Jean-François Lucquin made it a French double at the Omega European Masters following Gregory Havret's success last week.

The Frenchman’s victory came in a playoff over one of StrokeAverage.com’s newest clients, Rory McIlroy.

The Irish teenage prodigy, who is on his first full year on tour, only started using the world’s most comprehensive golf stats and golf performance analysis system back in early July – when Ross Fisher was claiming a five-year exemption at the European Open.

The European Masters used to carry the same long-term reward but now gives the winner just the normal two-year exemption.

Rory McIlroy, who is a member at Holywood Golf Club, has had a lot of hype and expectation following his sensational runners-up on his debut at the Dunhill Links nearly a year ago.

And although some will say he let the golf tournament slip through his fingers, most of those in the know about the game of golf are highlighting that the boy has an incredible future ahead of him, as he is already challenging to win multiple tour events at such a young age.

StrokeAverage.com consultants provided Rory McIlroy with their first analysis and feedback on his golf at the European Open from where Rory McIlroy enjoyed a sparkling run of form with a top 10 there and then a top 20 at Loch Lomond a week later in the Barclays Scottish Open.

And on Sunday in Switzerland, last year’s leading amateur at the Open Championship had the chance to grab his first victory on the quirky Cran-sur-Sierre golf course starting his fourth round with a four-shot lead, having opened the golf tournament with a superb eight-under par 63.

But with a chasing pack of golfers also seeking their first wins, including Frenchman Jean Francois Lucquin, who now lives in Switzerland, and local hero Julien Clement – plus proven Tour winner Miguel Angel Jimenez and young Spanish golfer Alejandro Canizares - hot on his tail, the Ulsterman had to bounce back from a pair of early bogeys that cost him his lead by just the third hole.
