Final Round Quotes

Italy’s Andrea Romano, 25, who secured his first professional title earlier this year at the 2025 Alps de Andalucía-Roquetas de Mar, claimed his second win in less than one month at this week’s 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps de La Gomera.Taking the lead after the second round, Romano closed out the final round with an outstanding 8 under-par 63 to end the tournament with a three-day total of 19 under-par. He got off to a blazing start with three consecutive birdies from holes 1 to 3, followed by steady pars on holes 4 and 5. Romano then birdied hole 6, eagled the par-5 7^th hole, and capped the front nine with back-to-back birdies on 8 and 9 to post a remarkable 28. On the back nine, after a series of pars, he faced a bogey on the 14^th hole but bounced back with a crucial birdie on the 17^th, sealing his victory with a two-stroke margin. Romano also participated in last week’s DP World Tour Italian Open, further highlighting his rapid rise in professional golf. “I played really, really well today, especially on the front nine where I shot 8 under par without missing a single putt,” he said. Reflecting on today’s competition, Romano added, “It was a true honor for me to compete alongside Alvaro Quiros in the final round. He is a great player. I’ve known him since I was 17, when I had the chance to play a practice round with him at the Verdura Open on the DP World Tour. To be able to battle with him for the win today is something I will remember for a while.” Looking back at his recent form, Romano explained, “Playing the Italian Open last week helped me a lot because I played well, I finished, if I’m not mistaken, in the top 30, and it gave me more confidence competing out here. I know I can perform well; it’s a matter of confidence and abilities. If I can play well and have good results on the DP World Tour, it means I can do the same out here.” Concluding on a personal note, he said, “This win is for my family and mainly my mom, who has been there every step of the way. I will now enjoy it and refocus for next week.”

Spain’s Javier Barcos and Alvaro Quiros finished the week in a two-way tie for second place with a three-day total of 17 under par. In the final round, Barcos posted an impressive 8 under-par 63, while Quiros carded a 6 under-par 65.

La Gomera, July 4^th, 2025- After two rounds at the 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps de La Gomera, the leaderboard is tightly contested. Spain’s Alfonso Buendia, Alvaro Quiros, and Italy’s Andrea Romano share the lead at 11-under-par. Just one stroke behind, in a two-way tie for fourth place, are Spain’s Juan Salama Monsalve and France’s Paul Margolis. Javier Barcos of Spain holds sixth place at 9-under-par, setting the stage for an exciting final day of competition.

The 2^nd round of the 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps De La Gomera which is being played at the scenic Tecina Golf on the island of La Gomera in the Canary Islands began at 8:00 a.m. local time. This is the 5^th edition of the 2025 Fred.Olsen Alps De La Gomera after its previous three editions, which were hosted in 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023.

Round 2 Players Quote

Spain’s Alfonso Buendia, 28, who was tied for fourth place after yesterday’s opening round, carded a beautiful 6-under-par 65 in today’s second round to move into a three-way tie for the lead with a two-day total of 11-under-par. He opened his round by making three birdies and one eagle on the front nine, and once he made the turn, the back nine became steadier, where he made one bogey before ending the day with two birdies in a row on holes 17 and 18.“I try to keep doing like I did the first round, as well as taking advantage of all the opportunities that came my way,” said Buendia. “My mindset is really simple, shot by shot and hole by hole—so I can remain calm, stay in the present, and stay focused. On Hole 18, I had a short wedge into the green and about a two-meter putt for birdie, which I holed. It’s nice to finish off with two birdies. It gives me good momentum for tomorrow.”

Alvaro Quiros, 42, of Spain, joins Buendia in a three-way tie for the lead after carding a 5-under-par 66 in today’s second round, bringing his two-day total to 11-under-par. A seasoned veteran and seven-time DP World Tour Winner, with an additional victory on the HotelPlanner Tour, he turned professional in 2004. Quiros showcased his experience with a composed round marked by key momentum shifts. He opened with an eagle, a birdie, and two bogeys on the front nine, then added a birdie on the 10^th hole before stringing together a run of pars. He closed out his round in style with three consecutive birdies on holes 16 through 18. “Today was completely different than yesterday, I wasn’t as sharp off the tee, and as a consequence, I didn’t have as many opportunities,” said Quiros. “I turned it around with a nice long putt for eagle on hole 7. I was playing okay today. My putting was better, as I was able to hole a few long putts, so I must be happy about the past two days.” Reflecting on course conditions, he added: “Weather-wise, we’ve been extremely lucky. There was barely any wind—occasionally it picked up, but then it would die suddenly, so the golf course played under similar conditions for both rounds and both waves. I found some pins today to be slightly trickier, so you had to take a bit more risk on a few of them.” Quiros concluded, “Generally, I’m very happy with how I reacted to a poorer long game, but even happier with the state of mind I had the whole day.”

Italy’s Andrea Romano, 25, who competed in last week’s DP World Tour Italian Open and claimed victory at the 2025 Alps de Andalucía–Roquetas de Mar in June, joins Buendía and Quiros in a share of the lead after the second round of the 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps de La Gomera, with a two-day total of 11-under-par. Romano got off to a strong start, making an eagle on the 3^rd hole, followed by four birdies on holes 5, 6, 7, and 9. On the back nine, he made a lone bogey on hole 12 but quickly bounced back with a birdie on 13, before adding another on the 17th hole to cap off his round. “I’m really happy about today, I played really well,” said Romano. “I’ve been solid off the tees and with my irons. My putting is okay, not as good as it was a few weeks ago when I was putting well, but overall I’m happy.” He added, “The greens here are tough to read with a lot of grain, so you need to be very careful about the breaks and, more importantly, trust your read compared to what your eyes might see. The course is in great shape, especially on holes 11 and 12, where you need to be careful as it can get windy.” Reflecting on his position, Romano said, “Being up there on the leaderboard is a good feeling. Two weeks ago, I won, and now my goal is to secure another victory to move into the top six, which would earn me an exemption and allow me to avoid Stage 1 of Q-School. However, now, I need to remain focused for tomorrow. There is a great leaderboard, and to be able to compete with Alvaro Quiros tomorrow and battle for the win will be special.”

3rd July 2025 | Alps Tour Golf

Marco Florioli from Italy Leads After Round 1 at the 2025 Fred.Olsen Alps de La Gomera.

La Gomera, July 3^rd, 2025- After the opening round of the 2025 Fred.Olsen Alps de La Gomera, Italy’s Marco Floriolileads the field with a 7 under-par, 64. In a tightly packed leaderboard, there is a two-way tie for 2^nd place at 6 under-par between Spain’s Javier Barcos and veteran Alvaro Quiros. Just one shot back, France’s Quentin Debove joins five Spanish players: Juan Salama Monsalve, Alfonso Buendia, Borja Martin, Javier Calles Roman, and Hugo Esposito, all within striking distance in tomorrow’s second round.

On the beautiful Island of La Gomera, in the Canary Islands, the first round of the 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps De La Gomera played at the scenic Tecina Golf, began at 8:00 a.m. local time. This is the 5th edition of the tournament, following its previous three editions, which were hosted in 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023. The players were able to compete under perfect weather conditions, which favored good scoring opportunities as they began the tournament with sunny skies and light winds.

Tecina Golf has served as a launchpad for rising talent, some of whom have gone on to become stars on the global stage.

Round 1 Players Quote

Italy’s Marco Florioli set the early pace at the 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps de La Gomera, taking the First-Round lead with an impressive 7-under-par 64. The 20-year-old showcased his skill and composure around Tecina Golf, carding an eagle on the par-5 7^th hole, six birdies on holes 3, 6, 8, 9, 16, and 17, and just a single bogey on the 11^th hole. Florioli’s strong start puts him at the top of the leaderboard heading into the second round of the event. The 20-year-old Italian credited his precise approach shots for his impressive score. “Today, of course, everything went pretty well, especially my approach shots into the greens. I believe that’s the key to scoring well around Tecina Golf,” he said. Florioli noted that weather conditions added an extra challenge mid-round. “We began the day with no wind, then mid-round it picked up a little bit, and it became quite challenging in the middle part of the round.” Reflecting on his round’s highlights, he pointed to a key stretch of holes. “Today’s highlight definitely was the eagle on the 7th hole after a birdie and the two more birdies in a row, which helped a lot and kept the momentum going.” He also credited the comfort of playing alongside a close friend for his positive mindset. “Today I played with one of my best friends, which helped a lot. I was at ease on the course and really enjoyed the day. That was a big part of today.” Looking ahead, Florioli acknowledged the importance of maintaining his performance. “To be at the top after the first round is very important. It feels good to be there, and hopefully, I can keep the same strategy in the next two days, and I will remain at the top.”

Javier Barcos, 23, from Spain, continued his strong season on the Alps Tour by firing a bogey-free 6 under-par, 65 in the opening round of the 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps de La Gomera, moving into a two-way tie for second place. Currently ranked fourth in the Order of Merit and winner of this year’s New Giza Open, Barcos delivered a consistent and composed performance, carding six birdies on holes 2, 3, 6, 9, 14, and 17 to stay within striking distance of the lead. “Today was really good,” said the 23-year-old Spaniard. “I’d say I didn’t have a highlight; it was just solid playing during the whole round with no crazy shots or crazy long putts.” Barcos kept his card clean with no bogeys and showed confidence off the tee and on the greens. “I honestly didn’t have anything that I struggled with,” he added. “Maybe a couple of drivers, but nothing too bad.” While pleased to be in contention early, Barcos remains focused on consistency. “It is good to be at the top from the beginning, but the important thing is just to keep playing as you are and not try anything different, just be yourself for the next rounds coming up.” He credited his putting for giving him early momentum: “I started putting really good on the front nine; then on the back nine I didn’t make as many putts, but I kept playing very solid.” Looking ahead, Barcos remains grounded despite the prospect of another win. “It would be great to win again, but it honestly won’t change anything that I’m doing or that I’m planning on doing,” he said. “I’ll just keep working as I am and try to play as good as I can every week.”

Spain’s Alvaro Quiros, 42, joins Barcos in a two-way tie for second place after carding a 6 under-par, 65 in the opening round. The experienced veteran, a seven-time DP World Tour Winner with one additional victory on the HotelPlanner Tour, who turned professional in 2004, showed his class with a steady round marked by momentum shifts. He opened with back-to-back birdies on holes 2 and 3, gave a shot back with a bogey on 4, and bounced back with another birdie on 6. After a bogey on 7, Quiros responded again with a birdie at 9 before making the turn. On the back nine, he found his rhythm, adding birdies on 12, 16, 17, and 18 to cap off a strong finish and position himself firmly in contention heading into the second round. He leaned on his experience throughout the round and credited his precision from tee to green as the foundation of his performance. “Today my long game was extremely consistent, and it was the key to my entire round,” said the 42-year-old Spaniard. “I just missed one green throughout the entire day — on a par 5 where I tried to go for the green in two, and the ball rolled off and ended up in the bunker.” Despite competing at a different level this week, Quiros expressed appreciation for the opportunity to test himself against the Alps Tour’s rising stars. “I’m excited to be here this week. It’s a different level, but it’s incredible to witness how well the young generation of professional golfers are prepared,” he said. “Today I played with a player who is half my age, and to see how he played, how he acted, and how well he was prepared, it was incredible. To keep up and be able to compete with them, you need to have the tools — they are very competitive and prepared.” Looking ahead, Quirós acknowledged the challenge posed by our host venue, particularly around the greens, “this week at Tecina Golf, the tee shots are generous, but around the greens it’s very demanding, the putting and approach shots. Especially lately, those are my weak areas and not as competitive as they need to be, so it’s nice to really test my patience with it,” he continued. “Today and for the rest of the week, my main focus is to enjoy myself, it’s very easy here, the view is beautiful, the weather is great, and I’m going to be as patient as possible with my game.”

At stake this week is a total prize fund of €42,500 and 45,000 Order of Merit points. The winner of the 2025 Fred. Olsen Alps De La Gomera will walk away with €6,200.00 and 6,525 points towards the Order of Merit standings. Once Round 2 is completed, a cut will be made to the top 40 professionals and ties, plus amateurs within the cut.

Round 1 Player Quotes

Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney, 27 years old leads by 2 strokes after his great 1^st round at the 2023 Fred.Olsen Alps de La Gomera. He shot a bogey-free, 9 under-par opening round. He currently sits in 2^nd place in the Order of Merit Rank and captured his 1^st full-field professional win at the 2023 Gösser Open which took place in May. He previously had played in some events in 2020 before the Covid-19 pandemic began but this is his 1^st full year on the Alps Tour. Mullarney turned professional in 2019 and competed in the 2022 Open Championship. After his performance, he commented: “I’m very pleased, I played nice and putted quite well. Today I was able to birdie a lot of the par 5s and one eagle which definitely helped. The course is nice, the practice putting green is different than the course so it took a little while to get used to while I got out there.” He added that he’s “usually fairly aggressive off the tees hitting a lot of drivers, and I plan to keep doing that the next two rounds and hopefully I keep putting well.”

Kevin Hesbois from Belgium, 32 years old who currently represents Ternesse Golf & Country Club, concluded his 1^st round with a 7 under-par, 64 and is one of the three players tied for 2^nd place only 2 strokes back. He made 1 eagle, 6 birdies and 1 bogey during his opening round. After his round, Hesbois commented on how well he played, “Today was fun and I obviously played well all day. On the front nine, I hit it close a couple times which helped create the momentum for the round. I was able to finish strong as well which is always nice when you have it going low.” Hesbois went on to add that: “course is really good. Conditions are good and promote low scoring. Wind was a small factor. The warmth was harder to manage. I have no real expectations this week. Just going to keep focusing on the right things. Only goal is to give myself as many birdie chances as possible and stay as patient as possible. Scores will take care of themselves.”

Netherland’s Bob Geurts, 24 years old is the second player tied for 2^nd place with a first-round score of 7 under-par. He turned professional towards the end of last year and prior to this week, his best finishes were a tie for 11^th place at the 2023 Gösser Open and at the 2023 Croara Alps Open. During today’s round, he made 1 eagle, 4 birdies and 1 bogey on the front nine and 1 bogey and 3 birdies on the back nine for a 64. After his round, Geurts was happy that he “hit the ball great and put myself in good spots to make birdies. It was a really solid day of golf. I tried to keep it simple and put a good round together.” He also commented that Tecina Golf “is great, it’s a relaxing and nice course. I love the layout and the fact that there wasn’t a lot of wind today was very fortunate.”

Twenty-six years old, Davide Buchi from Italy is the third player tied for 2^nd place after his opening bogey- free 7 under-par, 64. He currently represents Golf Club Varese and has gathered a couple of top 20 finishes so far this season. Buchi began his round with 2 birdies and an unbelievable albatross on the par 5, 3^rd hole in his first four holes. After his bogey-free round, Buchi happily commented that “I hit a great iron shot but I’d never thought that it would go in. It’s my first albatross of my career. It for sure gave me good momentum for the remaining of the round. I want to keep thinking about my own game and keep playing well like today. The course is in excellent conditions and the rough isn’t too high, therefor we will be able to go low.”

In the 3-way tie for 5^th place at 6 under-par: France’s Oihan Guillamoundeguy, Ireland’s Michael Young and Spanish amateur Jose Antonio Sintes Navarro.

Winner Quotes-

Netherland’s Vince Van Veen, 26 years of age wins the 2022 Fred.Olsen Alps de La Gomera after 1 hole of sudden-death playoff by holing out a chip shot for birdie. He was 15^th in the Order of Merit before the start of this week, but has now moved into 8^th place. Vince shot a 6 under-par round today for a three-day total of 15 under-par. He has been playing very solid during this entire season and was glad to have captured his first win on the Alps Tour at a course he was familiar. When he completed the playoff, he was very pleased, “the course was playing a lot easier today as there was less wind. There were some tricky pins but as there was less wind it made it easier. I’ve been playing well for quite some time but I kept believing and doing the same things that were making me play well which eventually led to today’s victory. To win in this fashion, in a playoff chipping in makes it even better as I’ve been waiting a while for this. There were definitely some emotions at the end which I was glad to let go.” Vince dedicates “this win is to my entire team as they have helped me throughout the tough times. We stuck together, communicated openly and I’m glad to have them by my side. My season goal was to get into the top 5, I’m close and I’m happy to have made a big stride here. I’m very thankful for the people around me who kept believing in me.”

French amateur, Julien Sale who is only 24 years old, continues to demonstrate his solid performance having 8 top 10 so far this season, 5 of them occurred in the last 5 tournaments. He has now moved into 2^nd place of the Order of Merit rank. During today’s final round, Julien shot an incredible bogey-free final round of 7 under-par round.

He shot a final round of 8 under-par, 63 which was the lowest round of the day. His round today included 1 eagle, 7 birdies and a single bogey. After his amazing 8 under-par round especially a fabulous eagle at the reachable par 4, 2^nd hole, Tomas commented “the 2^nd hole is a reachable par 4, I hit a perfect drive to 10ft and made the putt it really was a perfect hole! Of course, an eagle so early in your round, especially a final round gives you a good boost. The wind was really calm this morning which was nice, Alvaro and I were both playing really well and pulling for each other which made it even better.” He also thoroughly enjoyed the location this week, “this week is definitely one of the best weeks of the year no doubt! An amazing hotel with views over the Atlantic. The golf course is in perfect shape what else can we ask for!” When asked about his plans for the rest of the season Tomas responded, “considering the position that I am at in the rankings and how well the other guys are playing my goal is to play my best and be in contention every week. That’s the only chance I have of getting in the top 5 by the end of the year and hopefully a win will happen along the way.”

Amateur Tom Vaillant, a two-time winner this season concluded the tournament in a three-way tie for 3^rd place with a total score of 14 under-par. After his round he commented “it was another great week for me. Being in contention on the final day and finishing in the top 3 is always very positive.

It was another gorgeous day at La Gomera, the second-smallest main island of the Canary Islands, host of the 2022 Fred.Olsen Alps de La Gomera. The tournament played at the beautiful Tecina Golf began at 8:30 this morning under sunny skies. The scoring conditions were more favorable in the morning thanks to the slight breeze while in the afternoon, the conditions were more complicated due to a stronger persistent wind.

Round 2 Player Quotes-

First round leader, Netherland’s Lars Keunen maintains a 3 strokes lead heading into the final round of the tournament. He shot a 5 under-par,66 today for a two-day total of 13 under-par. His round toady included 4 birdies, 1 eagle and 1 bogey. After his round, Lars commented that his game “was pretty similar to yesterday, I unfortunately holed a few less putts. Today was definitely windier so it was slightly trickier. Tomorrow I will approach it like any other round, knowing that I have some good players only a few shots behind so I will definitely have to go low.” When asked what a win would mean to him, being 16^th in the rankings, Lars responded “a win would be really great, I definitely need it but if it doesn’t happen tomorrow I know it will happen at some point but at least I’ll be able to move up in the ranking.”

Koen Kouwenaar, winner of the 2022 Molinetto Alps Open, is in a three-way tie for 2^nd place at 10 under-par heading into tomorrow’s round. He shot the lowest round of the day with a fantastic 8 under-par 63. Being a past winner and currently 4^th in the Order of Merit, he would like to add another title to his record which would move him up in the rankings securing him a spot for next year’s Challenge Tour. During today’s round, he made 6 birdies and 1 bogey on the front nine and 2 birdies, 1 eagle and a bogey on the back nine. After his round Koen commented on how today “there was definitely less wind than yesterday and from the afternoon, however the wind today was the opposite direction compared to yesterday. For example, today on the par 5,3^rd yesterday I easily reached it in 2 and today I wasn’t able to reach it. Today the pins were slightly easier today compared to yesterday. There were some tricky ones for sure.” He also said that “My putter was very hot today especially on the back nine where on 15,16 and 17 I holed some nice long putts. I’m very happy with my -8 for today especially the way I stand. My game has improved a lot in the past few weeks as I’m avoiding a lot of big misses. On this golf course, distance control from the rough is very hard so I’m glad to be in the fairway for most of the day.” When asked about his strategy for tomorrow, Koen explained: “tomorrow I just want to be objective in the way I play, just do my thing. Don’t get distracted and be mentally very flat and not influenced by how my score is evolving throughout the round.”

Italy’s Stefano Mazzoli, who won the first event of the season, the 2022 Ein Bay Open is the second player tied for 2^ndplace at 10 under-par. He shot 31 on the front nine and 34 on the back nine for a 6 under-par, 65 today. After his round, he explained that he played “well both days so far. I struggled both day scoring on the back nine even if I’m played really well. On the front nine my game was very solid both days. I missed some yardages on the back due to the wind. Tomorrow I need to take advantage of the short holes and the par 5 on the front nine. Also it’s important to maintain the ball in the fairway as distance control from the rough is tricky on this course.”

French amateur, Tom Vaillant two-time winner this season, and 2^nd in the current ranking is looking to add a third title to his season. He is the third player who is tied with a two-day total of 10 under-par heading into the final round tomorrow. Tom made 8 birdies and 1 bogey during his second round. At the conclusion of his 7 under-par round, he mentioned “my game is great, I’m feeling really good and I think this course is a very good fit for me. Today was definitely windier for me compared to yesterday. Tomorrow I will approach the course with the same strategy than the past two days and we will see what happens.” He also added that his plan to change his playing status from amateur to professional should occur at the end of this year.

In 5^th place at 9 under-par, Netherland’s Vince Van Veen. There is a 6-way tie for 6^th place just one stroke back that includes: Gary Hurley, Davey Porsius and Julien Sale (am).
