Croatian International Junior Championship, Zagreb (U14, U18, U21) WAGR
Igrišče je fantastično, vendar je bilo v zelo slabem stanju in po mojem mnenju neregularno za tako tekmo. Kristjan prispeval svoj delež da je Slovenija kot ekipa osvojila Nations Cup.
In few weeks off playing tournaments, we worked on swing and this is the first tournament after big swing changes and some small mental changes. The golf course is fantastic but was in very bad condition and on my opinion not prepared and regular for the championship. Kristjan did his part that Slovenia won the Nations Cup.
