Maxime Legros secures third victory of the season and earns HotelPlanner Tour promotion

France, June 7th, 2026 – Just one week after Andrea Romano, France’s Maxime Legros became the second player this season to earn automatic promotion to the HotelPlanner Tour by claiming a third Alps Tour title. Following victories at the Dreamland Open and the Miglianico Alps Open, the Frenchman added the Open International de la Mirabelle d’Or to his impressive 2026 campaign.

Starting the final round one shot behind overnight leader Enrico Di Nitto, the Dinard-based player needed only one hole to catch the Italian. He then took control of the tournament with an eagle, five birdies and a single bogey on his way to a superb 63 (-7).

Di Nitto, playing alongside Legros in the final group, could only manage an even-par round. The Italian nevertheless shared second place, six shots behind the winner, with compatriot Alessandro Nodari, who closed with a solid 65 (-5).

Ireland’s Robert Moran and Italy’s Davide Buchi shared fourth place, seven strokes back.

Behind Andrea Romano and Maxime Legros, Robert Moran consolidated his third position in the Order of Merit ahead of Spain’s Pablo Alperi Lopez (4th) and Mario Galiano Aguilar (5th). Thanks to his runner-up finish, Alessandro Nodari climbed to sixth place and moved within striking distance of the top five.

The race for qualification to the 2026 Hulencourt Alps Tour Grand Final and promotion to the HotelPlanner Tour will resume from Thursday, June 11th, at Club de Golf Playa Serena in Roquetas de Mar, Spain, for the 2026 Alps de Andalucía – Roquetas de Mar.

Round 3 Player Quote

Maxime Legros: “I’m very happy and, above all, very relieved. I won’t have to answer all those questions anymore about when the third win was going to come. Since the start of the tournament, I had played better on the back nine, so my goal was to get off to a strong start. I managed to build an advantage quite quickly, but I let Enrico back into it with a couple of three-putts. Thankfully, I was able to extend my lead again on the back nine.

By the 16th hole, I was five shots ahead and started imagining every possible disaster scenario. But after making birdie on 17, I was finally able to fully enjoy the walk up the 18th.

The injury I suffered last year has actually helped me become much calmer on the golf course. I’ve also improved a lot with my putting, which gives me much more confidence in my game.

I’ll be able to start my HotelPlanner Tour journey with the French swing, which is great because it’s close to home. I want to use these next six months to adapt to a new tour, new courses and new opponents.”

France’s Louis Darthenay takes slim lead into final round of the Open de Roissy – Grand Prix PGA France

France, May 29th, 2026 – After carding a superb 65 (-7) in the morning despite a lone bogey, Italy’s Alessandro Nodari looked set to lead heading into the final round of the Open de Roissy – Grand Prix PGA France. But his -11 total was eventually surpassed in the closing moments of the day.

Late in the afternoon, Frenchman Louis Darthenay moved into the lead thanks to a matching 65 (-7). Coming from the national field, Darthenay already experienced contention on the Alps Tour when he challenged for victory at the 2024 Lacanau Alps Open.

France’s Dorian Fournier sits in third place, two shots behind the leader, alongside Italy’s Andrea Romano. The current Order of Merit leader produced a sensational 62 (-10), setting the lowest score in the history of Golf International de Roissy.

For tomorrow’s final round, play will begin at 8:40 a.m. from both the 1st and 10th tees. At the conclusion of the third round, the winner will receive €7,900 and 6,525 Order of Merit points. In the event of a tie, a playoff will determine the champion.

Round 2 Player Quotes

Louis Darthenay: “Another really solid round with only one bogey today. I managed the easier holes better than yesterday, and my driving was strong all day — long and straight. I also putted very well and took my chances. I already had the opportunity to contend for a win a couple of years ago, and tomorrow I’ll try to do the same. I definitely feel less pressure this time.”

Alessandro Nodari: “I had a great start with birdie, eagle, and another birdie on the par five. Conditions were a bit easier this morning, so I just focused on staying shot by shot. Even after two three-putt bogeys on the back nine, I stayed focused. Tomorrow, I won’t change anything in my strategy.”

Andrea Romano: “After yesterday’s level-par round, I was disappointed and maybe not in the right mindset. I’m also a bit tired after four weeks in a row playing, so today I just tried to give my best with the energy I had left. Thankfully, it turned into a great round. After some difficult years, it feels good to finally see the work paying off. In golf, you just need patience and never give up.”

France’s Maxime Legros claims a second win at the Miglianico Alps Open

Italy, May 2nd, 2026 – France’s Maxime Legros claimed his second Alps Tour title in less than two weeks, following up his win at the Dreamland Open with another impressive performance at the Miglianico Alps Open.

After nearly 30 events to secure his maiden victory, Legros needed only a matter of days to double his tally. Starting the final round one shot behind the lead, the Frenchman delivered a strong 66 (-4) at Il Cerreto di Miglianico Golf.

Two decisive stretches of three consecutive birdies, from holes 7 to 9 and again from 13 to 15, proved to be the difference. He becomes the second multiple winner of the season after Italy’s Andrea Romano, who won twice earlier this year in Egypt.

Overnight leader Alessandro Nodari had to settle for a final-round 69 (-1), affected by a double bogey and two bogeys. The Italian shares second place with Austria’s Christoph Bleier and France’s Ewan Le Tennier.

Full Leaderboard

With this victory, Legros earns €7,200 and 6,525 Order of Merit points and moves to the top of the standings, just ahead of Italy’s Andrea Romano. Ireland’s Robert Moran and Spain’s Mario Galiano Aguilar and Pablo Alperi Lopez complete the top five.

The players will return to action on Thursday, May 14th in Austria for the Gosser Open.

Round 3 Player Quotes

Maxime Legros: “It was completely different from my win at Dreamland, where I had a big lead all day. This time, I was behind until the middle of the round — I was even four shots back after six holes. But I stuck to my game plan. With a two-shot lead towards the end, I managed to stay composed and bring the title home.

Now the goal is to be in the top 6 after the Biarritz Cup to avoid PQ1, and then finish in the top 5 overall. With two wins, of course you want to go for a third one, but we know how quickly things can change in golf. You have to take advantage when you’re playing well, and I’m happy I’m doing that right now. A big thank you to my coaches, my sponsors, my family and my girlfriend.”

Ewan Le Tennier: “What was missing this week was definitely my chipping. I gave myself plenty of chances to make birdies — I made eight today — so there was room to go lower. But my chipping wasn’t sharp enough, and every small mistake ended up costing me a bogey, which made it difficult to post a really low score.

That said, I’m very happy with my start to the season. It’s another podium finish after Dreamland, and I played a very good final round today — bogey-free with four birdies. I’ve made eight cuts in eight events, so for my first season, I’m really pleased with how things are going.”

Christoph Bleier: “It’s been a bit tough over the last two days. I wasn’t really hitting it well and had to scramble a lot. The wind made it pretty tricky to score low, so it was really impressive to see Max finish the way he did, especially with those birdies on 13, 14 and 15. Unfortunately, I couldn’t keep up with him this week because, as I said, I wasn’t striking it great.

Overall, I’m really happy with three top-ten finishes. I’m playing good golf at the moment and looking forward to keeping that going, hopefully giving myself a chance later in the season to move up to the HotelPlanner Tour. For now, I’ll take it one tournament at a time. I’m heading to play on the HotelPlanner Tour next week in Italy at Golf Nazionale, then I’ll be back for the Gösser Open.”

Italy’s Alessandro Nodari in strong position at the Miglianico Alps Open

Italy, May 1st, 2026 – Italy’s Alessandro Nodari will have the opportunity to claim his first professional title on home soil after taking the lead following the second round of the Miglianico Alps Open.

The 25-year-old carded a second consecutive 66 (-4) to move into the top spot, delivering a solid performance that included one eagle, four birdies and two bogeys in challenging windy conditions.

Full leaderboard

First-round leader Christoph Bleier remains firmly in contention, just one shot back. The Austrian shares second place with Spain’s Gonzalo Leal and France’s Maxime Legros, winner of the Dreamland Open two weeks ago.

France’s Ewan Le Tennier sits in fifth place, two strokes behind Nodari, and still very much in the mix heading into the final round.

For tomorrow’s final round, play will begin at 8:00 a.m. from both the 1st and 10th tees. At the conclusion of the third round, the winner will receive €7,200 and 6,525 Order of Merit points. In the event of a tie, a playoff will determine the champion.

Round 2 Player Quote

Alessandro Nodari: “It was a solid day. I knew the scoring wouldn’t be very low because of the conditions, the wind was very strong. I just tried to hit the ball straight like yesterday and felt comfortable off the tee. I missed a couple of short putts early on, but I stayed patient and kept going. The wind got even stronger later, so hitting fairways became key. I missed a few greens but chipped very well to save par. On hole 8, I drove the green and made eagle for the second time, and finishing with a birdie on my last hole was good. My driving and iron play worked very well today, the putting wasn’t the best part of my game, but overall I’m very satisfied.”

Austria’s Christoph Bleier takes advantage of late conditions to lead in Miglianico

Italy, April 30th, 2026 – Austria’s Christoph Bleier capitalised on more favourable afternoon conditions to take the lead after the opening round of the Miglianico Alps Open at Il Cerreto di Miglianico Golf.

Weather played a key role on Thursday, with the morning wave facing rain, while the afternoon starters enjoyed calmer conditions. Taking full advantage, Bleier signed an impressive 64 (-6) to set the early pace. The Austrian’s round was eventful, featuring seven birdies, one eagle and three bogeys.

Full leaderboard

Also playing in the afternoon, France’s Ewan Le Tennier sits just one shot back after a solid 65 (-5). Italy’s Alessandro Nodari holds third place at -4, highlighted by a hole-in-one on the 15th. A group of seven players shares fourth place at -3.

For Round 2, play will begin at 7:30 a.m. from both the 1st and 10th tees. At the conclusion of the second round, a cut will be made to the top 40 professionals and ties, who will advance to the final round (including all amateurs within the cut).

Round 1 Player Quotes

Christoph Bleier: “Today’s round was a bit wild, but I did a really good job making the important putts and hitting some key chip shots when I needed to. I also had a bit of luck — on hole 4, I hit it into the trees but ended up with a great lie and made birdie. On 18, I hit a drive that just carried the water, then an 8-iron to two metres for eagle. Overall, I stayed very composed. I didn’t feel nervous or stressed, even if I wasn’t hitting it exactly how I wanted. It could have been a bit tidier, a bit less wild, but overall it was really good golf.”

Mason Essam : “It was a solid round today. I got off to a nice start, and I was a bit surprised to be leading at -3 after the morning session, but the conditions were quite tricky with the wind and some rain this morning. I just focused on taking it shot by shot. I’m still recovering from a stomach issue from Egypt, so that was also a challenge out there. My short game really helped me today — I relied a lot on my chipping and gave myself a lot of easy pars. Tomorrow, I’d like to hit it closer with my irons and wedges, especially on scoring holes where I felt I could have created more chances.”

Paul Franquet makes it three in a row for France with Allegria Open win

Egypt, April 26th, 2026 – Paul Franquet extended France’s winning run on the Alps Tour by claiming his maiden title at the Allegria Open, overcoming challenging conditions in a dramatic final round.

Strong winds made scoring difficult throughout the day at Allegria Golf Club. The Frenchman, who had led since the start, struggled early with three bogeys in his first five holes.

However, the Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche player showed great resilience, adapting to the conditions and fighting back. A crucial birdie on the 10th put him back on track before a stunning finish — a brilliant iron shot at the 17th set up a tap-in birdie, followed by an eagle on the 18th to seal victory in style.

Full Leaderboard

Aymeric Laussot, who held the lead with three holes to play, saw his chances slip away with back-to-back bogeys on the 16th and 17th. He eventually shared second place with fellow Frenchman Augustin Holé, who fired an impressive 67 (-5), Italy’s Alessandro Nodari, and Spain’s Gonzalo Leal.

With this victory, Franquet earns €6,200 and 6,525 Order of Merit points and moves up to seventh place in the standings, while the top five remains unchanged.

The players will return to action on Thursday, April 30th in Italy for the 2026 Miglianico Alps Open.

Round 3 Player Quotes

Paul Franquet: “It felt like such a long day. The course was completely different from the first two rounds — the wind had changed direction and the pin positions were tougher. It was a real test of golf and mental strength. I actually played very well but had a lot of bad breaks. I just told myself to stay patient, and finishing birdie-eagle to win is incredible. I was +3 after five holes but still felt I was playing well. Once I adjusted to the wind, I really found my rhythm. It’s only been six months since I turned professional, so this is a huge relief. Last season I had a couple of chances but couldn’t close it out. I worked a lot on my mental game, and today it paid off.”

Gonzalo Leal: “I’m proud because even after hitting two balls out of bounds, I never gave up and kept fighting until the end. Finishing three under over the last four holes makes me quite satisfied with my attitude. It’s a shame to come so close, but that’s golf. I feel good, I’ve started the season solidly, consistently around the top 20, top 15, top 10. I just need to take that next step and create more opportunities like this to eventually get a win.”
