Quentin Debove Triumphs in Shortened 2025 Hauts de France–Pas de Calais Golf Open
Saint-Omer, September 13th, 2025- France’s Quentin Debove secured his first Alps Tour title at the 2025 Hauts de France–Pas de Calais Golf Open, finishing with a two-day total of 3-under-par. Just one shot behind in solo second place Ireland’s Hugh Foley at 2-under-par. Four players shared third place at 1-under: France’s Augustin Holé, Lucas Fallotico, and Manfredi Manica from Italy, and Malte Von Blankenfeld from Germany.
Adverse weather heavily impacted the tournament schedule. Play was first suspended on Friday at 2:24 p.m. due to heavy rain and flooded greens. It resumed at 4:30 p.m. and continued until 8:08 p.m., when it was halted due to darkness. Round 2 was completed this morning with play resuming at 8:00 a.m. local time.
Round 3 officially began at 11:15 a.m. as a shotgun start but was suspended at 12:51 p.m. due to inclement weather. After thorough consideration, and taking into account the course conditions, continued weather issues, and limited daylight, the Tournament Committee made the decision to cancel Round 3 and reduce the event to 36 holes.
The €42,500 prize fund will be awarded in full, while Order of Merit points will be reduced by 90% in accordance with Alps Tour regulations.
As the 2025 Alps Tour season approaches its final events, the upcoming tournaments take on heightened significance in the race for Order of Merit points. With only a couple of tournaments left before the season culminates in the Grand Final, players are fiercely battling for a top-five finish in the standings that secures promotion to the 2026 HotelPlanner Tour. For some, it’s about maintaining momentum and defending their position, while for others, it’s a vital chance to climb the rankings and keep their dreams alive. The pressure is mounting, and every shot counts as the season reaches its decisive phase.
The 2025 Hauts de France – Pas de Calais Golf Open was a co-sanctioned event between the Ladies European Tour Access Series (LETAS) and the Alps Tour. The fields featured 132 players, evenly split between the two tours, each competing under identical conditions but for separate prize purses and titles.
Final Round Player Quotes
Quentin Debove, 23, from France, captured his first Alps Tour title at the 2025 Hauts de France – Pas de Calais Golf Open with a two-day total of 3-under-par. After opening with a 2-over-par 73 in the first round, he bounced back impressively with a 5-under-par 66 in Round 2. Debove has been a consistent presence near the top of the leaderboard all season, with multiple Top 10 finishes. He entered the week ranked 3rd on the Alps Tour Order of Merit, still seeking his breakthrough victory. With this victory, Debove earned €6,400 and 5,872.50 Order of Merit points, moving him into 2nd place in the Alps Tour Order of Merit standings ahead of the final regular season event in October. “I’m super happy, it’s been close many times, so I’m very grateful to finally get it done here in France,” said Debove. “The conditions weren’t easy with the wind and the rain. I wasn’t patient enough during the first round and made too many bogeys, but I stayed focused and managed the course much better yesterday.” Reflecting on the significance of the win, he added, “I know I can get it done in any conditions, which makes me happy. I’m confident in my game and in the work my team and I have done. The timing was perfect, I knew I needed some strong results, and this will help a lot for the last two tournaments.” Debove also acknowledged the challenges and growth throughout the season: “I’ve learned a lot this year. All the close calls helped prepare me for this moment, and I’m grateful we’ve had the chance to play in so many different conditions.” Debove credited his father for being a steady presence on the bag: “My dad caddied for me and helped me navigate through the tough conditions. He was also there in Biarritz when I shot 59. I wouldn’t have done it without him.”
At the conclusion of the 2025 Hauts de France–Pas de Calais Golf Open, Spain’s Javier Barcos remains at the top of the current Alps Tour Order of Merit standings. France’s Quentin Debove moves into second place following his victory, while Italy’s Jacopo Vecchi Fossa rounds out the top three. Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney climbs into fourth place, with Spain’s Javier Calles Roman rounding out the top five.
LETAS
In the LET Access Series event, Fernanda Lira from Mexico clinched her third win of the season in a playoff against Iceland’s Ragga Kristinsdottir after the final round of the 2025 Hauts de France Pas de Calais Golf Open was cancelled. It took three holes for the pair to be separated, with Lira winning on the third hole after putting for par. Speaking about what it means to get her third win, Lira said: “It feels good. I am happy. I just wanted to win without Ryan on the bag to show I can do it alone. I really wanted to play in windy and rainy weather. Having a win in this weather is special even though today was incredibly tough.”
Lira now moves to second on the Order of Merit with one point between her and the current leader, England’s Gemma Clews. The Mexican’s LET card is now secure. “It feels amazing to have it secure, I can’t wait for next year and to be back.”
Format & Prize Fund
Quentin Debove, winner of the 2025 Hauts de France–Pas de Calais Golf Open, earned a winner’s check of €6,400.00 along with 5,872.50 Order of Merit points.
The Alps Tour will now take a brief break before returning to action at the 2025 Parma Alps Open, scheduled for October 9th to 11th at Golf del Ducato Percorso La Rocca Parma. This event will be the final regular-season tournament before the 2025 Alps Tour Grand Final, where players will be competing for crucial points and positioning ahead of the season’s decisive showdown.

Round 2 Suspended in France with France’s Quentin Debove Holding Clubhouse Lead
Saint-Omer, September 12th, 2025- The 2025 Hauts de France – Pas de Calais Golf Open continued today with the second round teeing off at 8:15 a.m. local time at AA Saint-Omer Golf Club, where players set out from both the 1st and 10th tees amid changing weather conditions.
At 1:01 p.m. local time, the Tournament Director suspended play due to heavy rainfall and flooded greens. Fortunately, conditions improved quickly, and play resumed after a 25-minute delay. Afternoon tee times were pushed back by 30 minutes. However, at 2:24 p.m., play was once again suspended as persistent rain led to further flooding on the course. Luckily, at 4:30 p.m., play was able to resume and continued until 8:08 p.m. when it was suspended for darkness. Round 2 will resume tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. local time.
With several groups still on the course yet to complete their second round, France’s Quentin Debove holds the current clubhouse lead with a two-day total of 3-under-par.
With the 2025 Alps Tour season entering its final stretch, this week’s tournament represents far more than another stop on the calendar; it’s a pivotal moment in the chase for Order of Merit points. With only a couple of events remaining before the season-ending Grand Final, the battle for a top-five finish in the Order of Merit at the end of the season and promotion to the 2026 HotelPlanner Tour is intensifying. For some players, it’s about sustaining momentum and solidifying their position; for others, it’s a crucial opportunity to climb the rankings and keep their aspirations alive. The stakes are rising, and every round played could prove decisive.
Reinforcing their ongoing partnership, this year’s tournament is once again co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour Access Series (LETAS) and the Alps Tour. The field comprises 132 players, equally divided between the two tours with 66 participants each. Although all competitors will play under the same conditions on the same course, they will vie for separate prize purses and individual titles.
Round 2 Player Quotes
France’s Quentin Debove, 23, surged into the clubhouse lead at the 2025 Hauts de France – Pas de Calais Golf Open after carding a 5-under-par 66 in today’s second round. Debove, who opened the tournament with a 2 over-par, 73 and was tied for 26th place, now holds a two-day total of 3-under-par. Still in search of his first Alps Tour title, Debove has been a consistent contender this season, recording multiple Top 10 finishes and currently sitting 3rd on the Alps Tour Order of Merit. “I hit 18 greens in regulation today and found a lot of fairways,” said Debove. “I was hitting really good shots out there, even in the rain and wind; it felt pretty easy to manage the conditions. The biggest difference was my course management and my attitude. It’s tough for everyone out there, but I stayed patient and let the birdies come to me.” He began his round on the 10th hole, making early birdies on 10 and 12 before adding four more on the front nine, offset by a single bogey. Looking ahead to the final round, he remains focused and grounded. “Tomorrow, the key is going to be course management. My dad is caddying for me this week, which is a huge help in these conditions. I’m not planning to change anything—I’ve been working hard for this and I’m ready. I’m just taking it day by day, trying to shoot the lowest round possible. If I trust my process, I should be good to go. Obviously, I’m chasing that first win!”
While France’s Quentin Debove currently holds the clubhouse lead at 3-under-par, Ireland’s Hugh Foley remains a strong contender, also at 3-under-par with seven holes left to play in his second round. Italy’s Manfredi Manica is likewise in the mix at 2-under-par, with seven holes still to complete.
France’s Augustin Holé, 28, winner of the 2023 Alps Tour Grand Final, currently sits in a tie for 4th place after his round two, where he carded an even par round, 71, bringing his two-day total to 1-under-par. Starting on the 10th hole, Holé’s round was eventful, with early bogeys on holes 10 and 14 followed by a birdie at the 16th. The front nine brought further ups and downs, including a double bogey on the 6th, a birdie at the 7th hole, and a strong finish with an eagle on the par-5 9th, his final hole of the day. “My game still isn’t quite at its best. I missed quite a lot today, but my short game really saved me,” Holé said. “I stayed patient and committed to my game plan. I guess I hit the right shots at the right time to finish 3-under on the last three holes, which gave me some momentum.” Looking ahead to the final round, Holé remains focused on execution over outcome. “The goal is simple: beat the course tomorrow and try to play a bit better. If some putts drop, I think I can put together a solid final round. I just need to be patient and be committed; those are the two keys.” While the Alps Tour Order of Merit lingers in the background, Holé is keeping perspective. “It’s in the back of my mind, of course, but honestly, I’m quite far from the top five right now. I can’t control that. What I can control is my process, and that’s where my focus is.”
Alongside Holé, Italy’s Lucas Fallotico, 22, completed his second round with a 2-over-par 73, bringing his two-day total to 1-under-par. Fellow Italian Alessandro Nodari is also currently tied at 1-under-par, though he has yet to finish his second round.
LETAS
In the LET Access Series event, Iceland’s Ragga Kristinsdottir delivered a flawless second round at the 2025 Hauts de France – Pas de Calais, carding a 5-under-par 67 to make a significant move up the leaderboard. The 28-year-old, currently ranked sixth on the Order of Merit, produced five birdies without a single dropped shot, including back-to-back birdies on holes 11 and 12.“I’m beyond happy with that round,” said Kristinsdottir. “We got lucky with the weather for the first 10 holes, and we knew tougher conditions were coming, so the plan was to get off to a hot start. I was five under through 12 and just tried to hold it together from there. I’ve been struggling mentally with my putting—it really had ‘left the building’ since Sweden—but it feels like it’s finally back.”
Also sharing the lead is Mexico’s Fernanda Lira, currently fourth in the Order of Merit and already a two-time winner this season. Lira continued her strong form, navigating the blustery conditions with precision and resilience. “I did miss out on two good eagle opportunities, and that stung a bit,” Lira admitted. “But I had a couple of great recovery shots and gave myself a lot of chances. I never really get to play in wind, rain, and cold—back home in Mexico, if it rains, it usually thunders and play stops. So, this year has really taught me that I can compete in these tougher conditions.” Lira added that she’s aiming for a strong result this week, especially as she plans to skip next week’s event in preparation for La Sella. “I want a good result here because I won’t be playing next week. I’ll be back for the final event—I want to close the season the right way.”
Format & Prize Fund
The 2025 Hauts de France- Pas de Calais Golf Open is a 54-hole stroke-play event where a cut will be made after 36 holes to the top 30 professional players and ties. In the event of a tie after 54 holes, a sudden-death playoff will determine the winner.
The players are competing for a total prize fund of €42,500 and 45,000 Order of Merit points. The champion of the 2025 Hauts de France- Pas de Calais Golf Open will take home €6,400.00 and 6,525 Order of Merit points.

11th September 2025 | Alps Tour Golf
Lucas Fallotico Leads After Round 1 of the 2025 Hauts de France–Pas de Calais Golf Open.
Saint-Omer, September 11th, 2025- After the opening round of the 2025 Hauts de France–Pas de Calais Golf Open, the leaderboard is tightly packed. Italy’s Lucas Fallotico leads the way with a 3 under-par. In a 5-way tie for 2nd place at 1 under-par: Italy’s Matteo Cristoni and Davide Buchi, France’s Thomas Colombel and Augustin Holé, and Maximilien Sturdza from Switzerland.
The first round of the 2025 Hauts de France – Pas de Calais Golf Open teed off this morning at 8:15 a.m. local time at AA Saint-Omer Golf Club, with players starting from both the 1st and 10th tees amid mixed weather conditions. At 12:26 p.m., play was suspended by the Tournament Director due to heavy rain and flooded greens. Fortunately, conditions improved quickly, allowing play to resume after a brief suspension. Afternoon groups faced only a 45-minute delay, and the round was able to conclude just before nightfall.
Marking its continued collaboration, this year’s tournament is once again co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour Access Series (LETAS) and the Alps Tour. The 132-player field features equal representation from both tours, with 66 competitors apiece. While all players will compete on the same course under identical conditions, they will contend for separate prize funds and individual titles.
Round 1 Player Quotes
Italy’s Lucas Fallotico, 22, holds the lead after the opening round of the 2025 Hauts de France – Pas de Calais Golf Open, carding a 3 under-par, 68. Still in search of his first Alps Tour title, Fallotico’s best finish this season is a third place at the 2025 Lacanau Alps Open. He started strong with four birdies on his opening nine holes, on the 5th, 7th, 8th, and 9th—before adding another on the 10th hole. Despite dropping shots on holes 11, 13, and 16, he bounced back with a birdie on the 17th hole to close out a solid round. “Today was a tough day, both golf-wise and physically, but I’m happy with how I played and how I managed the round,” said Fallotico. “The standings are very tight, and the conditions will make victory very hard-fought for all contenders.” Reflecting on the challenging weather, he added, “I have to say I was lucky to have played in the afternoon, as the weather conditions were better, but managing the strong wind was still difficult. However, I’m pleased with how I approached the round mentally and how I handled myself today.” Looking ahead, Fallotico emphasized the importance of a steady approach: “The key points for the next rounds will certainly be consistency from the tee and patience in managing the rain and wind. Today was definitely a positive day—I really liked the way I played. I could have complained about a few too many errors on the back nine, but given the conditions, that’s perfectly fine.”
In a 5-way tie for 2nd place with a first-round score of 1 under-par 70: Italy’s Matteo Cristoni and Davide Buchi, France’s Thomas Colombel and Augustin Holé, and Maximilien Sturdza from Switzerland.
Italy’s Matteo Cristoni, 23, who turned professional earlier this year, delivered a steady and composed performance in his opening round at the 2025 Hauts de France – Pas de Calais Golf Open. Cristoni carded an eagle on the 9th hole, and he added a birdie on the 14th hole. Despite the challenging conditions, he kept his round under control, dropping only two shots with bogeys on holes 12 and 16. It was a solid start for the young Italian as he continues to find his rhythm in his debut professional season.
Thomas Colombel, 23, from France opened his tournament with a solid performance, posting four birdies and three bogeys in today’s round. “It went well, it was a shaky start, but I managed to stay in the round by making some good putts,” he said. “Toward the end, I played better and was able to make some birdies.” Colombel remained grounded about his approach: “Right now, I’m just happy and staying in the present moment.” Despite the difficult conditions, he embraced the challenge: “I’m from Normandy, so I’m kind of used to this weather. I didn’t even have rain gear, I just went out there and enjoyed the rain, I guess.” Looking ahead, Colombel added, “I’ll just keep myself in a system that I trust,” while also acknowledging with a smile, “I need to improve my chipping.”
Italy’s Davide Buchi, 28, navigated the challenging opening round with composure, carding an eagle on the 7th hole, two birdies (on holes 9 and 12), and three bogeys (on holes 4, 5, and 13). Reflecting on his performance, Buchi said, “It went very well. The conditions were tough, but I kept hitting solid shots and stayed patient.” His mindset remains steady as the week unfolds: “I’ll keep working and waiting for my time to come,” he noted. With unpredictable weather continuing to affect play, Buchi adopted a pragmatic approach: “It was very tough. I just aimed to make as many pars as possible and took my chances when it was time to make a birdie.” Looking ahead, he added, “If the conditions stay the same, I’ll follow a more conservative strategy. I’m just focused on my attitude.”
Maximilien Sturdza, 25, from Switzerland, delivered one of the most memorable moments of the opening round with a spectacular hole-in-one on the par-3 2nd hole, with a 4-iron from 207 meters. His round also included three birdies (holes 7, 11, and 15) and four bogeys (holes 3, 6, 12, and 16), all played under challenging weather conditions. “The round was very tough with today’s rain and wind,” he said. “It was nice to be able to start off well with a hole-in-one on 2 — it kept me going for the rest of the round.” Reflecting on his approach, Sturdza added, “I’m not going to change too much of what I did today. I’ll stay patient and give myself as many opportunities as I can.” Despite the difficult conditions, he remained optimistic: “I just saw it as a chance and didn’t take it as a bad thing. The feeling of making a hole-in-one is very satisfying — it gave me confidence in my choices and showed me I was hitting some great shots.” Looking ahead, Sturdza remains focused: “Since the conditions don’t look like they’re going to improve, I’m going to stay patient and keep a positive mindset.”
Augustin Holé, 28, of France and winner of the 2023 Alps Tour Grand Final, opened his tournament with an opening round that included three birdies on holes 5, 9, and 18 and two bogeys on holes 2 and 10. Reflecting on his performance, Holé admitted, “I swear I didn’t look at the leaderboard at all, so I’m very surprised by where I currently stand, but I guess I’m doing quite well.” With a clear focus on consistency and discipline, he added, “Stay patient and stay in the process, that’s my main focus. I have a new caddie, Jeff, this week, and we’re doing everything we can to stay fully committed on every shot, from the 1st tee to the 18th green.” Holé noted the value of having a caddie in difficult weather: “It’s so much easier to handle the conditions with a caddie. The weather wasn’t as bad as I expected, and I consider myself lucky; maybe I was in the better part of the draw.” Confident in his recent form, he concluded, “I think my game has been consistent since the start of the season. Right now, I’m just making better decisions, working more on my short game, and trusting the process to finish the season on a strong note.”
LETAS
In the LET Access Series event, Sweden’s Moa Fridell surged out of the gates with an impressive opening round of 66 (-6), securing a two-stroke lead heading into tomorrow’s second round. A round of eight birdies and only two bogeys put Fridell comfortably at the top of the leaderboard, and today marks her lowest round ever as a professional. Speaking about her first round, Fridell said: “It was tough out there. I made some pretty good putts out there today. I hit the greens, rolled it in and it was fun out there. Fridell has played 15 events this season and has a highest finish of tied 18th at the Allegria Ladies Open, back in May.

8th September 2025 | Alps Tour Golf
Back-to-Back Weeks on French Soil: 2025 Hauts de France–Pas de Calais Golf Open Begins Thursday.
Saint-Omer, September 8th, 2025- The Alps Tour stays in France this week, but shifts to the northern region of Hauts-de-France–Pas-de-Calais for the 16th event of the regular season, the 2025 Hauts de France–Pas de Calais Golf Open, a co-sanctioned tournament.
The event will be held from September 11th– 13th at Aa Saint-Omer Golf Club, located near the town of Saint-Omer, France.
As with the past three editions, the tournament is co-sanctioned between the Ladies European Tour Access Series(LETAS) and the Alps Tour. The field will be equally divided, featuring 66 players from each tour. While competing on the same course and under the same conditions, players will contend for two separate prize funds and titles, one for each tour.
This marks the fourth consecutive year the event is included on the Alps Tour schedule. In previous editions, it has held various designations, having been part of the MasterCard Tour, the European Challenge Tour, and the DP World Tour.
The Field
This week’s 2025 Hauts de France–Pas de Calais Golf Open, co-sanctioned with LETAS, will feature a highly competitive field of players.
This week’s tournament brings together the top 10 players on the Alps Tour Order of Merit, along with most of this season’s winners, promising a highly competitive event. However, Spain’s Rocco Repetto Taylor, winner of the La Cigale Golf Open, will be absent after earning promotion following his victory at the Challenge de Cádiz on the HotelPlanner Tour. Also missing are Antonio Hortal, winner of the Alps de Las Castillas, and France’s Victor Dubuisson, who claimed the 2025 Biarritz Cup by C&S Partners in a rare Alps Tour appearance.
Spain’s Javier Barcos, the current leader, headlines the field, closely followed by Italy’s Jacopo Vecchi Fossa in second place. France’s Quentin Debove and Spain’s Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela, ranked third and fourth respectively, will also be in action. Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney rounds out the top five, with Spain’s Javier Calles Roman sitting just behind in sixth. Jerry Ji from the Netherlands currently holds seventh position, trailed by Spain’s Asier Aguirre Izcue in eighth. Completing the top ten are Jorge Maicas from Spain and Italy’s Andrea Romano, ranked ninth and tenth, respectively.
This week presents a major opportunity for Andrea Romano, Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela, and Javier Barcos. With two wins each on the season, a third triumph would not only highlight their dominance but also secure instant promotion to the HotelPlanner Tour and full playing privileges for the remainder of the year.
This week’s event carries significant weight in the broader context of the 2025 Alps Tour season. As the schedule nears its conclusion, players are not only competing for the tournament title but also for critical Order of Merit points. The stakes are high, as only the top five players at the end of the season will earn promotion to the 2026 HotelPlanner Tour, a coveted step forward in the professional ranks.
With just a handful of events remaining before the Alps Tour Grand Final, the pressure continues to build. For those near the top, it’s a chance to consolidate their position. For others, it’s one of the last opportunities to mount a late-season push. Either way, the outcome of this week’s tournament could play a decisive role in shaping the final standings.
Pro-Ams
Two pro-am events are scheduled during tournament week.
The first will take place on Tuesday, 9th September, featuring 12 teams, each composed of two professionals (one Alps Tour player and one LETAS player), competing in a Tour Scramble format. Tee times will run from 1:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. local time.
The following day, Wednesday 10th September, the traditional Tour Scramble shotgun pro-am will be held, with 24 teams participating. This event will include 12 Alps Tour players and 12 LETAS players and will begin at 1:30 p.m. local time.
Format & Prize Fund
The 2025 Hauts de France- Pas de Calais Golf Open will be a 54-hole stroke-play event where a cut will be made after 36 holes to the top 30 professional players and ties. In the event of a tie after 54 holes, a sudden-death playoff will determine the winner.
Players will compete for a total prize fund of €42,500 and 45,000 Order of Merit points. The champion of the 2025 Hauts de France- Pas de Calais Golf Open will take home €6,400.00 and 6,525 Order of Merit points.
The Course
Located in the heart of the scenic Aa Valley in Saint-Omer, France, the AA Saint-Omer Golf Club is a renowned 27-hole golf facility featuring an 18-hole championship course measuring 6,182 meters (par 71), along with a 9-hole course ideal for beginners or players looking to improve their short game. Designed by Dutch golfer Joan Dudok van Heel, the only course in France attributed to him, the layout blends harmoniously with the natural surroundings, offering spectacular views and a challenging, undulating terrain bordered by mature trees.
Since opening in 1990, the club has built a strong reputation and is consistently ranked among the top 30 courses in Northern France. The championship course has hosted an annual professional tournament since 1997, earning a long-standing place on the international golf calendar. It became part of the European Challenge Tour in 2000 and was elevated to official DP World Tour status from 2003 until 2013. Due to scheduling conflicts with the U.S. Open, the event returned to the Challenge Tour in 2014. In 2022, the tournament entered a new chapter as a co-sanctioned event between the Alps Tour and the LET Access Series (LETAS), reaffirming the club’s ongoing commitment to the development of professional golf in Europe.

Golf Nazionale to Host the 2025 Alps Tour Grand Final.
Sutri, September 7th 2025– We are proud to announce that the 10th edition of the Alps Tour Grand Final will be held from October 16th – 18th 2025 at Golf Nazionale in Sutri, located just north of Rome, Italy.
For the first time in its history, the prestigious season-ending tournament will be hosted at this venue, marking a significant milestone in its legacy.
“Golf Nazionale, the official course of the Italian Golf Federation, has hosted several important professional tour events in recent years, and the opportunity to include the Alps Tour Grand Final is certainly an additional source of great pride. As President of Golf Nazionale, I am confident that the course and all the facilities we will provide to the finalist players will be fully prepared to ensure a high-quality standard for this prestigious event. It will be a pleasure to welcome all participants and to collaborate with the Alps Tour to guarantee the best possible outcome for the tournament,” said Alessandro Rogato, President of Golf Nazionale.
“I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the President of the Italian Golf Federation, Mr. Cristiano Cerchiai, and the entire Federation, as well as the President of Golf Nazionale, Mr. Alessandro Rogato, for their gracious hospitality in hosting our 2025 Grand Final at this remarkable venue. The longstanding support of the Italian Golf Federation for the Alps Tour has been invaluable in advancing professional golf, and we are truly grateful for their ongoing dedication. It is a true honor to compete on such a distinguished course, and we look forward to seeing how our players will embrace the challenge. We are proud to be part of this historic event and anticipate a week marked by great competition and sportsmanship.” said Estelle Richard, Alps Tour Chief Executive & Operations Director.
“I’m very pleased that the 2025 Alps Tour Grand Final will be played at the beautiful Golf Nazionale in Italy,” said Alessandro Pia, Deputy Director of Tour Operations and Tournament Director. “It is widely regarded as one of the most technical courses in the country. It has been selected by the Italian Golf Federation as the venue for the professional qualification exams, and by the HotelPlanner Tour for both Q-School Stage 1 and regular-season tournaments. In 2025, the HotelPlanner Tour will once again return to this exceptional venue just two weeks before the Grand Final. With typically ideal weather in Rome in mid-October, I’m confident that course conditions will be outstanding. The top 50 Alps Tour players who qualify for the final tournament of the season will need to bring their very best to take on the challenge of this iconic venue, the perfect stage to conclude a great season — and I’m sure all the players will love it.”
Competitors will play 54 holes with no cut, vying for a total prize fund of €55,000 and 60,000 Order of Merit points. The winner will receive €10,000 along with 9,500 Order of Merit points. In case of a tie after 54 holes, there will be a sudden-death play-off to determine the tournament winner.
At the conclusion of the tournament, the top five players in the Order of Merit standings will earn a Playing Category on the HotelPlanner Tour for the 2026 season.
The tournament is open to the top 50 professional players in the 2025 Alps Tour Order of Merit following the Parma Alps Open, as well as ranked amateur members within the “Top 50.” Eligible players must have participated in at least 5 events in 2 different countries in addition to Italy (the venue of the Grand Final will count as the third country if Italy is not in the previous 2 already played) during the season. There is no reserve list for this event; therefore, if a player in the Top 50 withdraws, their place will not be filled by the next player down the Order of Merit.
The Course
Recognized as one of Italy’s premier championship venues, Golf Nazionale is set to host the final tournament of the 2025 season. Nestled in the picturesque region of Upper Lazio, the par-72 layout spans 6,482 meters, delivering a fitting finale to an exciting year of competition.
Renowned as one of the most challenging and technically demanding courses in Italy, and among the toughest in Europe, it offers a true test for players of all levels. Designed by the acclaimed team of George and Jim Fazio, along with David Mezzacane, the course is set amidst ancient oak forests and blends seamlessly into the natural landscape.
Over the years, it has hosted numerous prestigious tournaments beyond those previously mentioned, including the 1991 World Cup, an edition of the Ladies Italian Open (LET), the 2023 Junior Ryder Cup, and the DP World Tour Q-School Stage 1.
Renowned for its strategic layout and immaculate conditioning, it promises an exciting and competitive setting for the season-ending event of the 2025 schedule.

Javier Barcos The Captures Second Victory of the Season at the 2025 Longwy Alps Open
Longwy, September 6th, 2025 – Spain’s Javier Barcos secured victory at the 2025 Longwy Alps Open, capturing his second title of the season with a winning score of 14-under-par. He edged fellow Spaniard Manuel Morugan by one stroke, who finished in solo second at 13 under-par. Jerry Ji from the Netherlands claimed third place outright at 12 under-par, while Italy’s Manfredi Manica, Mattia Comotti, and Ludovico Addabbo shared fourth place in a three-way tie at 11-under.
As the 2025 Alps Tour season nears its conclusion, this week’s tournament marked a pivotal moment in the chase for Order of Merit points. With only a couple of events left before the season-ending Grand Final, the race to secure a top-five finish in the Order of Merit, and with it, promotion to the 2026 HotelPlanner Tour, is intensifying. For some players, it’s a chance to solidify their standing and build on recent momentum, while for others, it’s a make-or-break opportunity to climb the rankings and keep their aspirations alive.
Final Round Player Quotes
Spain’s Javier Barcos, 23, continued his impressive 2025 season by claiming his second Alps Tour title at this week’s Longwy Alps Open. Already the winner of the 2025 New Giza Open and current leader of the Alps Tour Order of Merit, Barcos took control of the tournament after the second round and sealed the victory with a final-round 3-under-par 69, finishing at 14-under for the event. Despite a shaky start with two bogeys in his first four holes, he quickly regained momentum with an eagle, five birdies, and two additional bogeys. Crucial, back-to-back birdies on holes 17 and 18 secured the win. Reflecting on his performance, Barcos shared, “It’s a great feeling. It was a battle all day long since I didn’t have my A game, but I’m glad the best two shots of the day came on the last two holes.” He emphasized the importance of consistency off the tee, saying, “The key was hitting really well from the tee all week — it’s a tight golf course where you must keep it in play, and I did that consistently.” Looking ahead, Barcos admitted, “I’m going to be way more relaxed now, which isn’t normal in a golf tournament, so I’m just going to try to have as much fun as possible, which has been hard for me this past month.” While acknowledging the significance of the win, he remained grounded: “This win is great and really important, but I’m going to keep playing as well as I can and see where that leads me. If I end up getting the promotion, it will be so gratifying since that’s what I’ve been working for all year and my top goal.” He concluded by dedicating his victory to his family: “I want to dedicate this to my parents, who have supported me through a difficult August when I played very poorly and felt unmotivated, so I’m very grateful to them.”
Finishing the tournament in solo second place with a three-day total of 13-under-par was 34-year-old Spaniard Manuel Morugan, the winner of the 2022 Abruzzo Alps Open.
Following the 2025 Longwy Alps Open, Spain’s Javier Barcos remains atop the Alps Tour Order of Merit with 29,042.34 points. Italy’s Jacopo Vecchi Fossa holds steady in second place with 22,403.63 points, while France’s Quentin Debove climbs into third with a total of 20,488.15 points.
Format & Prize Fund
Javier Barcos, the 2025 Longwy Alps Open winner, walked away with the winning check of €6,900.00 and 6,525 Order of Merit points.
The Alps Tour remains in France as next week, from September 11-13 at AA Saint-Omer Golf Club in Saint-Omer, France, the 2025 Hauts de France-Pas de Calais Golf Open will take place.

Round 1 Suspended at Longwy Alps Open with Italy’s Mattia Comotti Leading
Longwy, September 4th, 2025 – Round 1 of the 2025 Longwy Alps Open was suspended at 7:12 p.m. local time due to flooded greens, and play was officially called for the day at 7:45 p.m. by Tournament Director Mr. Alessandro Pia, due to continued course flooding and fading daylight. With several groups still on the course, Italy’s Mattia Comotti holds the current clubhouse lead after posting an 8-under-par round. Play is scheduled to resume at 8:00 a.m. Friday morning, as the second round gets underway shortly after.
As the 2025 Alps Tour season heads into its final stretch, this week’s tournament takes on added significance, with players competing not only for the event title but also for crucial Order of Merit points that could dramatically impact the season standings.
With only a few events remaining before the Alps Tour Grand Final, the battle for a coveted top-five position in the standings and the career-changing promotion to the 2026 HotelPlanner Tour is more intense than ever. For many, this is a chance to solidify their standing; for others, it’s a final push to break through. Every shot matters as the stakes continue to rise in this pivotal moment of the season.
Now in its second consecutive year on the Alps Tour calendar, the tournament returned this week following a successful inaugural edition in 2024, where France’s Damien Perrier claimed the title with a three-day total of 14-under-par. With Round 1 now complete, the 2025 edition is already shaping up to deliver another exciting chapter in the event’s young history.
Round 1 Player Quotes
Mattia Comotti, 25, from Italy, winner of the 2024 Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON, is the clubhouse leader with an 8 under-par, 64 as round 1 was suspended due to flooded greens and darkness. He turned professional at the end of July 2023, so this is his second full playing season on the Alps Tour as a professional player. He carded two birdies on the front nine (holes 6 and 8) before going on a remarkable run on the back nine, where he made four consecutive birdies from holes 12 to 15 and capped it off with an eagle on the 16th hole. “Obviously, today the round was really good, I played really solid from the tee and took advantage of the opportunities on the greens,” said Comotti. “I played the DP World Tour Q-School in Belgium last week, so it didn’t really feel like a summer break. That helped me keep the game sharp and ready to compete again.” Reflecting on his performance, he added, “The mindset for the next two rounds will be the same as today’s. It’s a long tournament and we’re just getting started. Unlike the beginning of the season, I didn’t make any stupid mistakes today and I putted very well. I had a great stretch of holes from 12 to 16, four birdies and an eagle. On hole 14, I holed a 12-meter putt, and that gave me a lot of energy and momentum going forward.” Looking ahead, Comotti emphasized the importance of strategy at UGolf Longwy International: “This week, the key to success will probably be patience and accuracy off the tee. You really need to place the ball well.”
While Comotti currently holds the clubhouse lead, Spain’s Borja Martin remains a strong contender at 7-under-par with three holes left to play in his first round.
France’s Paul Franquet, 20, currently sits in a tie for third place after carding a 6-under-par 66 in his first round as a professional. Having only turned pro two days ago, he showed no signs of nerves as he firmly placed himself in contention. His round featured an eagle on the 6th hole, five birdies on holes 3, 9, 10, 13, and 14, and a single blemish with a bogey on the 11th hole. Franquet, who has already recorded multiple top-three finishes as an amateur, looks poised to make a strong statement early in his professional career. Reflecting on his round, Franquet said, “The round went pretty well, I’m very happy with the way I managed the course. I was very patient all day, and the birdies came toward the end.” After taking a short break to reset mentally, he worked intensively with his coach over the past two weeks to prepare for the event. “We worked hard to be sharp for this tournament,” he added. “I think the turning point came on the third hole of my round (my 12th hole), where I made birdie to get to 3-under. That gave me a good boost for the finish.” Looking ahead, he’s staying grounded: “I just want to keep focusing on what I’m doing well for the next round and stick to the same game plan all week. The key is to stay focused on myself and my game.”
Alongside Franquet, France’s Victor Veyret, 28, and Italy’s Lucas Fallotico, 22, both concluded their opening rounds with a 6-under-par 66. After signing his scorecard, Veyret shared, “It was a nice round. I kept a really good attitude from this morning all the way to the end. I played Q-School last week, so that was a good warm-up for today. I know tomorrow will be tough, it usually is after a good round like this, but I’m ready to accept whatever happens. I believe I can make a difference with my attitude.”
France’s Baptiste Achard, 27, is also currently tied at 6-under-par but has yet to complete his first round.
Mason Essam, 26, from England, currently sits in seventh place on the provisional leaderboard after posting an opening-round 5-under-par 67. He got off to a steady start with birdies on holes 2 and 6, briefly set back by a bogey on the 7th, but bounced back immediately with another birdie on the 8th hole. On the back nine, he made a strong move with a brilliant eagle on hole 12 and added a final birdie on the 16th to close out a solid first round and stay well within striking distance of the lead. “Today was pretty steady,” Essam said. “I’ve been working a lot on my strategy and sticking to a process. During the break, I put in a lot of work on my game but also enjoyed some much-needed time at home. I played the first stage of DP World Tour Q-School and played well, so I knew my game was in a decent spot coming in.”Reflecting on his round, he added, “The eagle on 12 definitely got me going, I hit some lovely approach shots coming in after that.” Looking ahead, Essam is keeping it simple: “It’s me against the course, I will just stick to my strategy and see how I get on. Over the next few days, I’ll just focus on doing me. If I do that, whatever happens, I’ll be happy.”
Format & Prize Fund
The 2025 Longwy Alps Open is a 54-hole stroke-play event where a cut will be made after 36 holes to the top 40 professional players and ties including all amateurs within the cut. In case of a tie after 54 holes, a sudden-death play-off will determine the winner of the inaugural edition.
The players are competing for an overall prize fund of €47,500 and 45,000 Order of Merit points. The 2025 Longwy Alps Open winner will walk away with €6,900.00 and 6,525 Order of Merit points.

The Alps Tour Returns to France for the Second Edition of the Longwy Alps Open.
Longwy, September 1st, 2025 – The Alps Tour resumes its 2025 season this week as players head to France for the second edition of the Longwy Alps Open, set to take place from September 4th to 6th at UGolf Longwy International, in Longwy, France.
This marks the tournament’s second consecutive year on the Alps Tour calendar, following a successful inaugural edition in 2024, where France’s Damien Perrier captured the title with a three-day total of 14-under-par.
Ahead of the tournament, on September 3rd at 1:00 p.m. local time, the Pro-Am du Grand Longwy, a shotgun-start tour scramble format, will welcome approximately 20 teams.
The Field
All 10 players currently ranked in the Top 10 of the Alps Tour Order of Merit are confirmed to compete in France, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown. Spain’s Javier Barcos, the current leader, headlines the field, followed closely by Italy’s Jacopo Vecchi Fossa in second. Spain’s Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela, ranked third, and France’s Quentin Debove, in fourth, will also be in action. Spain’s Javier Calles Roman currently holds fifth position, with Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney in sixth. Spain’s Asier Aguirre Izcue sits seventh, followed by Italy’s Andrea Romano in eighth. Spain’s Jorge Maicas and Jerry Ji from the Netherlands complete the top ten in ninth and tenth place, respectively.
Nine of this season’s 2025 tournament winners are set to compete in Longwy, with a few exceptions. Spain’s Rocco Repetto Taylor, winner of the 2025 La Cigale Golf Open, will not be in the field after earning promotion to a higher-level tour following his recent victory at the Challenge de Cádiz. Also absent are his compatriot Antonio Hortal, who won the Alps de Las Castillas, and France’s Victor Dubuisson, who made a rare Alps Tour appearance to win the 2025 Biarritz Cup by C&S Partners. The former DP World Tour winner will not be returning this week.
This week’s tournament could prove pivotal for Andrea Romano and Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela. With two wins apiece this season, either player could secure immediate promotion to the HotelPlanner Tour by clinching a third title, a rare achievement that would grant full playing rights for the remainder of the year.
In the 123-player field this week, 17 countries worldwide are represented, including Argentina, Austria, Brazil, England, Spain, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Jersey, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United States of America, and Wales.
Players teeing it up at this week’s tournament are vying not only for the event title, but also for crucial points in the season-long Order of Merit standings. With each result potentially reshaping the standings, the stakes are higher than ever as the 2025 Alps Tour season nears its conclusion.
The top 5 players in the final Order of Merit rankings will earn coveted playing privileges on the 2026 HotelPlanner Tour, a significant step forward in any professional golfer’s career. With just a few events remaining before the 2025 Alps Tour Grand Final, the competition has intensified, and every shot now carries added weight.
This week’s event marks a significant milestone in the season, presenting a prime opportunity for contenders to solidify their positions or for others to make a late surge. With promotion on the line, all eyes are on the results of the upcoming events.
Format & Prize Fund
The 2025 Longwy Alps Open will be a 54-hole stroke-play event where a cut will be made after 36 holes to the top 40 professional players and ties, including all amateurs within the cut. In case of a tie after 54 holes, a sudden-death play-off will determine the winner of the inaugural edition.

The Course
The 2025 Longwy Alps Open will be hosted at UGolf Longwy International, a distinctive venue located at the meeting point of France, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Situated in the town center of Longwy, in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department of Northern France, the course stands on a former industrial wasteland that has been transformed into one of the region’s most modern and accessible golf facilities. UGolf Longwy International is home to an 18-hole championship course and a 9-hole compact course, offering a comprehensive golfing experience for players of all skill levels.
The 18-hole course was designed by acclaimed French architect Alain Prat, known for his ability to blend natural landscapes with technical challenges. The layout navigates a diverse terrain of forested areas and open plains, creating a rhythm that demands both strategic shot-making and course management. A variety of elevation changes, water hazards, and a network of well-placed bunkers add further complexity, while tightly guarded greens reward precision on approach shots.
