Nicky van den Biggelaar won the 63rd Dutch open with Tom Schotte from Belgium close on his heels. The tourney started out very well for Tom as he played a winning game against Nicky. But later in the tourney Tom also lost a game, against Mark van Heere. So Nicky and Tom both ended with 6 wins, like they did at the 61st Dutch Open in Lexmond in March.
