Italy’s Guido Migliozzi, now a multiple winner on the DP World Tour, secured victory in 2018.

A standout moment came in 2022, when Italy’s Gregorio De Leo recorded a remarkable final-round 59 to capture the title and earn promotion to the Challenge Tour, now the HotelPlanner Tour.

It is played on the same course with alternating tee times between the Alps Tour players and LETAS players. 66 players from each tour compete for two different dedicated prize funds and trophies.

The first round of the 2024 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 a.m. local time this morning from the 1st and 10th hole.

Round 1 Player Quotes

Estonia’s Sander Aadusaar, 29, concluded his first round of the 2024 Hauts de France- Pas de Calais Golf Open with a 3 under-par, 68 and be in a 5-way tie for the lead. During today’s opening round, he made 1 eagle, 2 birdies and 1 bogey on the front nine holes, and 1 birdie and 1 bogey on the back nine. Aadusaar enjoys this venue as he has earned some good performances over the previous two editions. “I think last year I finished 6th, and I also had a good start. To be honest with you it felt just like a normal round, but this course does seem to suit me well. I hit a lot of fairways and greens today. Out of all 18 holes, there was only 1 special hole, hole 7, where I nearly made albatross. I hit it to 10 cm, and it was an eagle tap-in for eagle, but the rest of the round was normal today.” Regarding the weather conditions during today’s opening round, Aadusaar added: “I’m used to this kind of weather, especially the wind, as I played the Nordic League, so wind, is definitely not a problem for me. I’m ready for all kinds of weather this week, especially windy conditions.” Over the past few days, ahead of the start of the tournament, a lot of rain fell over Aa Saint-Omer Golf Club, he thinks that: “hitting the greens on this course is very important, around the greens there are a lot of spots which are soft, wet places. Hence, it’s very difficult to chip from there. However, if you’re on the greens, you’ll be able to give yourself many birdie chances and be in a good place on the leaderboard.”

French amateur, Aaron Van Hauwe, 16, finds himself in a 5-way tie for the lead after round 1 of the 2024 Hauts de France- Pas de Calais Golf Open with a 3 under-par, 68 making 3 birdies on the front nine holes and 1 birdie and 1 bogey on the back nine. Van Hauwe was satisfied after his 1st round: “Overall it was a very good day, my driving was average at the beginning of the round, but I was still able to hit most of the fairways. My iron game and putting especially my lag putts as well as from 3 to 6-meter range were very solid today and that helped me a lot. That’s what allowed me to put together a good round.”

Álvaro Hernández Cabezuela, 27, is the third player in the 5-way tie for the lead after the opening round of the 2024 Hauts de France- Pas de Calais Golf Open. He made 3 birdies and 2 bogeys on the front nine holes, and then once he made the turn, he made two more birdies, one on the 10th hole and the 15th hole to complete his round. He turned professional in 2021, and this is his 4th season on the Alps Tour. After he completed his opening round, Hernández Cabezuela commented: “Today was tricky, I found most of the round to be complicated with the windy conditions. I played well, though, overall, I began with a bogey on hole 2, then a birdie on hole 3 and another bogey on the 4th hole. It was an up-and-down beginning, that’s for sure, but then I was able to birdie 3 holes in a row from holes 9 to 11 and another one on the 15th hole. I played very well all around and barely missed any shots. I felt that I left some shots out there, but we always do, we always try to look for perfection but I’m pretty happy with the opening round overall.”

A two-time season winner, Brandon Kewalramani from the United States, is also in the 5-way tie for the lead with a first-round score of 3 under-par, 68. He made 4 birdies and 1 bogey in today’s round. Kewalramani won the 2024 Alps de Roquetas de Mar and the 2024 Alps de Andalucia and is currently 2nd in the Order of Merit ranking. He is looking to secure his card for the 2025 Challenge Tour season with a good performance this week. Kewalramani commented: “Today was a lot of fun, it was pretty cold this morning and windy and I tried to keep the ball lower especially on my approach shots and played a lot more for the center of the greens. I wasn’t looking at too many flags. Once the wind died down, especially towards the end of the day on the shorter holes, I was able to play more aggressively towards the flag. Overall, I had a great time out there today with Ben and Vince; having good company helps.”

He shot a bogey-free 3 under-par, 68 with 2 birdies on the front nine and 1 birdie on the back. Aparicio was very: “Happy about my 3 under-par, it was very well fought, to be honest because at the beginning of the round I wasn’t hitting close to the pins and missed a couple greens, but I made a lot of good up and downs to save my score. My first real birdie opportunity came on hole 18, which was my 9th hole, and I was able to make it. My momentum was good at that point, and I tried to stay as calm as possible and keep going forward.”

Final Round Player Quotes

Italy’s Gianmaria Rean Trinchero, 28 years old representing Golf Club Monticello, came from behind to vanquish his 1stprofessional win at the 2023 Fred.Olsen Alps De La Gomera. He shot an impressive 9 under-par, 62 in today’s final round to conclude with a three-day total of 19 under-par. He had a great start to his final round with 6 birdies in his first 7 holes of the day. Rean Trinchero has captured good results so far this season including a 2nd place finish at the 2023 Gösser Open but was looking to breakthrough and conquer his 1st professional victory. He’s been playing professional golf since 2020 and prior to his win, he was 16th in this season’s Alps Tour Order of Merit rank. After his win, Rean Trinchero’s first reactions were, “I began really well today. I played really well the front nine then I saw that I had a few shot margins between me and the player in 2nd place so I then tried to play less aggressively that’s why I made only 2 birdies on the back nine. I played extremely well and it makes it even more special and I’m very happy.” When asked about what it means to him to have captured his 1stprofessional win and became a 1st time winner on the Alps Tour, he added, “this win means a lot to me. I feel like I’ve been playing well and was 16th in the order of merit and needed to capture a win to try and be in the top 5 spots so it means a lot in this particular moment of the season. More importantly I’ve regained a good level of confidence in my game so I’m very happy about that also. I want to thank my parents, my coaches Giovanni Dassù and my putting coach Camilla Mazzola.”  Looking at the rest of the season, Rean Trinchero added that: “my season goals won’t change. I need another good finish in one of the next two events to be sure I can stay in the top 5 so another win would obviously be great but I’d be happy with a few good top 5 finishes.”

Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela from Spain whos hometown is Tenerife was tied for the lead after two rounds, had a final round of 4 under-par for a three-day total of 15 under-par. He made 1 bogey and 5 birdies in his final round. He is 26 years old, turned professional in 2021 and this is his 3rd season on the Alps Tour. After he completed his last round, Hernandez Cabezuela was satisfied even though he came up short: “I played well but Gianmaria was unbeatable, on the front 9 I left some shots out there as I was only able to make 1 birdie and made a mistake on the 8th hole. Then I played really well on the back nine but I am happy overall because I feel I can win, my performance this week reflects that I am playing well and my time will come.”

The tournament ends with a two-way tie for 3rd place with a three-day score of 13 under-par, Dutch-duo: Davey Porsius and Bob Geurts. In a four-way tie for 5th place only 1 stroke back: Spain’s Quim Vidal, France’s Franck Medale, Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney and France’s Oihan Guillamoundeguy.

After the 11th tournament of the season, Netherland’s Kiet Van der Weele keeps the Alps Tour Order of Merit lead with Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney in 2nd place and England’s Jack Floydd in 3rd place. This week’s winner Italy’s Gianmaria Rean Trinchero, moved into 6th place.

The 2nd round of the 2023 Fred.Olsen Alps De La Gomera which is being played at the breathtaking Tecina Golf on the Island De La Gomera in the Canary Islands began with a 30 minutes delay. They delay occurred as there were some very strong overnight winds that toppled various palm trees throughout the golf course therefore the head superintendent and his staff needed extra time to get the course back into playing conditions for the players. The Alps Tour wants to thank Tecina Golf head superintendent Josè Arrola and his staff as well as Real Federación Española de Golf superintendent Miguel Guerra for their incredible work to allow us to start the second round.

Then I had a couple more chances for birdie but unfortunately didn’t make them. I’m very happy with the score because it was a bit tougher today also condition wise. The wind was obviously a big factor today, it was very gusty so it made it even tougher.” He went on to explain that: “I caught a huge momentum going through the front nine. Just dropped a few putts and hit some really good shots making 4 birdies and 1 eagle in a row. I will for sure be looking for many more tomorrow. I will be focusing on playing my own game, I’ll need to bring my best to hopefully win my 1st title tomorrow and it would be even more special being at home.”

I didn’t play as well as yesterday but today was a great effort. The beginning of the day was a struggle as I was hitting some bad shots and quite unlucky in some situations which was hard but then on the 7th hole, I made a clutch putt for birdie which gave me some good momentum.” Guillamoundeguy made an incredible eagle on the par 4, 9th hole where: “My shot of the day was definitely on the 9th where I hit a 4-iron to about 5 meters from the pin and made the putt for eagle.” He went on to add that: “I will try to catch the win tomorrow for sure.

Round 1 Player Quotes –

England’s Jack Floydd who represents Haywards Heath Golf Club leads by 1 stroke at the conclusion of the 1st round at the 2023 Ein Bay Open. He shot a 7 under-par 65 round today with 3 birdies on the front nine holes and 1 bogey and 5 birdies on the back nine. Jack is 26 years old and turned pro in 2020. After his round, Jack commented: “I played very solid today. My game was great off the tee and gave myself a decent chance for birdie on the majority of the holes.”  During the back nine, he made 4 birdies in a row from holes 14 until 17, when asked if anything different happened he added: “I had chances on the front nine but didn’t start converting until the back nine. It definitely helped that 2 birdie putts were from about 1 foot. However, I did make a long one as well.” Jack currently: “feels in control of my swing and my ball flight. I also had relatively good pace on the greens today which helped. I’ve been working hard with my coaches over the winter and I feel very confident with my game heading into the season.”

Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney, concluded his first round with a 6 under-par, 66 and is in 2nd place only 1 stroke back. He began his round on the 10th hole today and had a strong start making 5 birdies on his front nine and then made 3 birdies and 2 bogeys on his back nine. He begins his first full season on the Alps Tour wanting to gain stability. Ronan turned professional in 2019 and competed in the 2022 Open Championship. After his round, he was pleased with how “how I played today. The wind picked up on my back 9, the course front nine which made it a bit trickier but I practiced hard over the winter so I was ready. My wedge game was very sharp today which helped me put together the round.”

One of the seven players tied for 3rd place at 5 under-par is Italian amateur Flavio Michetti who represents Marco Simone Golf Club. In today’s round, he made 2 birdies and 5 birdies on the front nine and 2 birdies on the back. After he completed his first round, Flavio commented: “I played very solid today. I had a strong start with a birdie on the 1st hole and the 4th hole and that allowed me to be confident in my game for the remainder of the round. Today I putted very very well, I made 28 putts today hitting 17 greens. I believe that being able to putt well on these greens it gives you a big advantage.” When asked about the course he went on to add: “The course is in very good conditions, the greens are very good and the ball rolls well.”

Tied for 3rd place alongside Flavio Michetti at 5 under-par and 2 shots back of the lead, there is Spain’s Jorge Maicas, Netherland’s Davey Porsius, Spain’s Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela, Italy’s Cristiano Terragni and Enrico Di Nitto and Swiss’s Luca Galliano.
