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.
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.
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.”

30th April 2026 | Alps Tour Golf
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.
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.”
