After 14 of the 15 squads Tim Mack, last year’s winner of the Norwegian Open, is still not among the top 44 players. If he doesn’t improve his results in the last squad, he will have to rely on the Desperado Squad. Right now the cut for the top 44 is 1299.
Many Norwegian players have entered the tournament this week and before the last squad and the Desperado Squad 13 Norwegian players are among the top 44 players. Both the Norwegian Champions 2003 Petter Hansen and Mette Hansen are so far qualified.
