Related Topics: PGA European Tour, Antalya, Turkey

European Tour officials are urgently investigating reports that the southern Turkish holiday resort region of Antalya was hit in a rocket attack on Friday.

Turkish media reported that two rockets were fired from a mountainous area close to the highway linking the city of Antalya to the resort town of Kemer.

No one was killed or injured in the attack, which apparently targeted a fuel tanker but instead hit a fishing company's storage house and open ground nearby.

The Turkish Airlines Open, the first of the European Tour's lucrative Final Series events, is scheduled to be held at the Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort in Antalya from Nov.
