Final Round Player Quotes
Spanish amateur Albert Boneta, 22, who has been in the lead since the opening round of the tournament, comes out on top to earn the 2024 Alps de Las Castillas title. He followed his incredible opening round of 12 under-par, 60, with a 6 under-par, 66 in yesterday’s round 2, and today he shot a 7 under-par, 65 to conclude the tournament with a three-day total of 25 under-par. Boneta, in today’s final round, made 1 eagle, 7 birdies, and 2 bogeys. His opening round tied the tournament course record set at Golf Lerma. He recently graduated in Finance and Psychology at New Mexico University and plans to turn professional later this year. After his win, Boneta was very emotional but happy: “It was an unexpected win, I played last week’s tournament, the Alps de Andalucía and learned a lot and that helped me a lot this week I must say. I’m very happy; it’s the beginning of my life as a professional player, and that’s always been my dream. There is no way better to start than with a win amongst the professionals. I was quite relaxed from the beginning of the tournament, and then I had a big advantage because I started very well, so I was not nervous, I must say.” He added that: “I was very calm from the beginning of the tournament. I knew my game was good, and I was very relaxed the entire time. The best thing has been the putting, it’s what I’ve been working on the most lately, and it’s been phenomenal. It’s what has helped me to win because in the end, to make minus 25, no matter how well you hit the ball, you must make quite a few putts.” Boneta wants to “dedicate this win to my parents. They have supported me and have always been with me from the start. They came as they wanted to watch me play today, so this win is for them.” Winning this tournament has a big meaning for Boneta: “shows me that I am able to compete amongst the professionals, and this week allowed me to secure my card for next year, so it’s great.”
