France’s Alexandre Vandermoten claims dominant victory at the inaugural Villa Paradiso Alps Open

Italy, April 11th, 2026 – France’s Alexandre Vandermoten delivered a commanding performance from start to finish to win the inaugural Villa Paradiso Alps Open. Starting the final round with a two-shot lead, the Frenchman quickly extended his advantage with two birdies in his opening holes. Despite a setback with a double bogey on the 6th, the Toulouse Golf Club player showed great composure, bouncing back with two birdies on the back nine to secure his first professional victory.

Thanks to a final round of 70 (-2), the rookie finished three shots clear of fellow Qualifying School graduate Pablo Alperi and Ireland’s Robert Moran, who shared second place. For Moran, it marks a third runner-up finish in four events this season.

Round 2 Player Quotes

Alexandre Vandermoten : “My putting was very good all week, and my overall game was really solid. I had already put myself in contention in Egypt, so this is a continuation of that. The more often you get into position, the better your chances of winning. I also had a great week with my friends Aymeric Laussot and Tom Gueant, we shared some great moments, and that always helps. I really enjoyed the course as well. Before the tournament, I had a long call with Raphaël Jacquelin, which helped me regain a fighting mindset and just let my natural game flow. Now the goal is clearly to reach the top 5. I stay humble, but I’ve won one, why not win two more this season?”

Pablo Alperi : “I did everything I could. Alexandre played outstanding golf and is a deserving winner. I’m very happy for him. I just missed that bit of luck you sometimes need to win, maybe a couple more putts dropping. I gave it everything I had, and I’ll sleep well tonight.”
