Alexandre Kaleka triumphs in Marrakech
Open Al Maaden 2015
With a total 22 under par Frenchman Alexandre Kaleka secured himself the trophy of the 2015 Open Al Maaden. In Marrakech in Morocco the 27 year old celebrated a demanding win when he scored rounds of 62, 65 and 67 on the par 72 championship course of the Al Maaden Golf Resort. After 54 holes he was eight strokes ahead aof German Marcel Schneider (70+66+66/-14). For Kaleka it is his first victory on the Pro Golf Tour.
Marrakech/Morocco − "My game was really strong in the first round. I hit many greens and also my putting was very good", Kaleka analysed after the tournament. With 10 under par the man who lives in Orleans and grew up in Paris took a commanding lead after the first day in Marrakech when he made nine birdies and one eagle and dropped just one shot. And even in the second round he was in full concentration and used his options on the true greens of Al Maaden Golf Resort. The final day of the 4th tournament of the 2015 Pro Golf Tour season was pure triumph for Kaleka who finally came home with an eight shot margin over German Marcel Schneider.
Alexandre Kaleka "enjoyed" his Pro Golf Tour experience in Morocco, pointed out the "very good organisation" of the Tour and will - after a short break - come back to the tour at the beginning of March when two tournaments in Rabat are scheduled.
