The favourites delivered. Level with Nijhof after three days, Jansen closed out the championship flight at Fairmont 4&3 for a fourth title — and the outright lead in the title race. Michel's 30-year handicap plateau still doesn't matter when it counts.

The Costa del Sol question got its answer: away from Marbella the streak stopped. Pointless after two days, they salvaged third by dismantling Lusthof 9&7 on the final day — the biggest margin of the week. Koen was the week's best Hoefakker by a distance.

The dark horse very nearly landed it at 7/1. Nijhof matched Jansen point for point over three days and walked into the championship flight — then lost it. Nick topped the individual standings for the week. Still no title.

The run of top-three finishes ended hard. Four days in Scotland, zero points, last place — and a 9&7 hiding on the final day. By tradition that makes them hosts of the next edition. Bas found rather too many postcodes.
