The Korean army may grow larger, the Vietnamese may play brilliantly, but the European stars keep on winning in the end. It was no different this Sunday on the French coast, where Martin Horn won in a manner familiar to the Germans: in the very last minute. He was absent from the circuit for a few years, but his game has not suffered. Horn came from behind to beat the world number one Frédéric Caudron (40-34 in 25) in the semi, then won a tense battle against Jae Ho Cho... »
