Ben Curtis of the USA, winner of the 132nd Open Championship, and Denmark’’s Thomas Björn, who finished runner-up at Royal St George’’s, will renew their acquaintance on European soil next month at the Trophée Lancôme at Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche, Paris, from 11-14 September.
Also confirmed for the 34th edition of the Trophée Lancôme are past champions, Retief Goosen and Colin Montgomerie. Montgomerie collected one of his 27 European Tour titles in 1995 while Goosen’’s victory in 2000 went a long way towards him capturing the first of his two Volvo Order of Merit crowns.
Thomas Levet of France, who came close to winning the Open Championship in 2002, plays in his native city, aiming to become the first Frenchman to claim the long-established title, while England’’s Justin Rose is also in the field.
