History - Austrian GolfOpen presented by Lyoness

In 2011 the Austrian GolfOpen proved to be the return to form of Englishman Kenneth Ferrie who, having won at the Canarias Open de España in 2003 and Smurfit European Open in 2005, triumphed in a playoff over compatriot Simon Wakefield. 2012 will be the third staging of the event at Diamond CC, and Austrian fans will no doubt hope for a repeat of 2006 when Markus Brier claimed his national title at Fontana GC.
