Round 1 Player Quotes –

England’s Jack Floydd who represents Haywards Heath Golf Club leads by 1 stroke at the conclusion of the 1^st round at the 2023 Ein Bay Open. He shot a 7 under-par 65 round today with 3 birdies on the front nine holes and 1 bogey and 5 birdies on the back nine. Jack is 26 years old and turned pro in 2020. After his round, Jack commented: “I played very solid today. My game was great off the tee and gave myself a decent chance for birdie on the majority of the holes.” During the back nine, he made 4 birdies in a row from holes 14 until 17, when asked if anything different happened he added: “I had chances on the front nine but didn’t start converting until the back nine. It definitely helped that 2 birdie putts were from about 1 foot. However, I did make a long one as well.” Jack currently: “feels in control of my swing and my ball flight. I also had relatively good pace on the greens today which helped. I’ve been working hard with my coaches over the winter and I feel very confident with my game heading into the season.”

Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney, concluded his first round with a 6 under-par, 66 and is in 2^nd place only 1 stroke back. He began his round on the 10^th hole today and had a strong start making 5 birdies on his front nine and then made 3 birdies and 2 bogeys on his back nine. He begins his first full season on the Alps Tour wanting to gain stability. Ronan turned professional in 2019 and competed in the 2022 Open Championship. After his round, he was pleased with how “how I played today. The wind picked up on my back 9, the course front nine which made it a bit trickier but I practiced hard over the winter so I was ready. My wedge game was very sharp today which helped me put together the round.”

One of the seven players tied for 3^rd place at 5 under-par is Italian amateur Flavio Michetti who represents Marco Simone Golf Club. In today’s round, he made 2 birdies and 5 birdies on the front nine and 2 birdies on the back. After he completed his first round, Flavio commented: “I played very solid today. I had a strong start with a birdie on the 1^st hole and the 4^th hole and that allowed me to be confident in my game for the remainder of the round. Today I putted very very well, I made 28 putts today hitting 17 greens. I believe that being able to putt well on these greens it gives you a big advantage.” When asked about the course he went on to add: “The course is in very good conditions, the greens are very good and the ball rolls well.”

Tied for 3^rd place alongside Flavio Michetti at 5 under-par and 2 shots back of the lead, there is Spain’s Jorge Maicas, Netherland’s Davey Porsius, Spain’s Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela, Italy’s Cristiano Terragni and Enrico Di Nitto and Swiss’s Luca Galliano.

Players Quotes-

Luca Galliano from Switzerland has a 2 strokes lead over France’s Louis Bellan heading into tomorrow’s final round. He shot a 5 under-par 67 today at Golf Nazionale for a two-day total of 9 under-par. Today Luca was pleased as he had a tough start to his second round but was able to turn it around midway. After he signed his card, he commented: “Today was a good round, definitely a positive round. I had a rough start being +3 after 5 holes and wasn’t playing. After that I just told myself let’s try it, I hit a good shot into the 7^th hole for eagle and after that my round began. I played solid, just trying to hit every fairway, every green and make some putts.” Luca finished his round strong with an eagle on the par 5 18^th hole: “I risked it off the tee on the 18^th hole hitting driver and got rewarded with another good shot and made about a 20ft putt for a very good eagle to finish my round off.”

France’s Louis Bellan is in 2^nd place with a two-day total of 7 under-par. Today, he shot a 3 under-par 70 at Olgiata Golf Club with 4 birdies and a single bogey. After today’s round, Louis commented: “My game was pretty solid. My driving was on point today and the putts were dropping on the front nine holes. I prefer Olgiata Golf Club out of the two courses, but it’s great to be able to play on two amazing courses.”

Ireland’s Paul Murphy who yesterday was in a tie for 3^rd place at 4 under-par, concluded his 2^nd round with a two-day total of 6 under-par. Today, he competed at Golf Nazionale.

Paul was very pleased with his tournament so far but is tremendously grateful to his friend Harry McGeary that flew in to caddy for him during the first 2 rounds this week. After his round, Paul happily commented: “I went out there today with the intention like nothing happened yesterday and pretty much stuck to my game plan and routine but most importantly believed in myself. Every time I got down I knew I was able to get birdies along the way as I was very confident in myself so it didn’t really bug me.” When asked what he thought about starting his tournament at Olgiata GC, Paul responded: “Yesterday for me personally I had an easier start by starting on the back nine. I knew I wanted to start by going low and then the round took over itself. Luckily, I continued the momentum from yesterday’s round into the round today.” Ahead of tomorrow’s final round where 2023 Alps Tour playing cards are at stake, he said: “Tomorrow I will focus again on the same thing like today by thinking nothing happened today. Take one shot at a time and believe in myself. I put the hard work to use so far so now I just have to let it happen.”
