Valderrama may not host 2011 Masters: decision on Wednesday

SAN ROQUE/Sotogrande (Agencies) The president of Valderrama Golf Club, Felipe Ortiz-Patiño (photo), has admitted in an interview that there is a possibility that the club (recently bought by Greg Norman but still subject to final completion) may not be hosting next year's Masters tournament. Speaking from his home in Switzerland, Ortiz-Patiño said that a final decision is scheduled for December 15. The decision is apparently the Junta de Andalucía's, the competition's main sponsor, who may take over the event altogether and will thus be able to have it played anywhere it likes. The club president also denied that there was friction with the sponsors regarding lawyer Ramón Dávila, who heads the organizing committee, as reported recentlhy on a specialist website, DobleBogey.
