Final Round Player Quotes

Ronan Mullarney, 28 years old from Ireland, captures his second win of the season at the 2023 Hauts de France- Pas de Calais Golf Open after three rounds without a single bogey and a 9-shot margin! He shot a final round of 5 under-par, 66 with 5 birdies. He turned professional in 2019 and won his 1st full-field professional event at the 31st Gösser Open earlier this year. This is his 1st full playing season on the Alps Tour and after today’s win, he became the new Order of Merit leader heading into the 2023 Alps Tour Grand Final. After his 3rd bogey-free round, which sealed his win, Mullarney commented, “I’m delighted. It was good, it might not have looked stressful but trust me, it was extremely stressful. Today was by far the best I’ve played. The first 2 rounds, my short game saved me, but today I was very comfortable and I played well.”  He looked very comfortable on the golf course but Mullarney thought differently, “I might have looked very in control but there are so many stories of people throwing away leads that it’s never hugely comfortable.” After his fabulous week, he secured his Challenge Tour card for the 2024 season, which was a big priority for him, “Yeah, securing my card for the Challenge Tour was a big goal of mine. It’s my 3rd year as a pro and my 1st year on the Alps Tour so definitely things this year have gone a lot smoother than the 1st few years, so I supposed it’s part of the learning process.” Mullarney heads into the 2023 Alps Tour Grand Final, 1st in the Order of Merit rank, and knowing he has his card secured, however, “I’m really competitive, I’m definitely will be heading to Asolo Golf Club trying to grab another trophy. I’ll be playing a pro-am in Spain next week and then will prepare for the Final.”

Thirty-year-old, Italy’s Enrico Di Nitto who represents Olgiata Golf Club, shot an incredible 6 under-par, 65 final round for a three-day total of 7 under-par to conclude the tournament in a tie for 2nd place. He made 6 birdies and 1 bogey on the front nine and 1 birdie on the back to conclude his round. Prior to this tournament, he was 16th in the Alps Tour Order of Merit rank. After his final round, Di Nitto commented on how: “Yesterday I was playing well and then I hit two really bad shots out of nowhere, and after the round, I took time to reflect on what happened. Today I began the round really determined, and the first 3 birdies definitely helped put a good round together. My irons shots were perfect today, which makes me really happy.” Di Nittobecame a multiple winner on the Alps Tour before he was able to move up to the Challenge Tour in 2016 thanks to the results he had achieved on the Alps Tour. His priority is, “obviously to get back my playing status on the Challenge Tour. Hopefully, I will be able to achieve it this season. I had some issues mid-season, I missed a few cuts, and my attitude wasn’t great. I was going back and forth between deciding if I was going to play the Alps Tour or the Challenge Tour until the very last. I decided it was best to focus on the Alps Tour and have some good results which would allow me to move back up.” 

Manfredi Manica
 from Italy, who won his 1st professional title at the 2023 Aravell Golf Open by Creand concluded the tournament tied in 2nd place with Di Nitto at -7 under-par. He is 27 years old, turned professional at the end of 2021, and currently represents Golf Nazionale. He shot a final round of 2 over-par, 73 with 5 bogeys and 3 birdies.

The Alps Tour Order of Merit rank heading into the 2023 Alps Tour Grand Final has Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney leading and Netherland’s Kiet Van der Weele and France’s Oihan Guillamoundeguy to close out the top three spots. In 4th place, England’s Jack Floydd and in 5th place Netherland’s Lars Keunen.

LETAS

In the LET Access Series event, Slovenia’s Katja Pogacar and Lejan Lewthwaite from South Africa took part in a three-hole sudden-death playoff on the 18th hole. After 3 holes, Lejan Lewthwaite conquered the trophy.

He turned professional in 2019, and this is his 1st full year on the Alps Tour. After his 2nd bogey-free round, Mullarney commented, “my short game was very good today, my long game was ok, but honestly, nothing really stood out. I’ve been working really hard on my putting, chipping, and wedge play, so it feels good. It added up to a good score, but it definitely didn’t feel as tidy as maybe it looked but I’m very happy.” He found that, “it’s really tricky out there, to be honest, there is a lot of concentration going on. I tend to play better on those types of courses so there is a lot of things to be thinking about it I will focus on the golf, and I’ll worry about the rest later as I don’t have time for it.” When asked about competing in a mixed event with the LETAS, Mullarney acknowledged that, “It’s nice, we are not really mixed so it doesn’t really feel we are in the same exact tournament, but it’s nice. This is the best tournament we’ve played the whole year by far, the organization and everything that goes in it is brilliant here. It’s probably the best golf course also, for sure one of them.” Looking ahead to the final round tomorrow, Mullarney said, “To win, I have to be one shot better than the next person. That’s it.”

Manica is 27 years old, turned professional at the end of 2021, and currently represents Golf NazionaleAfter his round, Manica commented:“there definitely was more wind today, I had a slow start today, a bogey on the 2nd hole, which doesn’t help. I tried to get in the rhythm of things and had a great finish. It could have been an even better one, but I’m in a great position to battle for it tomorrow.” He’s 11th in the Order of Merit rank and is looking to make a final move, “I would be lying if I said I’m not thinking about the Order of Merit, but let’s worry about that tomorrow. There is a lot of golf left, the front nine and some accurate tee shots will be crucial in putting a good round together.”  

Netherland’s Davey Porsius, 28 years old, is in 3rd place at 7 under-par and 4 strokes off the lead. He shot a second round of 5 under-par, 65 with 6 birdies and 1 bogey.

Yesterday, the afternoon was calm, so you never know what can happen. I will try and do my best tomorrow, stick to my game plan, and see what will after on the 18th hole.” 

LETAS

In the LET Access Series event, Slovenia’s Katja Pogacar, 29 years old, keeps her lead after two rounds. She has a two-day total of 10 under-par.

Tied for 4th place a 3 under-par: Estonia’s Sander Aadusaar, Finland’s Eemil Alajarvi, England’s Jack Floydd, France’s Benjamin Kedochim and Netherland’s Lars Keunen.

The 2023 Hauts de France – Pas de Calais Golf Open is a co-sanctioned tournament between players from the Alps Tour and the Ladies European Tour Access Series (LETAS). The event is being played on the same course with alternating tee times between the Alps Tour players and LETAS players. There are 66 players competing from each tour for two different dedicated prize funds and, thus, trophies.

The Alps Tour players are playing the golf course as a 6182 meters par 71. The Ladies European Tour Access Series(LETAS) players are playing the golf course as a 5349 meters par 73.

The first round of the 2023 Hauts de France- Pas de Calais Golf Open, played at Aa Saint- Omer Golf Club in the Northwestern part of France, began at 8:15 am local time this morning from the 1st and 10th hole. Players were able to compete with perfect scoring and weather conditions throughout the entire first round, as there were beautiful sunny skies, a pleasant climate, and some light winds.

Round 1 Player Quotes

Twenty years old, French amateur Théo Boulet leads the field with a bogey-free 6 under-par, 65 after the 1st round of the 2023 Hauts de France- Pas de Calais Golf Open. He currently represents Golf de Chantilly and is still competing as an amateur in his 1st full season on the Alps Tour. He made 3 birdies on the front nine and 3 birdies on the back, including 2 birdies in his last 3 holes. After the round, Boulet was very satisfied with his 1st round: “I’m very happy with my 1st round. A lot of good things happened today. I putted extremely well today, and my long game was sharp too. I will try to keep it going tomorrow and hope to do even better. There is still a lot of golf left to be played, but I will keep my feet very grounded and keep improving.”  When asked about his playing status, he “we will see what happens, but I would like to turn pro at the end of the year, I know I will be able to have a good category on the Alps Tour next season, but the objective will be to have a good playing status for next year.” Boulet made 2 birdies in his last three holes, and one of them occurred on the 16th hole where “I hit a wayward tee shot on the 16th hole, I found myself on the other fairway, it was difficult to get the good yardage as I had to do a bunch calculation. It could have gone both ways; a bad shot would have turned the score for the hole into at least a bogey, but a good shot would have been very rewarding. I hit a good shot, and the ball bounced the right way, I ended up 2.5 meters from the hole and made the putt. It was a very satisfying birdie and a good confidence booster. I’m looking forward to keeping it going tomorrow.”

Italy’s Manfredi Manica, who captured his 1st professional win at the 2023 Aravell Golf Open by Creand, finds himself in 3rdplace after the first round of the 2023 Hauts de France- Pas de Calais Golf Open with a bogey-free 5 under-par, 66. Manica is 27 years old, turned professional at the end of 2021, and currently represents Golf Nazionale. After his bogey-free round, Manica commented that, “the course is definitely playing easier than last year, it’s a bit softer and playing longer but on a lot of tee shots, the fact that the ball won’t roll out as much helps. Today was definitely a very positive start to the tournament.” He currently sits 11th in the Alps Tour Order of Merit rank and is looking to make a final move in the ranks but is trying to stay present in the moment, “fingers crossed, it’s definitely on my mind but let’s not say anything. There is still a lot of golf left to be played.” After the opening round, he planned to do some “light practice this afternoon, especially some putting, and then some rest before tomorrow.” Manica went on to add that he believes the key to capturing the win this week will be “your tee shots for sure if you can place them in the correct spots it can be a big advantage and then obviously putting. Those two together will make a difference on the scorecard for sure.”

The winner of the 31st Gösser Open, Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney who currently is 3rd in the Order of Merit rank, concludes the 1st round of the tournament in 3rd place with a 4 under-par, 67. He shot a bogey-free round with 3 birdies on the front nine and 1 birdie on the back. He previously had played in some events in 2020 before the Covid-19 pandemic began, but this is his 1stfull year on the Alps TourMullarney turned professional in 2019 and competed in the 2022 Open Championship.

Sander Aadusaar from Estonia, concluded his first round with a 3 under-par, 68 and be in a 5-way tie for 4th place. During his round, he made 3 birdies on the front nine holes and 1 double bogey and 2 birdies on the back nine. He is 28 years old and represents Niitvalja Golf ClubAadusaar found that it’s easier to make birdies on this golf course this year as, “the course is softer than last year, and I feel like it’s a bit easier to make birdies, however, I still have a double bogey on the card and I feel like it’s a course that can change very quickly so I want to stay patient and see what the next two rounds will bring.” He’s satisfied with how he played, “I’m hitting the ball well and gave myself chances. I’m trying to avoid making mistakes and sticky to the game plan.” Aadusaar believes that there won’t be too much difference in the scores today between the morning and afternoon wave as, “today was definitely a calm day, we didn’t have much wind at all so I don’t think there will be much difference between the 2 waves. Hopefully, tomorrow will be the same way.”

Finland’s Eemil Alajarvi, England’s Jack Floydd, France’s Benjamin Kedochim and Netherland’s Lars Keunen are in the 5-way tie for 4th place alongside Estonia’s Sander Aadusaar at 3 under-par.The 66 players are competing for an overall prize fund of €40.000 and 45,000 Order of Merit points.

Final Round Player Quotes
France’s Oihan Guillamoundeguy earns his 1st professional win at the 2023 Abruzzo Alps Open. He shot a final round of 4 under-par, 66 with 2 bogeys and 6 birdies to conclude the tournament with a three-day total of 13 under-par. He is just 18 years old, turned professional at the end of 2022 and currently represents Golf Club SeignosseGuillamoundeguy already was an Alps Tour winner as he won last season while he was still competing as an amateur. After he sealed his 1st win, Guillamoundeguy was very emotional: “today was really good. It was a good fight. The pins were really tricky today but I did really well with my caddie. I made a small mistake on the 9th hole but was able to bounce back with a birdie on the 12th so it was really good. I’m so happy, it’s a nice feeling.”  He went to add that he found, Miglianico Golf & Country Club is a really good course, there are some easy holes and some tough holes. It’s a bit tricky but if you want to win here you have to hit the ball well.”  Guillamoundeguy was pleased about today as, “I moved up in the Order of Merit and that was my objective. You know the 1st year as a pro isn’t always easy as there is a lot of pressure but I’m really happy about how this week went. Now I will go back home and enjoy this win with my friends and family and then back to work to focus on the end of the season where I want to try and win another tournament.” 

Twenty-seven years old, Davey Porsius, from Netherland concludes the tournament in 2nd place, only 1 stroke from the title. He stayed near the top of the leaderboard for the entire week and was in the lead after yesterday’s 2nd round.

After his round, he commented: “I played pretty solid for 16 holes, I was trying to shoot 2 or 3 under-par which then Oihan had to go 4 or 5 under-par. I definitely regret hitting driver Out of Bounds on the 17th hole. I had a 1 shot lead at the time and the only thing you can’t do on that hole I did so that is a major regret I have and then I unfortunately tried to make it up on the last hole and I missed a 1m30 putt for birdie on the 18th hole to force a playoff.” Porsius went on to add that “I knew I had to play well this week. Unfortunately, it’ll be a few weeks until the next tournament where I will actually be in the field to defend the title so hopefully I can give myself another opportunity to grab a win this season. I will keep focused in these weeks off on the golf and what I’ve been working on as I finished 3rd last week and 2nd this week so results are coming.”

The tournament ends with a 4-way tie for 3rd place with a three-day score of 10 under-par: Estonia’s Sander Aadusaar, Spain’s Victor Garcia Broto and French Duo: Augustin Hole and Franck Medale.  Tied for 7th place only 1 stroke back, 3 of this season’s previous winner: Spain’s Quim Vidal, Netherland’s Lars Keunen and Italy’s Manfredi Manica.
