Final Round Player Quotes
France’s Théo Boulet, 21, earns his 1st professional win this week at the 21st Open International de la Mirabelle d’Or. He was tied for 2nd place after yesterday’s round 2, and today he shot a bogey-free 5 under-par, 65 to conclude the tournament with a three-day total of 11 under-par. In today’s final round, Boulet made 2 birdies on the front nine holes and then added 3 more birdies on the back nine for his 65. After securing his win, Boulet was very emotional: “It was a very good day, I played really well again on difficult day with tough weather conditions. There was a lot of wind today, which affected the round. My game has been extremely solid again, so I’m really pleased about it.” Boulet admitted that he definitely felt: “some nerves on the first tee, I was just a little bit nervous but after that I was very confident with my game, so it was ok.” Capturing this win here in France this week means a lot to him: “I’m so happy. It means a lot because the beginning of the season wasn’t that good for me, so it’s really nice to turn things around. It truly is special to win my first professional title here in France, at home. I’m very happy about that.” Boulet wants to: “dedicate this win to my coaches, my parents, my family, and my sponsors who have supported me from the beginning.”
Flavio Michetti, 20, from Italy, shot a final round of 5 under-par, 65 to conclude the tournament in a solo 2nd place with a three-day total of 10 under-par. He shot a bogey-free round today, making 2 birdies on the front nine holes and 3 birdies on the back nine holes. He has earned several good finishes this season and is looking to break through and win his first Alps Tour title, hopefully in the upcoming tournaments.
