from La Grande Motte

The 2008 edition of the French Open got under way on Friday 25th April in glorious sunshine with the now traditional Am-Am sponsors event, a.k.a. the John Hudson Trophy.

The winners of this just-for fun scramble competition were two players from Britain, John and Jamie Deeble, John, playing with three charming ladies just pipping Jamie by two shots on a commendable 13 under par.
