The Galician player has signed a third round of 50 strokes, for a total of 152 strokes, the same as César Fernández de Caleya and José María Ortiz de Pinedo, but according to the tie-breaking criteria of the event, the victory has gone to the golfer from Barbanza Pitch & Putt.

Based on the close results of the first day, which consisted of two rounds, this final round promised plenty of excitement, and it did not disappoint, given that three players shared first place.

José María Ortiz de Pinedo, first leader of the tournament

The 2026 Pitch & Putt calendar began at the Malaga course with the participation of ninety players and some of the best in the field, such as José María Ortiz de Pinedo, who arrived with his recent Spanish championship.

And it was precisely the player from Valladolid who climbed to the top of the leaderboard, with a card of 51 strokes, which he completed with a second of 49 strokes for a total of 100 strokes.

Very close to José María Ortiz de Pinedo was Rafael Santonja, second with a total of 101 strokes, thanks to two rounds of 48 and 53 strokes, already a trio formed by Marcos Gómez, César Fernández de Caleya and Antón Pérez, who shared the third place two strokes from the lead.

Once again, Bodegas Habla acted as a sponsor of the competition, gifting a valuable Magnum to the players who achieved a hole-in-one in the two days.
