golf Resort near Prague.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable. I mean, I played with two great players today, both of them played well the whole way, At one point there were four of us all tied for the lead and I just stuck to my game. I can\u2019t believe I won. I\u2019ll wake up tomorrow and then I\u2019ll feel it.\u201d were his words after winning his first title. His previous best was at Irish Open where he finished at the third spot.<\/p>\n<p>He managed to recover from a Bogey on the second win with three birdies on the front nine after he started the round in the final group where he was competing with Henrik Stenson of Sweden, the former British Open Champion and Pulkanen and was just two strokes behind the leading Finn.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Pulkamen was at a lead of four shots but dropped two shots with bogeys in the 8th and 10th. He got his lead back after a couple of birdies on 15th and 16th but managed to finish the round with a bogey and the double bogey in the final round and finished with 13 under 275 and settled for a tie at second position.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Johannes Veerman wins the D+D Real Czech Masters \ud83c\udfc6<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CzechMasters?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CzechMasters<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ADD9PiOgcD\">pic.twitter.com\/ADD9PiOgcD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 DP World Tour (@DPWorldTour) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DPWorldTour\/status\/1429415977922539523?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 22, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Veerman\u2019s first European Title as for his personal best he finished at third position in the Irish Open. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":437,"featured_media":23401,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[2563,1494],"class_list":["post-258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-sports","tag-european-tour","tag-golf"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/437"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
