Final Round Player Quotes

Netherland’s Kiet Van der Weele only 22 years old, captured his 3rd win of the season at the 2023 Open de La Mirabelle d’Or in just 6 starts. In addition to winning his 3rd event of the season and the second back-to-back, he guaranteed himself a Challenge Tour category 12 card for the remainder of this season as well as the 2024 season. He previously won the 2023 Alps de Las Castillas and last week’s 2023 Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by Aon. After he finished his round, his first reactions were, “It feels like a dream, I always imagined it but do it is another thing. I’m extremely happy! It’s a great feeling to be in this position and to see all the hard work coming out. I’m honestly still speechless and I think I’ll be that way for a while.”  When asked how he approached the final round, Van der Weele added: “I knew the course was playing tricky today as the wind was picking up and the pins were tricky and tucked. I knew the other players weren’t going to go very low with the conditions so I knew if I stayed patient and focused on my strategy I couldn’t be to much out of it and I’m very glad it worked.” 

Theo Brizard from France, who was leading after round 2, had a final round of 1 over par for a three-day total of 5 under-par. He had a bad start with 4 bogeys in his first 5 holes, nevertheless he managed to turn it around on the back nine to be able to compete in the sudden-death playoff at 5 under-par. Brizard turned professional in 2021 and he represents Golf Bastide de la Salette. After his round, he commented that for “sure my bad start was due to some stress. I hit poor shots and after a really nice tee shot on 4 I made a very bad decision. I knew something good could have happened on the back nine so tried to stay positive. I made a good up and down on 10 and a close shot on 11 and a nice 6 iron into the 12th hole. After that it was a very good fight with Jack until the end. We both played well and holed good putts.”  He added that he is, “taking a lot of positives from this week. I’m getting closer and I managed to stay in it which I’m happy. I know I’ll have more opportunities and I’m already focused on next week, hungry for a trophy!”

France’s Nicolas Aparicio who was close to the top of the leaderboard all week, shot a 3 under-par round 67 today with 6 birdies and 3 bogeys for a three-day total of 5 under-par. He had a strong finish with back-to-back birdies on the last two holes. Aparicio turned pro in 2016 and represents Golf du Medoc.

England’s Jack Floydd, who captured his first professional win at the 2023 Ein Bay Open, was one of the 4 players that took part in the sudden-death playoff for the title. He shot a final round of Even Par for a three-day total of 5 under-par. He is 26 years old and currently represents Haywards Heath Golf Club. This is his third season on the Alps Tour. During today’s final round, Floydd made 1 eagle and 1 bogey on his front nine and 1 double bogey, 1 bogey and 2 birdies on the back nine. After his round, he commented: “I played very nicely this week, it required a lot of thinking. It was plotting your way around the course with some good strategy which I really enjoyed as it was very different compared to the usual Alps Tour courses.” When asked about his start, “I got off to a great start, I made a fantastic eagle on 4, I was playing solid with only a few bad shots but then on hole 10, I played it the same way I had done the last 2 days but hit a poor tee shot and lost my ball. I made a comfortable decision which was the same as my previous two rounds and just didn’t get a good swing and got penalized due to the very thick rough this week.”

France’s Augustin Hole, 25 years old who represents Biarritz Le Phare was tied for 17th after round 2, had a final round, 5 under-par 65 that included 4 birdies, 1 bogey and a hole-out eagle on the par 4 11th hole for a three-day total of 4 under-par and concluded the tournament tied for 5th place.  He continued his solid performance after finishing 4th at last week’s event in Italy. After the round, Hole happily commented: “today was a great round, starting early was a good advantage with no wind and good greens. My eagle on 11 was awesome, I holed out from 50 meters. I couldn’t see the green but heard the claps. It was a great feeling.” He came up just 1 stroke short from entering the play-off and was “slightly disappointed coming up a little short as I had chances on 16 and 17 but I’m overall very happy with how I played this week. There are a lot of positive to take to the next tournaments.”

He shot a final round of 2 under-par that included 5 birdies and 3 bogeys.

After his round he was very satisfied and happily commented: “Today was a tough fight! I played really solid tee to green, managed to get myself in a lot of birdie positions which was positive. I played really well the easy holes, was focused on the hard ones, and to start my round with 3 birdies helped a lot! I hit the 2 par 5s in 2 and holed a nice 4 meters putt on 11. It was a great start!”  When asked about his approach heading into the final round tomorrow in the lead, Brizard added: “I’ll go the same way, try to play well and enjoy the easy holes, being focused on the hard ones, and have a good attitude until the end!

England’s Jack Floydd, winner of the season opener 2023 Ein Bay Open, is only 1 stroke off the lead after the 2nd round of the 2023 Open International de La Mirabelle d’Or.

He made 7 birdies and 3 bogeys during round 2, for a 4 under-par,66. After his round, he commented on how “the course is very tricky compared to previous years. The fairways are rock hard and the rough is very penal so it’s super important to avoid it. I made 7 birdies today keeping the ball in play for the most part and gave myself some good chances on the greens which I managed to capitalize on.” Floydd went on to add that the strongly believes the “rough is very penal, it paramount to avoid it. Obviously, it’s not always possible, but certainly the strategy has changed from the previous years where there is a lot more irons of the tees this year to make sure you keep the ball in play. The downside on some holes is leaving yourself longer yardages into the greens but I believe that is definitely preferable compared to being in the long stuff.” Looking ahead to the final round tomorrow, where he could capture his 2nd title of the year, “it would mean a great deal to me to win my second event of the year, I’m delighted to have won the season opener but to get a second one would help me in the rankings and put me in a good position for the remainder of the season. It wouldn’t however change any of my plans, I plan to play all of the events this season and hopefully be able to graduate to the Challenge Tour.”

For tomorrow I will stick to my game plan of getting the ball in play off the tees and stay patient on the greens for putts to fall.” 

Netherland’s Kiet Van der Weele who has already captured two wins this season is in 4th place with a two-day total of 3 under-par. There is a 5-way tied for 5th place at 2 under-par that includes: France’s Nicolas Aparicio, Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney, Swiss Luca Galliano and French amateur Theo Boulet.

He has had a positive start to the season with numerous good finishes and captured a win at the 2023 Alps de Las Castillas. After his round, he was very happy about his comeback after “the bogey on the 15th hole I missed an up and down which was a shame but coming back strong with a birdie on 16 was good. I can say my game is really sharp at the moment and in a good place so it makes me enjoy playing event more.” Van der Weele finds himself very comfortable around GC La Pinetina “I really like the trees around this golf course and I’m able to see the shots I need to hit very clearly. It’s a really beautiful course and makes me at ease.” Looking ahead to the final round tomorrow with a 7 shots lead, he added: “it would be a lot to win another event so early in the season, it would be really nice and would allow me to have some comfort for the rest of the year. I have some Challenge Tour events I’ll be playing in as well so hopefully I’ll have enough room to play in them but I will for sure take it step by step and evaluating things as the season goes on.” 

France’s Augustin Hole, 25 years old who represents Biarritz Le Phare shot a 6 under-par 64 in today’s round for a two-day total of 7 under-par. He finds himself in 2nd place 7 shots off the lead.

After the round, Hole commented on how “I think the course was playing slightly easier today, it was softer and I think some of the pins were more accessible.” Tomorrow, he wants to “focus on myself, I have a lot of work to do to catch the leader. I need to focus on my own game and see what will happen. My putting has been very solid for the entire week, I barely missed any putts under three meters. Hopefully that will keep going tomorrow.”

Italy’s Elia Dallanegra (am), 19 years old, who was tied for 4th place after yesterday’s 1st round, finds himself tied for 3rdplace with a two-day total of 6 under-par.  He shot a 2 under-par 68 today with 4 birdies and 2 bogeys.

I’m very pleased overall.” When asked about the course conditions after the heavy overnight rain, he went on to add: I believe the conditions today as slightly easier than yesterday, there is barely any wind but the course is definitely softer and we aren’t getting as much roll but the greens were perfect so it was easier to hole putts today.”

Today instead I had a slow start and didn’t play as well as yesterday but managed to finish my round with an eagle on my 17th hole, the 8th of the course. My putting has been very solid as of lately and now I only need to be able to put the entire tournament together and hopefully something good will happen.”  When looking ahead to the final round tomorrow “I will focusing on having another good warm-up session, a good putting session and then go out and see what will happen.”

France’s Alexandre Daydou, 26 years old is tied in 3rd place at 6 under-par alongside Dallanegra (am) and Di Nitto. He shot a 2 under-par 68 today with 5 birdies and 3 bogeys.

Netherland’s Kiet Van der Weele, 22 years old leads by 2 strokes after his great 1st round at the 2023 Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by Aon. He shot a bogey-free, 7 under-par opening round. He currently sits in 3rd place in the Order of Merit Rank and captured his 1st professional win at the 2023 Alps de Las Castillas which took place at the end of April. Van der Weele was really happy with his performance at the conclusion of his 1st round: “My game was really good today, I started off well, I made a nice putt on 1 to kickstart the round, I teed off on 10. My putting and short game was really good and it needs to be like that to make a bogey-free round. My game is in a good place right now and I would like to take advantage.” He went on to add on how his home course in the Netherlands is very similar to GC La Pinetina“The course is really beautiful, especially the back nine. There are some holes that are very pretty with a lot of trees. This course is more strategic and you need to be very precise using a lot of irons of the tees. The rough is nice and high so your short game needs to be good if you want a good round. I really like it and I’m very comfortable on it as it’s very similar to my home course.” Van der Weele plans on “taking it a day at the time and playing one shot at a time and one hole at a time for the next two rounds. Tomorrow is a new day and I will go from scratch and see what happens. I obviously would like to win another event, that’s my nature but I will try to play my best and see what the outcome will be.”Eemil Alajarvi from Finland, 23 years old, concluded his 1st round with a 5 under-par 65 and is one of the two players tied for 2nd place only 2 strokes back. He made 1 eagle, 4 birdies and 1 bogey in his round. He turned professional in 2021 and this is his third season playing on the Alps Tour. After his round, Alajarvi commented on how well he played, “It was a solid day. I hit very well from the tee so it was easy to get good birdie chances. I enjoy playing here, I think the course fits me very well. The last tournament was very rainy in Austria, so I’m not worried about the forecast. Obviously, my goal for the season is to earn one of the cards that will allow me to gain access to the Challenge Tour next season.” 

Spain’s Manuel Morugan who represents Real Guadalhorce Club de Golf is the second player tied for 2nd place at 5 under-par. He made 3 birdies on the front nine and 2 birdies, 1 eagle and 2 bogeys on the back nine for a 65. Morugan has obtained numerous good results on the Alps Tour over the years and captured his first win on the tour last season at the 2022 Abruzzo Alps Open.

Final Round Player Quotes 

Kiet Van der Weele captures his first professional win at the 2023 Alps de Las Castillas by 3 strokes. He shot a final round of 7 under-par, 65 that included 7 birdies in a row on the front nine holes and 1 birdie and 1 bogey on the back nine for a three-day total at 22 under-par. He turned professional in September 2022. After his win, Van der Weele commented on how “today went really well. The 7 birdies on the front nine really helped me get the round going. I felt really good and the birdies I made weren’t big putts but put me in a good mood and allowed me to play more freely. I haven’t had the opportunity to play many events as a professional having turned pro just last year but capturing my first win so early now it feels really satisfying and I’m sure it’ll benefit me later on. I did it as a team with my coaches, my management so this is definitely a team effort.”
Jacobo Pastor from Spain concluded his tournament in 2nd place with a three-day score of 19 under-par. He shot a final round of 7 under-par, 65 with 8 birdies and 1 bogey. After the round, Pastor commented on his performance this week: “It’s sad to end another round with a bogey. I played well though overall. On the 12th hole I hit a great shot with my 3 wood to a few meters and it was the right moment to put pressure on my fellow competitors and try to reach -21/22 under. I made birdie on the 15th hole and then on the 16th hole I missed a short putt to reach 21 under-par. On 17th hole, I hit a really bad shot and on the 18th hole I made a few mistakes and deserved to make bogey. It was a nice tournament overall and I’m happy with my result. Ending the tournament in 2nd place is always nice especially considering I wasn’t very comfortable with my long game the first few days. I’m looking forward to the next events.”

The tournament ends with a two-way tie for 3rd place at 18 under-par with Spain’s Pedro Oriol and France’s Oihan Guillamoundeguy. Just 1 stroke back tied for 5th place Spain’s Quim Vidal, Gonzalo Vicente Elena and Borja Martin.
