Joel Moscatel has won again on the Challenge Tour. He triumphed at the Vaudreuil Golf Challenge in northern France, defeating local golfer Benjamin Hebert, a six-time winner on the circuit, in a playoff. This victory comes just six weeks after the Catalan golfer's win at the Challenge de España.

Joel Moscatel won with a total of -14, posting rounds of 71, 67, 66, and 70. In this final round, he mirrored Hebert's finish: a bogey on the 17th and a birdie on the 18th to force a playoff. Just one stroke shy of the playoff was another Spaniard, Quim Vidal (-13), who needed one more birdie—his eighth of the day—on the final two holes.

On the first extra hole, Joel Moscatel shook off his nerves and signed a good par that the Frenchman could not answer, making bogey.

In this way, Joel Moscatel, golfer of the Pro Spain Team, adds his second victory on the European silver circuit after the one achieved in the Challenge de España and gets fully into the fight for the number one of the Race to Mallorca, the circuit's order of merit.

Spanish festival on the Ladies European Tour

The double was truly within reach this Sunday. The VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open, part of the Ladies European Tour, finished with four Spanish players in the Top 10. The best of them all was Fátima Fernández (-10), who was just one stroke behind the winner, England's Alice Hewson.

The Galician golfer delivered a spectacular performance, with three rounds under par. María Hernández, finishing fifth with -8, and Mireia Prat and Harang Lee, both seventh with -7, followed suit. The four of them contributed to a tournament in Switzerland that was decidedly Spanish.

On the other hand, Adri Arnaus (-8) also shone, in his case at the Italian Open, a tournament in which Adrián Otaegui (-6) remained in the top positions until the final round. A good showing from both.

Equally commendable has been the role of Amaia Latorre this week; she has been twelfth with +1 in the MoreGolf Mastercard Open, a LET Access Series event.
