When play began the weather was overcast with the sun peeking through and chillier temperatures compared to the first two rounds. Play began at 9:00 am local time from both the 1st and 10th hole. The leaders teed off at 10:20 am from hole 1.

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.
