Solid week in Morocco

Mark has finished in a tie for 56th at the Trophée Hassan II in Rabat, Morocco.  The tournament was played in a pro am format over the first two rounds at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam golf course followed by normal professional groupings over the weekend.  Brown played beautifully in the first round over the easier Blue course without getting much reward, signing for a 3 under 69.  A level par 73 on day two over the red course saw him through to the weekend.  Weekend rounds of 73 and 75 saw him finish in a tie for 56th in a tournament that was dominated by low scores.  The two courses were fantastic old style courses but lacking any real rough turning the event into a bit of a putting contest.  The event was won by Welshman Rhys Davies, his maiden victory on the European Tour.  Mark moves on to Malaga, Spain this week for the Open de Andalucia and will be spending a fair bit of time on the practice putting green Tuesday, Wednesday.  To follow his progress log on to www.europeantour.com.
