The European coach who lost the Ryder Cup to the United States this year, joins five other Portugal Masters champions who return to Vilamoura in 2021: South African George Coetzee (defending the title won in 2020) , Englishmen Andy Sullivan (2015) and Steve Brown (2019), Frenchman Alex Levy (2014) and Danish Lucas Bjerregaard (2017).
If for the friendly Irishman the Portugal Masters is the last trophy of his excellent record, which includes three Grand Slam titles, for Matt Wallace the victory at the Portugal Open @ Morgado Golf Resort, in 2017, was the beginning of a beautiful story.
The 31-year-old Englishman was not a big figure on the international circuit when he won his first European Tour title, in Portimão, in May 2017. It hadn't even won any tournaments on the Challenge Tour, the second division of European golf, although in 2016 it had been number 1 on the Alps Tour, with six titles taken in that European third division.
The Portuguese Open was an unlocker and after that it felt like a hurricane, adding three more trophies to its streak in 2018. In 2018 he was seriously disappointed not to have been called up for the European team that won the Ryder Cup in France and got back with a 2nd place in the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, at the end of the 2018 season. prove their worth with a 3rd place in one of the Majors, the PGA Championship. This year, Wallace has two top-10s on the European Tour and three more top-10s on the PGA Tour, with an emphasis on fourth place (-6) on the Zozo Championsip, in Japan.
The 15th Portugal Masters also has four players who have won European Tour tournaments this year, the Scots Grant Forrest and Calum Hill, and the Danish brothers Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard, in addition to the Frenchman Victor Perez, who ended the previous season with a good 7th place at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai and, in 2021, has been shining on the PGA Tour: it was 4th at the WGC/Dell Technologies Match Play and 9th at The Players Championship. On the European Tour he was 4th at Saudi International.
