European visitors were left in the shadow of Americans in this year’s US Masters, played on Open System courses in Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, USA).

Hans Olofsson of Sweden, winner of US Masters 2005 and 2006, was left on 6th place behind four Americans and Marek Špidra of Czech Republic.

Daniel McCaslin took his third US Masters title and 4000 dollars of prize money, cementing his position as the most successful player in the history of the competition. (Last year he lost to Olofsson in a sudden death play-off, after a tied score on 12 competition rounds.)

Hawaiian Rumble and Hawaiian Village minigolf courses in Myrtle Beach host US Masters competition yearly in October, and US Open competition in May. Top-class European players used to have great success in earlier years of these tournaments, but Americans have been improving their game year after year. Local stars like Daniel McCaslin have grown into maestros who control all parts of the game with perfection, and offer a competition too tough for nearly any player of any country.
