It was another beautiful summer day in the Abruzzo Region. However, players competing in the final few groups had to face some strong winds on the final 5/6 holes, especially on the 18th hole which is normally a reachable par 5 instead with the wind against them many players chose to layup. Play began at 8:00 am local time and the leaders group teed off at 9.40 am local time from the 1st hole.

Final Round Player Quotes
France’s Oihan Guillamoundeguy earns his 1st professional win at the 2023 Abruzzo Alps Open. He shot a final round of 4 under-par, 66 with 2 bogeys and 6 birdies to conclude the tournament with a three-day total of 13 under-par. He is just 18 years old, turned professional at the end of 2022 and currently represents Golf Club SeignosseGuillamoundeguy already was an Alps Tour winner as he won last season while he was still competing as an amateur. After he sealed his 1st win, Guillamoundeguy was very emotional: “today was really good. It was a good fight. The pins were really tricky today but I did really well with my caddie. I made a small mistake on the 9th hole but was able to bounce back with a birdie on the 12th so it was really good. I’m so happy, it’s a nice feeling.”  He went to add that he found, Miglianico Golf & Country Club is a really good course, there are some easy holes and some tough holes. It’s a bit tricky but if you want to win here you have to hit the ball well.”  Guillamoundeguy was pleased about today as, “I moved up in the Order of Merit and that was my objective. You know the 1st year as a pro isn’t always easy as there is a lot of pressure but I’m really happy about how this week went. Now I will go back home and enjoy this win with my friends and family and then back to work to focus on the end of the season where I want to try and win another tournament.” 

Twenty-seven years old, Davey Porsius, from Netherland concludes the tournament in 2nd place, only 1 stroke from the title. He stayed near the top of the leaderboard for the entire week and was in the lead after yesterday’s 2nd round. He shot an even par, 70 today with 1 double bogey, 3 bogeys and 5 birdies for a three-day total of 12 under-par. Porsius is a previous winner on the Alps Tour as he won the 2022 Hauts de France-Pas de Calais Golf Open title last spring. After his round, he commented: “I played pretty solid for 16 holes, I was trying to shoot 2 or 3 under-par which then Oihan had to go 4 or 5 under-par. I definitely regret hitting driver Out of Bounds on the 17th hole. I had a 1 shot lead at the time and the only thing you can’t do on that hole I did so that is a major regret I have and then I unfortunately tried to make it up on the last hole and I missed a 1m30 putt for birdie on the 18th hole to force a playoff.” Porsius went on to add that “I knew I had to play well this week. Unfortunately, it’ll be a few weeks until the next tournament where I will actually be in the field to defend the title so hopefully I can give myself another opportunity to grab a win this season. I will keep focused in these weeks off on the golf and what I’ve been working on as I finished 3rd last week and 2nd this week so results are coming.”

The tournament ends with a 4-way tie for 3rd place with a three-day score of 10 under-par: Estonia’s Sander Aadusaar, Spain’s Victor Garcia Broto and French Duo: Augustin Hole and Franck Medale.  Tied for 7th place only 1 stroke back, 3 of this season’s previous winner: Spain’s Quim Vidal, Netherland’s Lars Keunen and Italy’s Manfredi Manica.

The low round of the day belongs to Estonia’s Sander Aadusaar who shot a 7 under-par, 63 in the final round.
