Agusti Quinquilla sets the pace at the 23rd Open International de la Mirabelle d’Or

France, June 5th, 2026 – While his front nine was relatively quiet in 33 (-1), Agusti Quinquilla made his move on the back nine during the opening round of the Open International de la Mirabelle d’Or. The Spaniard produced a stunning stretch with two birdies and an eagle between holes 10 and 12, before adding two more birdies coming home to sign an excellent 63 (-7) and take the first-round lead.

The 25-year-old has not managed to pull away from the field, however. Italy’s Enrico Di Nitto and Davide Buchi, Spain’s Gonzalo Leal, and Ireland’s Robert Moran are all just one shot behind.

France’s Baptiste Achard and Italy’s Flavio Michetti share sixth place at -5, two strokes off the lead.

For Round 2, play will begin at 7:30 a.m. from both the 1st and 10th tees. At the conclusion of the second round, a cut will be made to the top 40 professionals and ties, who will advance to the final round (including all amateurs within the cut).

Round 1 Player Quotes

Agusti Quinquilla :  “It was one of those rounds where almost everything went right. From the first hole, I committed to an aggressive strategy and hit more drivers than players usually do on this course. I drove the ball extremely well and barely missed a fairway all day.

The key moment came at the start of the back nine. I made a really good birdie on 10, another on 11, and then on 12 I hit a great drive, a 7-iron to two metres and holed the putt for eagle. That stretch really got my round going. After that, I kept playing well, stayed in position, and added a few more birdies. The feeling is good heading into tomorrow and hopefully everything keeps working the same way.”

Davide Buchi: “I felt pretty good on the course today. I wasn’t overly aggressive and hit a lot of irons from the tee. Conditions changed a bit throughout the round, especially with the wind, but I think I adapted well. Overall, every part of my game was solid, but my irons and putting were probably the strongest areas today. Hopefully I can keep that going over the next two days.”
