Le Touessrok is one of the world’s great golf resorts located in the warmth of tropical Mauritius. The Championship Golf Course is across the water from the resort mainland on its own island and was designed by 2 time Major Champion, Bernhard Langer.

He had a glittering amateur career that saw him ranked No.1 in the Amateur world Rankings in 2009 and included a victory at the 2009 European Amateur Championship.

Excited about the partnership and hoping to build on a solid rookie year, that included 3 top 10 finishes on Tour, Dubuisson said, “I’m very excited about my new partnership with Le Touessrok; I believe it’s one of the best and most stunning courses in the world. To be able to practice there all year round, making the most of their fantastic facilities and prepare for a demanding 2012 schedule is such a great opportunity for me. Hopefully this is the start of a long and special relationship.”

Dubuisson continued, “I played in the Standard Bank Mauritius Open at Le Touessrok last December and I love the course, it suits my game and tests all aspects of it. Everyone at the resort has always been very friendly and welcoming to me and I’m extremely thankful that they have given me the opportunity to come back again and again. It really is a spectacular setting and I encourage anyone to visit Le Touessrok if they get the chance.”
