Open division had 24 participants. After 3 rounds the best five players played spectacular final. Einar Elbing playing on home course was trying to close the 4 points gap to the leader Marcus Raberg, while other 3 players were fighting for the 3rd position.

Despite some mistakes made by Marcus Raberg during the final, he kept his leadership over Einar Elbing in the final, solving everything with his fantastic drive on the last hole – 150 meters downhill drive right under the basket!
