Final Round Quotes

Italy’s Andrea Romano, 25, who secured his first professional title earlier this year at the 2025 Alps de Andalucía-Roquetas de Mar, claimed his second win in less than one month at this week’s 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps de La Gomera.Taking the lead after the second round, Romano closed out the final round with an outstanding 8 under-par 63 to end the tournament with a three-day total of 19 under-par. He got off to a blazing start with three consecutive birdies from holes 1 to 3, followed by steady pars on holes 4 and 5. Romano then birdied hole 6, eagled the par-5 7th hole, and capped the front nine with back-to-back birdies on 8 and 9 to post a remarkable 28. On the back nine, after a series of pars, he faced a bogey on the 14th hole but bounced back with a crucial birdie on the 17th, sealing his victory with a two-stroke margin. Romano also participated in last week’s DP World Tour Italian Open, further highlighting his rapid rise in professional golf. “I played really, really well today, especially on the front nine where I shot 8 under par without missing a single putt,” he said. Reflecting on today’s competition, Romano added, “It was a true honor for me to compete alongside Alvaro Quiros in the final round. He is a great player. I’ve known him since I was 17, when I had the chance to play a practice round with him at the Verdura Open on the DP World Tour. To be able to battle with him for the win today is something I will remember for a while.” Looking back at his recent form, Romano explained, “Playing the Italian Open last week helped me a lot because I played well, I finished, if I’m not mistaken, in the top 30, and it gave me more confidence competing out here. I know I can perform well; it’s a matter of confidence and abilities. If I can play well and have good results on the DP World Tour, it means I can do the same out here.” Concluding on a personal note, he said, “This win is for my family and mainly my mom, who has been there every step of the way. I will now enjoy it and refocus for next week.”

Spain’s Javier Barcos and Alvaro Quiros finished the week in a two-way tie for second place with a three-day total of 17 under par. In the final round, Barcos posted an impressive 8 under-par 63, while Quiros carded a 6 under-par 65.

Following the 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps de La Gomera, Italy’s Jacopo Vecchi Fossa retains his position as the Order of Merit leader with 20,631.38 points. Spain’s Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela moves up to second place, accumulating 20,248.13 points, while fellow Spaniard Javier Barcos is in third place with 19,465.34 points. This week’s winner, Italy’s Andrea Romano, climbs eight spots to 5th place, now with 16,950.06 points in the rankings.

In a tightly packed leaderboard, there is a two-way tie for 2nd place at 6 under-par between Spain’s Javier Barcos and veteran Alvaro Quiros. Just one shot back, France’s Quentin Debove joins five Spanish players: Juan Salama MonsalveAlfonso BuendiaBorja MartinJavier Calles Roman, and Hugo Esposito, all within striking distance in tomorrow’s second round.

On the beautiful Island of La Gomera, in the Canary Islands, the first round of the 202Fred. Olsen Alps De La Gomera played at the scenic Tecina Golf, began at 8:00 a.m. local time. This is the 5th edition of the tournament, following its previous three editions, which were hosted in 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023. The players were able to compete under perfect weather conditions, which favored good scoring opportunities as they began the tournament with sunny skies and light winds.

Tecina Golf has served as a launchpad for rising talent, some of whom have gone on to become stars on the global stage.

Round 1 Players Quote

Italy’s Marco Florioli set the early pace at the 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps de La Gomera, taking the First-Round lead with an impressive 7-under-par 64. The 20-year-old showcased his skill and composure around Tecina Golf, carding an eagle on the par-5 7th hole, six birdies on holes 3, 6, 8, 9, 16, and 17, and just a single bogey on the 11th hole. Florioli’s strong start puts him at the top of the leaderboard heading into the second round of the event. The 20-year-old Italian credited his precise approach shots for his impressive score. “Today, of course, everything went pretty well, especially my approach shots into the greens. I believe that’s the key to scoring well around Tecina Golf,” he said. Florioli noted that weather conditions added an extra challenge mid-round. “We began the day with no wind, then mid-round it picked up a little bit, and it became quite challenging in the middle part of the round.” Reflecting on his round’s highlights, he pointed to a key stretch of holes. “Today’s highlight definitely was the eagle on the 7th hole after a birdie and the two more birdies in a row, which helped a lot and kept the momentum going.”  He also credited the comfort of playing alongside a close friend for his positive mindset. “Today I played with one of my best friends, which helped a lot. I was at ease on the course and really enjoyed the day. That was a big part of today.” Looking ahead, Florioli acknowledged the importance of maintaining his performance. “To be at the top after the first round is very important. It feels good to be there, and hopefully, I can keep the same strategy in the next two days, and I will remain at the top.”

Javier Barcos, 23, from Spain, continued his strong season on the Alps Tour by firing a bogey-free 6 under-par, 65 in the opening round of the 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps de La Gomera, moving into a two-way tie for second place. Currently ranked fourth in the Order of Merit and winner of this year’s New Giza OpenBarcos delivered a consistent and composed performance, carding six birdies on holes 2, 3, 6, 9, 14, and 17 to stay within striking distance of the lead. “Today was really good,” said the 23-year-old Spaniard. “I’d say I didn’t have a highlight; it was just solid playing during the whole round with no crazy shots or crazy long putts.” Barcos kept his card clean with no bogeys and showed confidence off the tee and on the greens. “I honestly didn’t have anything that I struggled with,” he added. “Maybe a couple of drivers, but nothing too bad.” While pleased to be in contention early, Barcos remains focused on consistency. “It is good to be at the top from the beginning, but the important thing is just to keep playing as you are and not try anything different, just be yourself for the next rounds coming up.” He credited his putting for giving him early momentum: “I started putting really good on the front nine; then on the back nine I didn’t make as many putts, but I kept playing very solid.” Looking ahead, Barcos remains grounded despite the prospect of another win. “It would be great to win again, but it honestly won’t change anything that I’m doing or that I’m planning on doing,” he said. “I’ll just keep working as I am and try to play as good as I can every week.”

Spain’s Alvaro Quiros, 42, joins Barcos in a two-way tie for second place after carding a 6 under-par, 65 in the opening round. The experienced veteran, a seven-time DP World Tour Winner with one additional victory on the HotelPlanner Tour, who turned professional in 2004, showed his class with a steady round marked by momentum shifts. He opened with back-to-back birdies on holes 2 and 3, gave a shot back with a bogey on 4, and bounced back with another birdie on 6. After a bogey on 7, Quiros responded again with a birdie at 9 before making the turn. On the back nine, he found his rhythm, adding birdies on 12, 16, 17, and 18 to cap off a strong finish and position himself firmly in contention heading into the second round. He leaned on his experience throughout the round and credited his precision from tee to green as the foundation of his performance. “Today my long game was extremely consistent, and it was the key to my entire round,” said the 42-year-old Spaniard. “I just missed one green throughout the entire day — on a par 5 where I tried to go for the green in two, and the ball rolled off and ended up in the bunker.” Despite competing at a different level this week, Quiros expressed appreciation for the opportunity to test himself against the Alps Tour’s rising stars. “I’m excited to be here this week. It’s a different level, but it’s incredible to witness how well the young generation of professional golfers are prepared,” he said. “Today I played with a player who is half my age, and to see how he played, how he acted, and how well he was prepared, it was incredible. To keep up and be able to compete with them, you need to have the tools — they are very competitive and prepared.” Looking ahead, Quirós acknowledged the challenge posed by our host venue, particularly around the greens, “this week at Tecina Golf, the tee shots are generous, but around the greens it’s very demanding, the putting and approach shots. Especially lately, those are my weak areas and not as competitive as they need to be, so it’s nice to really test my patience with it,” he continued. “Today and for the rest of the week, my main focus is to enjoy myself, it’s very easy here, the view is beautiful, the weather is great, and I’m going to be as patient as possible with my game.”

At stake this week is a total prize fund of €42,500 and 45,000 Order of Merit points. The winner of the 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps De La Gomera will walk away with €6,200.00 and 6,525 points towards the Order of Merit standings. Once Round 2 is completed, a cut will be made to the top 40 professionals and ties, plus amateurs within the cut.

La Gomera, July 1st, 2025- The Alps Tour heads back to the Canary Islands for the 12th tournament of the season, the 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps De La Gomera. The tournament will be played at the fascinating Tecina Golf from July 3rd– 5th 2025. On July 2nd from 10:00 a.m. local time, approximately 20 teams will participate in the Tour Scramble, Par is Your Friend Pro-Am.

It will mark the tournament’s fifth edition, following successful editions in 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023. These previous editions have helped establish the event as one of the most highly regarded stops on the Alps Tour calendar. The tournament was not held in 2024 due to renovations at the host venue, Hotel Jardín Tecina.

Tecina Golf has served as a launchpad for rising talent, some of whom have gone on to become stars on the global stage. The course has hosted 19 professional events to date, including eight HotelPlanner Tour tournaments between 2009 and 2016. Among its notable champions is major winner Brooks Koepka, who triumphed here early in his career, in 2013.

The most recent edition, held in 2023, saw Italy’s Gianmaria Rean Trinchero capture the title with a tournament-record score of 19-under par, the lowest winning total in the event’s history.

The Field

Nine of this season’s tournament winners are confirmed to compete at the 2025 Fred.Olsen Alps de la Gomera. Among them are Switzerland’s Luca Galliano, winner of the season-opening 2025 Ein Bay Open; Spain’s Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela, champion of both the 2025 Red Sea Little Venice Open and the 2025 Tunisian Golf Open; and fellow Spaniard Javier Barcos, winner of the 2025 New Giza Open. Also in the field are Asier Aguirre Izcue of Spain, who triumphed at the 2025 Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON; Spain’s Jorge Maicas, winner of the 2025 Gösser Open; and Javier Calles Roman of Spain, winner of the 2025 Lacanau Alps Open. Italy’s Andrea Romano, who claimed the 2025 Alps de Andalucía – Roquetas de Mar, and rounding out the group is Netherlands’ Jerry Ji, the most recent winner at the 2025 Aravell Golf Open by Creand.

Eight players currently ranked within the Top 10 of the Alps Tour Order of Merit are scheduled to compete this week in the Canary Islands, with the exception of Order of Merit leader Italy’s Jacopo Vecchi Fossa and Spain’s Rocco Repetto Taylor.

Vecchi Fossa, winner of the 2025 Open de La Mirabelle d’Or, competed last week on the DP World Tour at the Italian Open, finishing tied for 10th place and earning an exemption into this week’s DP World Tour event in Germany, the BMW International Open, where he will be competing.

Repetto Taylor, who won the 2025 La Cigale Golf Open by Alps Tour in March, also captured the title at the 2025 Challenge de Cadiz on the HotelPlanner Tour and has since earned playing rights on the higher-level circuit.

As we are more than halfway through the 2025 season, players are eagerly competing to earn a spot in the top 5 Order of Merit rank, which at the end of the season, will give them access to the 2026 HotelPlanner Tour. As well as the leading 6 players (including amateurs) from the Alps Tour Order of Merit within a certain date defined by the DP World Tour, up to 10, not otherwise exempt, will get an exemption for the Stage 1 of the 2025 DP World Tour Qualifying School.
