Switzerland’s Maximilien Sturdza sets the pace in La Gomera
La Gomera, July 2nd, 2026 – Under the Canary Islands sunshine, Maximilien Sturdza made the perfect start to this year’s Fred. Olsen Alps de La Gomera. Playing in the morning, the Swiss player carded an excellent 63 (-8) to take the opening-round lead.
The 26-year-old, who finished 11th last week at the UGolf Aravell Andorra Open, produced a flawless bogey-free round. He made his move with a superb stretch of five birdies in six holes between the 6th and the 11th, setting the pace after the opening day.
Despite an early bogey on the 5th, Spain’s Alfonso Buendia opened with a 65 (-6) thanks in part to an eagle on the 4th. He shares second place with fellow Spaniard Gonzalo Leal, whose eventful round included one eagle, eight birdies and four bogeys.
Round 2 will begin at 8:10 a.m. local time from the 1st tee at Tecina Golf. At the conclusion of the second round, a cut will be made to the top 40 professionals and ties (including all amateurs within the cut), who will advance to the final round.
Round 1 Player Quotes
Maximilien Sturdza: “I felt good when I woke up and just went through my normal warm-up. I got off to a good start and it was nice to finish with a bogey-free round. I was four under through nine, and then the putts just kept dropping. I only missed one or two greens all day, which shows my game is in a good place. Over the next two days, I’ll just try to do the same thing, stay consistent and remain mentally present.”
Alfonso Buendía: “I’m very happy to be back here, as I am every year. It’s a beautiful place and the course is in great condition. It was a really solid round and I’m pleased with my game. I only missed one drive all day, so overall I’m very satisfied. The goal now is to stick to the same strategy and hopefully stay near the top of the leaderboard.”

Agusti Quinquilla sets the pace at the 23rd Open International de la Mirabelle d’Or
France, June 5th, 2026 – While his front nine was relatively quiet in 33 (-1), Agusti Quinquilla made his move on the back nine during the opening round of the Open International de la Mirabelle d’Or. The Spaniard produced a stunning stretch with two birdies and an eagle between holes 10 and 12, before adding two more birdies coming home to sign an excellent 63 (-7) and take the first-round lead.
The 25-year-old has not managed to pull away from the field, however. Italy’s Enrico Di Nitto and Davide Buchi, Spain’s Gonzalo Leal, and Ireland’s Robert Moran are all just one shot behind.
France’s Baptiste Achard and Italy’s Flavio Michetti share sixth place at -5, two strokes off the lead.
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
Agusti Quinquilla : “It was one of those rounds where almost everything went right. From the first hole, I committed to an aggressive strategy and hit more drivers than players usually do on this course. I drove the ball extremely well and barely missed a fairway all day.
The key moment came at the start of the back nine. I made a really good birdie on 10, another on 11, and then on 12 I hit a great drive, a 7-iron to two metres and holed the putt for eagle. That stretch really got my round going. After that, I kept playing well, stayed in position, and added a few more birdies. The feeling is good heading into tomorrow and hopefully everything keeps working the same way.”
Davide Buchi: “I felt pretty good on the course today. I wasn’t overly aggressive and hit a lot of irons from the tee. Conditions changed a bit throughout the round, especially with the wind, but I think I adapted well. Overall, every part of my game was solid, but my irons and putting were probably the strongest areas today. Hopefully I can keep that going over the next two days.”

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.”

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.
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.”

25th April 2026 | Alps Tour Golf
France’s Paul Franquet takes control ahead of the final round
Egypt, April 25th, 2026 – Could we see a third consecutive French victory on the Alps Tour? After wins by Alexandre Vandermoten at the Villa Paradiso Alps Open and Maxime Legros at the Dreamland Open, Paul Franquet has put himself in a strong position to continue the streak.
The player from Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche backed up his opening 66 (-6) with another solid round of 67 (-5) to take the lead heading into the final day.
However, nothing is decided yet in Cairo. Italy’s Luca Memeo, France’s Aymeric Laussot, and Spain’s Gonzalo Leal are all just two shots behind, while France’s Tom Guéant remains in contention three strokes off the lead.
For tomorrow’s final round, play will begin at 7:45 a.m. from both the 1st and 10th tees. At the conclusion of the third round, the winner will receive €6,200 and 6,525 Order of Merit points. In the event of a tie, a playoff will determine the champion.
Round 2 Player Quote
Paul Franquet : “Paradoxically, I played much better than yesterday. I honestly had the chance to go lower, but I didn’t putt very well and made three pars on the par 5s while being close to the greens. I’m in a good position for the final round, so I’ll try to play the same way and hopefully make a few more putts. I’ll stay shot by shot, stick to my strategy, trust myself, and if I do that, I think it will work out.”

24th April 2026 | Alps Tour Golf
French trio shares the lead after Round 1 of the Allegria Open
Egypt, April 24th, 2026 – French players dominated the opening day at Allegria Golf Club, with three of them sharing the lead after the first round of the Allegria Open.
In the morning, Aymeric Laussot and Damien Perrier set the pace with excellent rounds of 66 (-6). Laussot carded seven birdies and one bogey, while Perrier produced a flawless round, highlighted by a remarkable hole-out eagle from 80 metres on the 2nd hole.
They were later joined at the top by Paul Franquet, who produced one of the standout moments of the day by recording back-to-back eagles on holes 14 and 15.
The leaderboard remains extremely tight, with Spain’s Gonzalo Leal and Josep Maria Serra Busquet, alongside Italy’s Luca Memeo and Federico Livio, just one shot behind the leaders.
For Round 2, play will begin at 8:00 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
Aymeric Laussot : “It’s quite funny because I was hitting the ball really poorly on the range this morning, so I told myself I just had to deal with it. In the end, it worked out well and I got off to a great start. I played well on the tougher holes and the par 3s, even though I didn’t take full advantage of the par 5s.
It’s a long course where positioning is key — if you’re on the wrong side, it’s almost impossible to recover. The fairways are quite wide off the tee, but iron play is very important here.”
Damien Perrier : “I had a really enjoyable day, with a great vibe in the group as the other players were also playing well. That definitely helped — there was a real positive energy between us. Even though I didn’t get much sleep with the time change and didn’t feel at my best physically, I managed to stay fully focused shot by shot, which is crucial on a course like this.
I also had a nice bonus early on with the hole-out, which obviously helps to get your round and your tournament off to a great start.”
