Manuel was very pleased with his golf game so far this week: “I played well both days. Today I just made a lot more putts because I played identical both days.

It was a perfect day with perfect conditions to shot a good round of golf.” Manuels win came from 3 shots back so he knows what it’s like being in this position, “I am just going to focus on hitting the best shots I can hit and play my best golf.

Aravell Golf & Country Club, only 13km from Andorra Principality, is an 18-hole course designed in 1987 by José María Olazábal, a two-time Augusta Masters Champion. The course will be played as a 6,155 meters, Par 71. It is located in a large valley, 700 meters above sea level, surrounded by the Pyrenees and with iconic views of the Cadi Mountain. Aravell Golf & Country Club is designed to be a compact and fun layout course with narrow fairways, relatively small greens and spacious rough making it a challenging course for the players especially due to the river and lake that cross the course.

The Aravell Golf Open by Crèdit Andorrà will be played thanks to the full support of Credit Andorrà.
