Final Round Players Quotes-

Netherland’s Davey Porsius wins the 2022 Hauts de France- Pas de Calais Golf Open by 1 shot. He shot a final round of 1 under-par that included 4 birdies, 1 bogey and a double bogey. He has been close to capture his first win numerous times this season but was never able to close out. His golf game proved to be in great shape and his mindset helped him capture the win. After his round, Davey was satisfied to comment: “It means a lot, last week I had a 4 strokes lead into the final round and completely blew it. So, I talked to my coach to figure out what happened and how to improve going forward. I talked to him yesterday and I told him I’m not going to try and win but just wanted to put together a good round and see what that brings. Therefor not trying to win actually helped me win.” This week has most likely been one of the hardest weeks on tour this season due to the difficult scoring conditions and tough course layout. Davey continued to explain: “I always like playing the more difficult courses, the birdies on this golf course aren’t easy so I’m happy to have been able to win here my first event on a tough course. That makes me think and shows me I’m hitting the ball well and putting well also.” When asked about his schedule for the upcoming events, he said: “I’m going to stick to my plan, take a week off next week, see my coach and then get back to playing all of the events with hopefully more wins.”

One of this seasons past winners, Italy’s Gregorio De Leo who won the 2022 Memorial Giorgio Bordoni was tied for 2nd at the end of round 2, and shot a final round of 1 under-par to conclude the tournament in 2nd place. With a three-day score of 3 under-par, he commented: “Today was a tough round, the wind was strong again and the pins were tough. This has been one of the hardest courses so far this season and I was able to only make one bogey today and I’m happy. The scores this week showed how tough the course was. I’m happy overall. Finishing 2nd even if it was by 1 shot it is always a good result going forward.”

In a 3-way tie for 3rd place at 2 under-par: Italy’s Manfredi Manica, French amateur Julien Sale and Italy’s Andrea Saracino. In 6th place at 1 under-par France’s Franck Daux.

Only 5 players were able to shot an under par final round, resulting in 6 players concluding the tournament with an under-par score.

LETAS-

On the women’s side of the tournament, New Zealand’s Momoka Kobori kept her lead throughout the final round to clinch her second win on the LET Access Series. She carded three-under 70 shots today to win by four strokes. Dutch Amateur Lauren Holmey finished tied for second at -4 with Spain’s Noemi Jimenez Martin. Noemi Jimenez Martinshot an incredible 7 under-par in her final round today to have the course record but unfortunately it was an unofficial course record due to the preferred lies conditions the players had this week.
