The Omega European Masters is one of the most popular stops on the European Tour for the players and fans alike. Some of our stars were keen to share their pictures and love for Crans Montana and Crans-sur-Sierre GC on social media...
Matt Fitzpatrick started with a disappointing 75, before battling back to finish in a tie for seventh place. The Englishman was also lucky enough to celebrate his 22nd birthday with this view:

Pablo Larrazábal was in Crans Montana with his wife Gala Ortin and their beloved dog Roy. When you've flown Roy all the way out to Switzerland, it would only be right to pose for this great shot overlooking the Rhône Valley with him:
Heaven... The view from the 7th tee at Crans... pic.twitter.com/nA04P1q2Mp

A lot of our players are very active on social media and keen to show off more than just their golfing skills. Bernd Wiesberger showed golfers can take beautiful pictures too with this fine effort from the seventh tee:
Beef-mania came to the mountains of Switzerland last week. Literally, as the very popular Englishman made his way all the way up to the Glacier in the Swiss Alps. We just hope his beard did not freeze:
2015 champion Danny Willett also took the chance to bring his family out with him and was keen to sample some of the culinary delights on offer in the town, at a restaurant owned and run by famous chef Michel Roux:
Well not a great day on the course but what an amazing night!! Thanks @MichelRouxOBE #GreatGolfTimes #crans 🍷🏌 pic.twitter.com/PdUhoZRGBA

When 'Beef' met Benjamin. Up the Glacier. Back to 'Beef' and French player Benjmamin Hebert, who bumped into each other with their girlfriends, when they were at the Glacier. Time for a snap:
