Marco Penge Claims Challenge Tour Double And Secures 2024 DP World Tour Card

The Englishman produced a near-faultless performance at Club de Golf Alcanada to win the Challenge Tour Grand Final and Road To Mallorca season title

Marco Penge secured a DP World Tour card for 2024 after comfortably winning the Challenge Tour Grand Final at Club de Golf Alcanada by six shots and being crowned 2023 Road to Mallorca champion.

Penge began the final day's play on seven-under, just a shot ahead of Frenchman Tom Vaillant, but quickly recovered from an error on the first to pull away as Vaillant's putter went stone cold.

It was a near faultless week for the Englishman, with three rounds of 69 or better, one level-par performance and a final score of 10-under proving his dominance - despite gusty winds throughout on the coastal course.

Victory in Mallorca was the 25-year-old's second Challenge Tour win this season following a four-shot success at the Open de Portugal at Royal Óbidos in September.

But speaking about his most-recent double achievement after coming off 18 on Sunday, Penge said: "It's unbelievable. Especially considering where I was about eight weeks ago - I think I was about 83rd on the rankings. 

"To be here saying I've won twice on the Challenge Tour, and I think I've won the overall rankings [competition]... it's hard to imagine. It hasn't quite sunk in yet."

Penge suffered an early wobble at Club de Golf Alcanada when he pulled his second shot at the first out of bounds and could only recover to make bogey. The response was indicative of the Englishman's quality, though, as he strung five consecutive pars together before bagging a couple of birdies prior to the turn.

Three further birdies for The Caversham-based player followed as his French playing partners struggled to create any kind of positive momentum. 

And although there was a late bogey added to the card, Penge was already home and dry and simply relying on the field settling down before he could be confirmed as the season-long champion.

While there was plenty of cause for celebration among Penge's group - with all three booking full-time DP World Tour cards and making up the top-three spots at the season-ending event - 18 other players won playing privileges on the global tour next year.

Casey Jarvis - who missed out on becoming the first South African to claim the Challenge Tour crown by just seven points - Manuel Elvira, brother of DP World Tour pro Nacho, and Brandon Stone were among the notable names to move up next season.

Matteo Manassero and Alex Fitzpatrick were already assured of their rights for 2024, but Welshman Stuart Manley finished around three hours before the leaders on Sunday and faced a painful wait before finding out he had nabbed the 21st and final spot in the 2023 Road To Mallorca Rankings.

That left Brandon Robinson Thompson in the worst spot of them all - 22nd - and one space outside of the magic number, just ahead of Benjamin Follett-Smith, Jamie Rutherford, and Ashley Chesters.

Updates from

Good morning all.

Good morning and welcome to the final day's play at the Challenge Tour Grand Final where, in around five-to-six hours time, we will learn who will be plying their trade on the DP World Tour next year!

Currently, Marco Penge leads both the event and the Road to Mallorca standings but, with plenty of golf remaining in Spain, every shot will count. The leaders head off in around half an hour and, looking at the early scores, there appears to be a real mix of over and under par rounds taking place.

So, why not strap in for what is set to be an enthralling afternoon of golf, with the top 20 players in the Road to Mallorca standings earning spots on the DP World Tour next year...

THE FINAL MAN

It's early days in Spain but, currently, Brandon Robinson-Thompson is the man occupying the 21st and final spot in the standings. He sits fourth in the tournament and is about to head out on to the course, with the likes of Rolex Series winner, Brandon Stone (20th), and Wales' Stuart Manley (22nd), his nearest rivals!

EARLY MOVERS AND SHAKERS

As the early starters approach and make the turn, only one player has reached three-under for today's play - and that score has been made by Ugo Coussaud, who sits in a tie for 33rd. 

The Frenchman is currently track to end the season third after suffering a disappointing final event so far, but if he can remain upwardly mobile then he will believe anything is possible.

American Julian Suri is at two-under for the day, but he needs to improve still on his T4 position if he is to secure a DP World Tour card - he's currently 24th in the RTM Rankings.

There are a lot of players throughout the field around the turn at two-under, so it seems like scoring will be possible today - even with those gusts still out there.

LEADERS UNDERWAY

Vaillant, Lacroix, and Penge have fired off their tee shots on one. A hat-trick of decent openers. Penge's was the best, though, rifling a hybrid low and down the middle which came to rest just across a cart path. Lovely stuff.

THE STAGE IS SET

LACROIX EAGLE AND PENGE PROBLEM

Despite missing the fairway with his drive way right, Lacroix drilled an absolutely brilliant iron shot into the short side of the green and has left himself maybe five feet  for eagle. That's the start you want to make! 

On the opposite side of the coin, Penge has pulled his approach low and left into the jungle. He's been forced into a drop and must get up and down to secure a par.

CONTRASTING FORTUNES ON ONE

Vaillant faced a lengthy eagle putt from the back of the first green, but his down-hill putt somehow comes up short - even with the greens running at 10.4 today. The quickest they've been all week. An awkward length remaining for birdie. And he's missed. A three putt for par will frustrate anyone, but Tom will be seething about that one.

Penge skuttles his par-putt past, but that's a tap-in for bogey. A decent result, considering. 

And we save the best until last. Frederic Lacroix confidently pushes his ball into the hole for an opening eagle! 

SUPER START BY SURI

American Julian Suri has made an eagle-par-birdie start as he looks to steal one of the final DP World Tour cards. He's currently 23rd in the rankings, but if he carries on this way then he'll be a shoo-in.

The wind is starting to really whip up now, and players are struggling to land approach shots. Brandon Robinson-Thompson has just watched his wedge shot spin back off the green due to getting caught up in the wind. His third shot flew over the green. Nerves and tricky conditions are playing havoc with some.

And that's the curse of the commentator coming true again. Suri found the heart of the green on the par-3 fourth, but went on to three putt and ends with a bogey.

GETTING READY

Here's a photo of some late green-keeping work being completed this morning. I can only presume the dog is there to round up some wayward sheep while the human staff paints and cuts the hole.

NO CHANGE AT THE TOP

All three leaders tidy up on the second to record a hat-trick of pars. Putting in this ever-increasing wind cannot be easy, but the two Frenchman and lone Englishman managed to avoid any damage.

ROBINSON-THOMPSON DISPLAYS FIGHT

Robinson-Thompson endured a pretty torrid third hole, shooting double bogey as he criss-crossed the green. But what a response! Facing a birdie chance on the fourth which he had no real right to make, the Englishman fired a beautiful winding putt over a ridge before crashing into the pin and dropping in.

Robinson-Thompson is one of those just inside the DP World Tour cut line.

GRINDING IT OUT

A lot of gutsy par putts are going in right now. Suri finds a clutch four on five, while Penge slots home on the third to make it two in a row. Unfortunately for Vaillant, though, he watches a close-range shot lip out. The Frenchman falls one back but is still comfortably inside the all-important top-21.

MANLEY MAKING A RUN

Stuart Manley is way down the leaderboard for the tournament, but the Welshman is showing some real grit and determination to make that top-21 on the RTM. He's strung three consecutive birdies together to push himself into the magic zone, but there goes a bogey at 16 to set nerves jangling again. Although he is 14-over for the tournament, his RTM projected ranking is currently 20th.

LEADERS FAIL TO FIND A BIRDIE

Penge, Lacroix, and Vaillant all had makeable birdie putts off the back of the fifth green, but none of them found the bottom of the cup. Vaillant - who has really struggled with the flat stick so far today - comes closest, but it's a lip-out and no cigar. As you were!

PENGE IN ACTION

The leader has put that early blemish behind him, and he's just been trundling along with pars ever since - that's all he needs to do.

ROAD TO MALLORCA STANDINGS

The top-21 in the RTM Rankings is is an ever-changing situation, but here is how it stands around the bubble right now.

  • 16 - Tom Vaillant
  • 17 - Francesco Laporta
  • 18 - Brandon Stone
  • 19 - Max Rottluff
  • 20 - Stuart Manley
  • 21 - Brandon Robinson-Thompson
  • CUT-OFF LINE
  • 22 - Sam Bairstow
  • 23 - Julian Suri
  • 24 - Benjamin Follett-Smith
  • 25 - Jamie Rutherford

VAILLANT PUTTER WOES CONTINUE

The Frenchman is really struggling with his putter. He's missed a handful of short efforts already so far, but he rolls a close one in to save bogey on six. As a result of that dropped shot, Vaillant has slipped to 21st in the RTM standings...

Lacroix and Penge tap in for par - they're nice and settled in the top-two positions on the leaderboard.

CLUB DE GOLF ALCANADA

Alcanada 7th hole

In case you were wondering what Club de Golf Alcanada is like to play, the location for this week's Challenge Tour Grand Final, we've got you covered. Have a look at the link above to find out all the key details.

BUBBLE BOYS THREATEN TO POP

Suri (27th) makes bogey on eight courtesy of a missed short putt and loudly curses before tapping in. Moments later, Robinson-Thompson (21st) slings one out of bounds left off the tee and is forced to drop ahead of his third shot. The Englishman now needs to chip in from off the front of the green if he is to not drop back.

Having dropped out of the top-21 for the first time today, Vaillant (22nd) has a birdie chance to recover on the seventh via a wonderful iron approach.

PENGE AND VAILLANT BAG BIRDIES

Penge finally finds a birdie! A tricky right-to-left slider puts him three shots clear at the top. He's back to level par for the day and looking all-but home and dry already.

And now Vaillant secures a birdie too! They're all at it. Robinson-Thompson has just recorded his second double bogey of the day and has dropped out of the top-21. Both of those incidents mean the Frenchman is back up to 16th. What drama!

.@PengeMarco leads by three shots and is projected to win the Road to Mallorca Rankings 🙌 #RolexGrandFinal pic.twitter.com/2sd8MnU87a November 5, 2023

FOUR PLAYERS UNDER PAR

The pressure appears to be mounting on everyone as Lacroix sends a wild drive out of bounds left off the tee on the 8th. Only a quartet of this field are under par for the entire event. Penge, Lacroix, Vaillant, and Sam Bairstow. Tough sledding.

VAILLANT ON THE SLIDE

Penge produces a lovely bunker shot to escape from the 8th with a par. He popped the ball back in his stance, leant slightly forward, and whipped his ball up into the air before watching it rip to the right and stop a couple of feet away.

Lacroix does well to only drop a single shot via a two-putt from range, but Vaillant misses a painfully-close tap in and also falls back to three-under. This putting performance is the stuff of nightmares for Vaillant.

CASEY JARVIS ON THE HUNT

Even though Penge holds a four-shot lead in this final event of the campaign, Casey Jarvis is lighting it up on the back nine and is currently projected to win the season title. The South African has managed four birdies in his past five holes to fire himself up to sixth on the leaderboard at one-over.

LEAD OUT TO FIVE

Penge rolls home an eight-foot birdie putt with ice in his veins. He looks like he's playing a different course today. That would appear the case, especially in relation to his playing partners as Lacroix bogeys the ninth.

Meanwhile, Tom Vaillant's nightmare day continues as he sees a horrible lip-out. His puppy-dog eyes after tapping in for bogey tell their own story. He wants the ground to swallow him up after a fifth bogey on the front nine. But he's still 21st in the RTM Rankings and he has the scoreable back nine to come. Come on, Tom. Keep going.

OFF-COLOUR PENGE LEADS BY SEVEN

On the TV coverage, they have just revealed that Penge is drinking Coca Cola as he's been struggling with cramp and feeling a little unwell so far this week. He's now out to nine-under and leads by seven after draining a winding putt from his left. 

Elsewhere, good news for Vaillant! He rolls in a mid-range par putt to remain at two-under for the tournament. The Frenchmen are still fighting here - both Vaillant and Lacroix escape with pars thanks to a pair of class bunker escapes.

YOUNG, WILD, AND CASEY

The youngest player in the field, Casey Jarvis, fires in a massive par putt - both in length and meaning - to remain top of the RTM Rankings. Despite carding an 80 on Thursday, the 20-year-old has ended the week one-over thanks to a final round of five-under. There had never been a South African Challenge Tour winner, until 2023. Casey Jarvis has a strong chance to do it.

What a finish Casey Jarvis! A four under par back nine sees him projected to number one on the Road to Mallorca Rankings. #RolexGrandFinal pic.twitter.com/knXruGAEM5 November 5, 2023

MANLEY WON'T WATCH

Based on the current projected rankings, Welshman Stuart Manley is set to be the final man to secure a full-time DP World Tour card. The 44-year-old, speaking to Sky Sports, says he won't be watching the coverage this afternoon. Maybe he'll be reading this instead? Hi Stuart! Fingers crossed for you! 

All @stu_manley can do now is wait. #RolexGrandFinal pic.twitter.com/b7PqpUlymT November 5, 2023

ELVIRA JOINS HIS BROTHER ON TOUR

Manuel Elvira signs off on seven-under par and will join his brother Nacho on the DP World Tour next season. A Fitzpatrick v Elvira foursomes would be good to watch at some point...

VAILLANT PULLS ONE BACK

While Penge and Lacroix are unable to find a four on the par-5 11th, Tom Vaillant does roll a putt in to move back to three-under. He's now second on his own and finally has a much-needed shot of confidence.

Elsewhere, one of the players who could move back to level par and potentially cost Jarvis the Challenge Tour title - Robinson-Thompson - has scrambled a par and continues to play with a smile on his face. What a great attitude BRT appears to have.

We are coming down the closing stretch in Mallorca. This is how the current season standings lie around the all-important mark.

  • 18th - Brandon Stone
  • 19th - Max Rottluff
  • 20th - Stuart Manley
  • 21st - Sam Bairstow
  • 22nd - Benjamin Follett-Smith
  • 23rd - Jamie Rutherford
  • 24th - Ashley Chesters
  • 25th - Euan Walker
  • 26th - Brandon Robinson-Thompson

PENGE LEADS BY SEVEN WITH SIX HOLES TO GO

After the Englishman pars the 12th, he is back up to first in the RTM standings as well due to a handful of birdies by the field, dropping Casey Jarvis back into a tie for seventh. Meanwhile, Vaillant succumbs to a sixth bogey of the day, immediately after finding his second birdie. 

MANASSERO IS BACK ON TOUR

From an almost identical spot to Jarvis earlier, Matteo Manassero sends in a magnificent putt to finish off his season in style.

A birdie on the last for @ManasseroMatteo 🙌 He will finish inside the top 20 on the Road to Mallorca to claim a 2024 DP World Tour card!#RolexGrandFinal pic.twitter.com/dgZN9SvmRd November 5, 2023

VAILLANT RESPONDS AS PENGE KICKS ON

The Vaillant fist-pump is back. The Frenchman pops a lovely chip onto the green at 13 and watches on as it releases to about a foot away from the hole. He's back to three-under via a birdie.

Lacroix can't even find the green with his first chip and he will throw away a chance to take a shot from the course. He remains at two-under.

Guess who's slotted home another birdie, though? Penge pushes his ball up the hill and tumbling into the cup for 10-under par. Four birdies in seven holes for Marco.

ROBINSON-THOMPSON FIGHTS ON

Just before Penge escaped with a par on 14, Brandon Robinson-Thompson found another birdie to move back to level par for the tournament. As things stand, the Englishman is projected 23rd on the RTM. He probably needs one more birdie to make it, although that would be bad news for Stuart Manley.

PENGE CLOSES IN ON VICTORY

Vaillant rolls in a brilliant birdie on 15 to continue his upward turn, and he is closely followed by compatriot, Lacroix. They are four-under and three-under, respectively.

But Penge upstages both of them via yet another birdie, and he is seven shots clear with only three holes to play. This has been an outstanding performance by the Englishman.

OUTSTANDING VIEWS IN MALLORCA

What a backdrop to play golf against...

STUNNING FROM BRT

Robinson-Thompson needed two birdies on his final two holes to usurp Manley into the final RTM spot, and he's completed the first half of his task in some style! After pushing his tee shot right on the par-three 17th, BRT faced some 50 feet of straight putt before the hole. In truth, it looked in all the way. The Englishman is one-under for the event and within a shot of booking his DP World Tour card.

How important is that! @BRTtoursauce birdies the 17th and needs one more birdie to take the final place in the projected Road to Mallorca Rankings. #RolexGrandFinal pic.twitter.com/t7Hb2DQtTu November 5, 2023

ONE PUTT TO CHANGE IT ALL

Bairstow and Robinson-Thompson have played strong approach shots into the 18th green. The former is in a stronger position, in terms of a top-21 finish, while the latter effectively faces one shot to decide whether he makes it or not. This is incredible drama!

ROBINSON-THOMPSON MISSES BIRDIE PUTT

That looks like it could be it, then! Robinson-Thompson is projected to end 22nd while Stuart Manley holds onto the final card. The putt from BRT just slid to the right from 15 feet. Moments later, Sheffield's Sam Bairstow taps home to finish 18th.

A par at the last for a round of 71 👏 Sam Bairstow has clinched his 2024 DP World Tour card, having started the week outside the graduation spots. #RolexGrandFinal pic.twitter.com/D4madGRawg November 5, 2023

PENGE MAKES BOGEY

Well, goodness me! Marco Penge has missed a putt. That seven-shot lead reduces slightly after the Englishman misses right from eight feet on 17. He's still six shots in front going down the last, mind...

Tom Vaillant has been a rollercoaster ride to watch this afternoon. He will be superb on the DP World Tour. The Frenchman pops a 100-foot putt slightly into the air upon contact, but the ball still trickles its way down to hole-side. He gives several smaller fist pumps in a row. He loves it!

Lacroix just about misses from range, but he's still in for par. 

One hole to go...

CLASSY APPROACHES FROM FINAL GROUP

After all three in the final group find the fairway on 18, Penge sticks it on the right side of the green, Lacroix finds the left portion, but Vaillant flicks a superb approach just behind the flag and will have a straightforward birdie chance.

The trio bask in a warm round of applause as they make their way onto the green, and they can all take a huge sigh or relief - it's almost a done deal.

PENGE WINS CHALLENGE TOUR GRAND FINAL AND SECURES NUMBER ONE RANKING IN ROAD TO MALLORCA

That was outstanding form Marco Penge. The whole day - after the first hole - has featured simply stunning golf. Penge taps in for par and a final round of 69, clinching the Challenge Tour Grand Final title and the number one spot on the Road To Mallorca.

Tom Vaillant ends on four-under in second after a final-day 74, while Frederic Lacroix shot 71 on Sunday to finish third on three-under.

The 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge concludes on Sunday, May 26, with the final round at Colonial Country Club in Texas. You can find full Charles Schwab Challenge tee times for the fourth round at the bottom of this post.

Featured tee time for Round 4

Tragedy has struck the Charles Schwab Challenge this week on the PGA Tour. But, with the blessing and adamant support of Grayson Murray’s family, the PGA Tour’s longtime stop at Colonial Country Club goes on.

Davis Riley has the lead by four at 14 under par, but he’ll be joined in the final pairing by none other than Scottie Scheffler . Scheffler started his tournament with a lackluster two-over 72, but has since rebounded with a bogey-free 65 Friday and another blemish-free 63 Saturday to surge into solo second.

Searching for his fifth victory, Scheffler will go off for the final round with Riley, seeking his second win, but first in an individual event, in the last pairing of the afternoon at 1:50 p.m. ET.

You can watch Sunday’s final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge on ESPN+ with exclusive early action and featured group coverage all day. Golf Channel will pick up early window coverage beginning at 1 p.m. ET with CBS taking over at 3 p.m. Peacock will offer a simulcast of Golf Channel’s coverage while Paramount+ will simulcast CBS’s.

You can check out the complete Round 4 tee times for the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge below.

Players take on a revamped colonial country club this week on the pga tour.

charles-schwab-challenge-flag-g.jpg

An annual stop on the PGA Tour calendar has received a makeover since players last saw it. Colonial Country Club once again played host to the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge and Scottie Scheffler trails Davis Riley heading into Sunday's final round of this year's event which featured the debut of its newly renovated layout for players to tackle. 

Scheffler, the world No. 1 returns to Colonial following a tumultuous week in Louisville that ultimately resulted in another top-10 finish. While Scheffler was unable to continue his quest for the calendar grand slam, he did continue his stretch of top-10 finishes, which now stands at nine straight.

During this run, the Texan has collected four trophies and will look to make it five at a golf course that has treated him kindly in the past with a third-place finish a year ago and a playoff loss to Sam Burns in 2022. Another player who has fond memories of Colonial is Scheffler's fellow Texas Longhorn, Jordan Spieth.

A winner at this golf course nearly a decade ago, Spieth has made it a habit at contending at this place with eight top-10 finishes to his name. While his form is in question, Spieth's love for the property is not. Both Scheffler and Spieth are joined in the field by a number of their U.S. Ryder Cup teammates, including Collin Morikawa, Max Homa and Brian Harman.

Tony Finau, Min Woo Lee, Tom Kim, Si Woo Kim and Min Woo Lee round out a strong crop of players teeing it up in this full-field event. With the summer months fast approaching, the Charles Schwab Challenge presents a great opportunity for players to launch into the meat of the PGA Tour season with a hot start in Texas.

Two-time PGA Tour winner Grayson Murray died Saturday morning at age 30, one day after he withdrew from the Charles Schwab Cup Challenge at Colonial.

There were no immediate details on the circumstances of his death, only shock and grief from the PGA Tour and his management team.

“I am at a loss for words,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said. “The PGA Tour is a family, and when you lose a member of your family, you are never the same. We mourn Grayson and pray for comfort for his loved ones.”

His management company, GSE Worldwide, confirmed the death and said it was heartbroken.

“We will hold off on commenting until we learn further details, but our heart aches for his family, his friends and all who loved him during this very difficult time,” GSE said in a statement.

Monahan said he spoke with Murray’s parents to offer condolences, and they asked that the tournament in Fort Worth, Texas, continue.

He said grief counselors would be on site at the PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour event in Knoxville, Tennessee. Monahan headed to Texas and later appeared on CBS as the third round was ending.

“To see the devastation on the faces of every player coming in is really difficult to see and really just profound,” Monahan said. “Grayson was a remarkable player, but he was a very courageous man. I’ve always loved that about him.”

Murray, who had dealt with alcohol and mental health issues in the past, made a massive turnaround this year and won the Sony Open , hitting wedge to 3 feet for birdie on the final hole to get into a playoff and winning it with a 40-foot putt.

He also won the Barbasol Championship in 2017.

“It was a huge shock. My heart sank,” said Webb Simpson, who learned of Murray’s death shortly before teeing off at Colonial. He said Murray was the first winner of his junior tournament and they shared the same swing coach as juniors.

“I just hate it so much,” Simpson said. “I’m going to miss him. I’m thankful he was in the place with his faith before this morning happened.”

Murray was No. 58 in the world rankings coming off a tie for 43rd in the PGA Championship last week at Valhalla. He also made the cut in his Masters debut, finishing 51st, and was in the field for the U.S. Open next month at Pinehurst No. 2.

Murray, who grew up in North Carolina, was among the most talented juniors in the country. He won the prestigious Junior World Championship in San Diego three straight years and earned the Arnold Palmer Scholarship at Wake Forest.

He wound up going to three colleges, lastly at Arizona State, and won as a 22-year-old PGA Tour rookie at the Barbasol Championship.

Murray said in January that he had been sober for eight months, was engaged to be married, had become a Christian and felt his best golf was ahead of him. He was appointed to the 16-member Player Advisory Council.

“My story is not finished. I think it’s just beginning,” Murray said in Hawaii. “I hope I can inspire a lot of people going forward that have their own issues.”

Murray said he used to drink during tournament weeks as a rookie because he knew he had talent and felt he was invincible. He also brought attention to himself through social media, openly criticizing other players and getting into one social media spat with Kevin Na over Na’s reputation as a slow player.

But he felt like he turned the corner when he sought help — letting others fight for him, is how he explained it this year.

“It took me a long time to get to this point,” Murray said in January. “That was seven years ago, over seven years ago. I’m a different man now. I would not be in this position right now today if I didn’t put that drink down eight months ago.”

Peter Malnati played with Murray at Colonial. He offered to go on the CBS telecast Saturday afternoon and immediately broke down trying to talk about him.

“It’s a huge loss for all of us on the PGA Tour,” Malnati said. “As much as we want to beat each other, we’re one big family, and we lost one today. It’s terrible.”

This story has been corrected to show that Murray won the Barbasol Championship in 2017, not last year.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

  • Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
  • Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
  • Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
  • Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery and Museum

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

challenger tour golf

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

challenger tour golf

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

challenger tour golf

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

challenger tour golf

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

challenger tour golf

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
