The second round of the 2025 Ein Bay Open started with a sunny day and a temperature of around 13°C, which rose to 21°C in the afternoon. The players in the morning flights were able to play with a light breeze, while in the afternoon, a northwesterly wind picked up, though it was less intense than yesterday.

ROUND 2 PLAYERS QUOTES

Giovanni Manzoni, an emerging Italian talent with a strong amateur background, continues to impress on the Alps Tour.

“Today went well. I started on the 10th, and it was a bit of a tricky beginning with a bogey on the first hole from the middle of the fairway, 40 meters from the pin; the early holes were challenging. Then I found my rhythm, managed to hit some shots close to the pin, and at the 17th, I struck a great iron-4 that went straight to the flag for an eagle. From there, I started playing really well. I missed a few putts toward the end, but overall, it was a very positive day. The wind picked up during the back nine, but fortunately, it was never a crosswind.”

Luca Galliano, a consistent performer on the Alps Tour with multiple top-10 finishes, is off to a strong start this season.

“Today’s conditions were very different from yesterday morning. In the afternoon, especially on the back nine, the wind kicked up. I’m really happy with how I’ve played both yesterday and today. It’s great to be in contention for the win right from the first event. I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season so far.”

Theo Brizard, a promising French golfer making his mark on the Alps Tour, showcased resilience and skill in this round.

“It was a great start to the round with birdies on holes 10 and 11. I managed to secure some easy pars after that. I made a big mistake on the 15th, putting my first shot in the water, but I kept a positive mindset through the end of the first round and made a birdie on 17. I played the 1st hole very well, then made a bogey on the 3rd after being too aggressive with my approach. I finished strong with birdies on 7 and 8 and a solid par on the last. It was a good round, I’m very satisfied.”

Mario Galiano Aguilar, a Spanish golfer with a decorated amateur career and growing Alps Tour experience, remains competitive.

“Today’s result was good, but my game didn’t feel as strong. On the front nine, I had plenty of birdie chances but couldn’t capitalize. Then I struggled a lot on the first three holes of the back nine, but I tried to stay calm. I managed three birdies in the last six holes, which helped me post a solid score for tomorrow.”

Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela, a skilled Spaniard known for his short game, is building momentum on the Alps Tour.

“The best part of my game today was my wedges. I think both my wedges and putting were pretty good. I’ve played well both days. Today, I hit a lot of wedges close to the pin. The key moment came after the 10th, where I was unlucky with a tee shot that ended deep in the rough, leading to a double bogey. But I didn’t let it get to me and bounced back with five birdies and an eagle over the last seven holes.”
