Joining them are nine players currently ranked inside the top 10 of the Alps Tour Order of Merit, setting the stage for a highly competitive and compelling tournament.
The winners of six events from the 2025 Red Sea Little Venice Open to the 2025 Lacanau Alps Open —all from Spain—are leading the group, marking a historic milestone, and their dominance sets the stage for an exciting second half of the season. These players include: Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela, the current Order of Merit leader and a two-time winner this season with victories at both the Red Sea Little Venice Open and the Tunisian Golf Open; Javier Barcos, ranked third in the standings and winner of the New Giza Open; Asier Aguirre Izcue, fifth in the ranking and winner of the Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by Aon; Jorge Maicas, currently ranked ninth and winner of the Gösser Open; and Javier Calles Roman, the most recent champion this season following his victory at the Lacanau Alps Open, currently sitting in eighth place.
Joining the strong Spanish contingent in the field are several top-ranked international players. France’s Quentin Debove, currently 4th in the Order of Merit, will be looking to climb further up the Order of Merit, as will Italy’s Jacopo Vecchi Fossa and Flavio Michetti, who occupy 6th and 7th places, respectively. Also competing is Switzerland’s Luca Galliano, winner of the season-opening event, the 2025 Ein Bay Open, and currently ranked 10th in the Order of Merit, adding further depth and competition to an already elite field.
The only season winner not competing this week is Spain’s Rocco Repetto, following his brilliant success yesterday at the Challenge de Cadiz on the HotelPlanner Tour. Rocco was a first-time winner on the Alps Tour in March at La Cigale Golf Open in Tunisia and will now continue the season on the higher-level tour.
Among the 144 players in the field, Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney will also be competing. He captured two titles during the 2023 season, which propelled him to win the Order of Merit and secure his promotion to the HotelPlanner Tour (formerly known as the Challenge Tour) for the 2024 season.

The Alps Tour returns to its historic roots in Austria for the 33rd Gösser Open
Maria Lankowitz, May 12th 2025- The 2025 Gösser Open marks the next stop on the Alps Tour schedule as the tour heads North to Austria. The tournament will take place at Golf Club Erzherzog Johann in Maria Lankowitz from Thursday, May 15th to Saturday, May 17th.
Ahead of the Gösser Open, the 2025 Austrian International Par 3 Championships will be held on May 13th at GC Graz-Andritz in Graz, owned by the Murhof Gruppe, the promoter of this week’s event. Some of the professionals competing in this week’s Par 3 Championship will also be vying for the prestigious Gösser Open title.
On Wednesday, May 14th the traditional Gösser Open Best Ball Net and Gross Pro-Am will take place with a shotgun start. There are 32 teams that will compete in this exciting pre-tournament event.
The Gösser Open is one of the most important tournaments of the Alps Tour season and holds the distinction of being the oldest tournament on the Alps Tour schedule. It is also widely regarded as the most traditional professional golf tournament in Austria.
The event first began in 1993 at Steiermärkischer Golf Club Murhof, before moving to Golf Club Erzherzog Johann in 2000, where it has remained as the permanent host venue. Following the founding of the Alps Tour in 2001, the Gösser Open became part of the Tour schedule and has been a key event ever since.
The Field
The 2025 Gösser Open will welcome a standout field of 144 competitors, featuring every winner from this season’s Alps Tour events contested so far: Luca Galliano (Ein Bay Open), Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela (Red Sea Little Venice Open and Tunisian Golf Open), Javier Barcos (New Giza Open), Rocco Repetto (La Cigale Golf Open by Alps Tour) and our most recent winner from last week’s event, the Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON, Asier Aguirre Izcue.
Also set to tee it up this week are all ten players currently ranked inside the current top 10 of the Alps Tour Order of Merit. Leading the standings is two-time winner Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela, with Rocco Repetto in second place and Javier Barcos in third. The current top three positions are all held by Spanish players.
Over the years, the Gösser Open has seen several notable champions, including England’s Matt Wallace, who lifted the trophy in 2016. Austrian players have also enjoyed repeated success, with past winners such as Lukas Nemecz, Gordon Manson, Timon Baltl, Maximilian Steinlechner, Niklas Regner and Markus Brier all leaving their mark on the tournament’s history. In the most recent edition, Steinlechner claimed victory with a par on the first playoff hole, adding another homegrown name to the tournament’s storied legacy.
This week, 144 players from 18 different nationalities will compete for the prestigious title. The tournament has a prize fund of €42,500 and 45,000 Order of Merit points, and the winner will earn €6,200 and 6,525 points.
The event will be contested over 54 holes of stroke play, with a cut made after 36 holes to the top 40 professionals and ties, plus amateurs within the cut. In the event of a tie at the conclusion of the final round, the tournament winner will be decided by a sudden-death play-off.

The Course
Golf Club Erzherzog Johann in Maria Lankowitz, located approximately 40 kilometers west of Graz, offers a par-72 course stretching 5,967 meters. Designed by architect DI Herwig Zisser and inaugurated in 1992, the course sits on the edge of a protected natural reserve in the scenic region of Western Styria. Uniquely, the club was developed as part of a revitalization project on land previously used as a coal mine, blending rich history with environmental renewal.
The course is known for its picturesque landscape—rolling hills, tranquil lakes, and forested surroundings—creating a visually stunning backdrop. However, its strategic layout also presents a significant challenge, demanding accuracy and precision from players throughout the round.
The tournament course record stands at 63, a score achieved by Lukas Lipold in the second round of the 2022 Gösser Open, Thomas Feyrsinger in the second round of the 2005 event, and Claude Grenier in the first round of the 2011 edition.

8th May 2025 | Alps Tour Golf
Spain’s Asier Aguirre Izcue moves into the lead after Round 2 in Italy.
Como, May 8th, 2025 – After two rounds of the 2025 Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON, Spain’s Asier Aguirre Izcue moves into the lead with a two-day total of 14 under-par. Hugh Foley from Ireland and Marco Florioli from Italy are in a 2-way tie for 2nd place at 11 under-par.
The second round of the 11th edition of the 2025 Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON, taking place at the prestigious Golf Club La Pinetina in Appiano Gentile, just outside Como. The day began with some sunshine, but conditions soon shifted to overcast skies accompanied by light winds that lingered throughout the rest of the round.
Since its inception in 2014, the event has been a mainstay on the Alps Tour calendar, it is named after and dedicated to the highly regarded golf instructor, Giorgio Bordoni who unexpectedly passed away in 2013 at the age of 48.
Round 2 Player Quotes
Asier Aguirre Izcue, 25, from Spain, leads the field at 14-under-par after two rounds at GC La Pinetina. He shot a sensational bogey-free second round of 9-under-par 61, with five birdies on the front nine (holes 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8) and four more on the back nine (holes 10, 12, 14, and 16). In the opening round, Aguirre carded a 5-under-par 65, despite a costly quadruple bogey on the par-5 3rd hole—otherwise, he could have matched his second-round 61 on both days. Aguirre, has been playing well, “I tried to keep playing my own game for the whole day and was very solid with my iron shots.” He is consistent performer on the Alps Tour, having collected multiple top 10 finishes in recent seasons, including a T2 at GC La Pinetina in 2023. Aguirre is still in pursuit of his first Alps Tour victory and came agonizingly close in 2024 at the Gösser Open losing in a sudden-death playoff. With momentum on his side, he now has a strong opportunity to finally break through. Aguirre has “only hit 2 drivers on the front nine and maybe another 3 on the back nine. This course, you need to place the ball and keep it in play, and I found to have done that well so far. I stuck to my strategy and so far, it’s paying off. Once you’re in the fairways you can be aggressive with your approach shots and give yourself opportunities and today, I took advantage of that.” Aguirre feels, “very comfortable and I’m going to try my best tomorrow. My sponsor is here with me this week, and he is caddying for me. I’m very comfortable with him and it’s made the week enjoyable.”
Hugh Foley, 27, from Ireland is only 3 strokes off the lead with a two-day score of 11 under-par. He followed his opening round of 3 under-par, 67 with a fabulous 8 under-par, 62 that included 5 birdies on the front nine holes of the course, his back nine and 1 eagle, 2 birdies and 1 bogey on the back. Foley, “putted really well today. To shoot 62, you must roll it great on the greens, and that was the key for me. I also hit it straight off the tee, which gave me plenty of chances. On this course, you’ve got to keep it out of the trees and it’s not a long layout, so if you’re accurate, you’re hitting short irons in and giving yourself a lot of birdie looks.” This is Foley’s sixth professional event, “and this is the first time I’ve been in the final pairing, so I’m really excited about that. I just want to enjoy the experience, stick to the same game plan, and hopefully hole as many putts as I did today.”
Alongside Foley in a 2-way tie for 2nd place with a total score of 11 under-par, Italy’s Marco Florioli, 20 years old. He shot a bogey-free 6 under-par, 64 with 3 birdies in each 9 holes.
Spain’s Javier Barcos, 23, currently ranked fourth in the Alps Tour Order of Merit and winner of the 2025 New Giza Open, moved into a 3-way tie for 4th place after round two of the Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON. Barcos began the tournament with a 4-under-par 66 to sit tied for 9th, but followed it up with a flawless, bogey-free 6-under-par 64 to climb the leaderboard. He started strong with back-to-back birdies on holes 1 and 2, and added four more on the back nine to post a two-day total of 10-under-par. Barcos felt “like when I played in the afternoon yesterday, the greens were much bumpier, due to the number of players and that’s normal, but, playing in the morning, the ball rolled much better and it allowed me to make more putts.” He made, “plenty of putts today especially during the first twelve holes. During the remaining 6 I still hit the ball well but not as many putts dropped.” With solid momentum, Barcos is firmly in contention heading into the final round, “I will keep hitting my irons the way I’ve been hitting, hopefully make some putts and be aggressive, that’s the game plan for tomorrow.”
In the 3-way tie for 4th place at 10 under-par alongside Barcos there is: France’s Victor Veyret and England’s Mason Essam.
Switzerland’s Luca Galliano, 39, made a significant move up the leaderboard after a stunning second round. After opening with an even-par 70 on day one, Galliano fired a flawless 9-under-par 61 in round 2 to reach a two-day total of 9-under-par, putting him just five shots off the lead in a 2-way tie for 7th place. “I made a solid putt on the Hole 2, which gave me a confidence boost and set a positive tone for the remainder of the round. I was able to capitalize on the opportunities that came my way, and it felt really good. What made the day even more meaningful was having my family there to support me—performing well in front of them was truly special. I’m looking forward to tomorrow and excited to carry this momentum forward.” His remarkable round included five consecutive birdies from holes 2 to 6, followed by four more on the back nine. Currently sixth in the Alps Tour Order of Merit, Galliano is aiming to climb the rankings further with a strong finish this week.
Alongside Galliano in the 2-way tie for 7th place there is Italy’s Flavio Michetti.
The highlight of the day belongs to Italian amateur Riccardo Cavina who made a fabulous Albatross on the Par 5, 8thhole.
Final Round
A total of 44 players (43 professionals and 1 amateur) made the cut which was set at 138 (-2).
The Final Round will begin at 8:00 a.m. local time from the 1st and 10th hole. The Final Pairing will tee off at 9:17 a.m. local time from the 1st hole.
The 2025 Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON Winner will walk away with €6,200 and earn 6,525 points toward the Order of Merit standings.

The Tradition Continues: The 11th Edition of the Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON Returns This Week
Como, May 5th, 2025 – After a successful Tunisian Swing and a brief break, the Alps Tour is ready to resume action this week with the 11th edition of the 2025 Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON, held in the picturesque northwestern region of Italy. The tournament will take place from May 7th to 9th, 2025, at the renowned Golf Club La Pinetina in Appiano Gentile, near Como.
Named in honor of the highly regarded golf instructor Giorgio Bordoni, this event celebrates his legacy following his unexpected passing in 2013 at the age of 48.

He also dedicated many years to the Italian Golf Federation, where he served as National Coach and achieved numerous accomplishments throughout his career.
Since its inception in 2014, the Memorial Giorgio Bordoni has been a mainstay on the Alps Tour calendar, except for 2020 when the event was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The tournament kicks off on May 6th with the traditional Alps Tour Best Ball Aggregate to Par Pro-Am, which will begin with a shotgun start at 12:00 p.m. local time.
The Field
Four of this season’s five tournament winners are set to headline this week’s field, promising a highly competitive showdown.

Since it was established in 2014, the Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON has become a standout event on the Alps Tour, consistently showcasing emerging talent from across Europe and beyond. The inaugural title was claimed by Spain’s Borja Virto, with fellow countrymen Sebastián García Rodríguez (2019) and Ángel Hidalgo Portillo (2021) continuing Spain’s strong tradition in the event. 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. In 2023, the Netherlands’ Kiet Van der Weele earned his second win of the season with a nine-stroke victory margin.
