Repetto secures La Cigale Golf Open title after tournament cut to 36 holes
Tabarka, March 27th, 2025 – La Cigale Golf Open by Alps Tour concluded with Spaniard Rocco Repetto emerging as the champion after the tournament was officially shortened to 36 holes due to unplayable weather conditions. The third and final round, scheduled for today, was cancelled following a decision by Tournament Director Bertrand Aycoberry, prompted by persistent high winds and thunderstorms in the area. As a result, the scores at the end of yesterday’s second round have been declared final, crowning Repetto the winner at -8 (66-70).
Repetto’s performance in the second round, featuring a bogey-free back nine with a chip-in birdie on the 16th and a closing birdie on the 18th, secured his lead. Italy’s Filippo Bergamaschi finished a close second at -7 (66-71), just one shot behind, after holding the lead earlier in the day. France’s Tom Gueant claimed third place at -6 (68-70), while Spain’s Alejandro Aguilera and Italy’s Jacopo Vecchi Fossa shared fourth place at -4, four strokes under par.
TODAY PLAYERS QUOTES
Spaniard Rocco Repetto, 22, with this victory has earned 5,872.05 points (adjusted to 90% due to the reduction to 36 holes) and secures second place in the ODM. Here are his statements before the award ceremony:
“It was very bad weather today, I didn’t see much possibility of going out to play. Yesterday I managed to play a good round and come out on top. I’m very happy, it’s tough conditions, but a beautiful golf course, and I’ve played very good golf this week, so I’m glad I got the win.”
Italian Filippo Bergamaschi, 30, takes second place, which guarantees him entry into the Top 10 of the ODM, landing in 8th place with 6,240.94 points.
“I’m happy, my feelings are a bit bittersweet, let’s say… Second place is a great result, but obviously I didn’t have an extra round to try to make a comeback. I’m playing well and I’m pleased to have regained my form with putting, which had been somewhat lacking in recent weeks, and I can look forward to the next tournaments with optimism.”
