31st Jul 2015 | Madeira Islands Open
On A Roope
Roope Kakko hasn’t missed the cut in five visits to Madiera and finished third last month on the Challenge Tour.
The rescheduled Madeira Open has been weakened by going up against Paul Lawrie’s event but that won’t bother Roope Kakko who has enjoyed some success on the Challenge Tour of late.
The Finn was third at the Najeti Open last month and his last five results across both the European and Challenge Tour reads T60-T16-3-T66-T24.
The 33-year-old fits the profile of big hitters who have won in Madeira and in five visits to the island, he has finished T44-T43-T16-T60-T5. At 66/1 (Coral), he is a solid each-way bet.
