Round 3 Player Quotes

Andrea Romano : “It was a really tough day for me because I didn’t sleep well last night. I woke up several times and felt a bit stressed at the start, which showed early on with a bogey on the first and another one on the seventh. But on the back nine, I told myself to stay patient because I knew my game was solid. My putting was key today — when I’m putting well, I know I can be very competitive and put myself in contention. Starting the season like this is amazing, I couldn’t have asked for better start. Now I’ll reset, take a short break, and stay focused because the season is still long and it’s not done yet.”

Mario Galiano Aguilar : “It’s great to be in contention again. Playing in the final groups for three tournaments in a row is an amazing feeling. I’m very happy with my game at the moment, and I’ll try to keep doing the same in the upcoming events. Andrea played incredible golf and fully deserved the win. Now it’s about keeping the momentum going.”
