Andrea Romano heads into the final round chasing a fourth title

Como, Italy, October 8^th, 2025 – Who can stop Andrea Romano? The Italian, already a three-time winner this season, has put himself in the best possible position to claim a fourth Alps Tour title in 2026 at the Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON.

Romano followed up his opening-round 64 (-6) with another 64 (-6) at Golf Club La Pinetina, this time without a single mistake on his card. He now takes a two-shot lead into the final round.

Robert Moran matched Romano’s 64 (-6) to move into second place at -10. The Irishman, who has finished runner-up three times earlier this season, will have a two-shot deficit to overcome if he is to claim his first Alps Tour title.

Five players share third place at -9: Italian amateur Matteo Manini, Dutchman Lars Keunen, and Spaniards Gonzalo Leal, Pablo Alperi and Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela.

The final round will begin at 9:40 a.m. local time, with players teeing off from both the 1st and 10th tees at Golf Club La Pinetina. In the event of a tie, a sudden-death playoff will determine the champion.

Round 2 Player Quotes

Andrea Romano: “I’m very happy with my game. I was pretty solid tee to green. On the first nine, I didn’t hole many putts and didn’t have a good feeling with my putting. Then, on the back nine, I tried something different with my setup and it felt really good. So I’m very happy, and I’ll try to win my fourth event.

“When you’re up there, you obviously hope to win. I came here mostly to get back into the game because I’m preparing for the second stage of the DP World Tour Q-School, but it would also be nice to win the Order of Merit of the Alps Tour. I don’t know if I can win it or not. It will change next year because I think the three of us who have won three tournaments will get a different category, but it’s always nice to win.”

Robert Moran : “I’m pretty happy with the last couple of days. To make only one bogey in two rounds is pretty good, and the 18th hole yesterday was playing pretty difficult. So I’m pretty happy with my golf.

“I’ve kept it in play pretty well and haven’t hit too many drivers. I played quite solidly today for 15 holes. I had a birdie putt on every hole, which is nice. I was quite poor over the last three holes, but my short game and putting saved me. It was nice to know that if I don’t hit the long-game shots I’m hoping for, my short game is pretty good.

“Honestly, I’m not even thinking about the Top 5. I’ve done a pretty good job of setting really short-term goals and focusing on each hole. I just try to do the best I can on that hole and then repeat it. I haven’t really been thinking about too many other things, so that’s pretty good.”
