Nicolas Meitinger is coached by the same man who guided Martin Kaymer to the top of the World Ranking, and he now has his name on the same trophy after winning the Allianz Challenge de France. Kaymer won the event in 2006, and Meitinger will hope his career path takes a similar trajectory to that of the current World Number Two after overcoming his compatriot Max Kieffer in a dramatic sudden-death play-off at Golf Disneyland, near the French capital Paris. Meitinger was recently reunited with Günther Kessler, and he paid tribute to his coach, his first-time caddie and the new broomstick putter which served him so well this week after seeing off Kieffer, whose approach shot found the water at the second extra hole.
