At 5,000 feet above sea level, the Omega European Masters strips away standard yardages and forces players into a high-stakes battle with aerodynamic lift. Inside the data-driven math of the DP World Tour's most complex topological puzzle.
Sitting nearly 5,000 feet above sea level in the Swiss Alps, the Omega European Masters is as much a test of atmospheric physics as it is of ball-striking.
The science of alpine golf is rooted in resistance and rotation. Because the air at 5,000 feet is less dense, there is less friction to generate aerodynamic lift.
No player in the modern era has solved the Crans-sur-Sierre equation quite like South Africa’s Thriston Lawrence.
