With some of the major tours – European Tour, LPGA, Challenge Tour or Alps Tour – already concluded, this week the spotlight falls entirely on the Asian and PGA Latin American tours, which are holding events with Spanish participation.
At the King's Cup, held at Singha Park Khon Kaen Golf Club in Thailand, Carlos Pigem, a member of the 2014 Pro Spain Program, had one of his best weeks of the year. The Catalan golfer finished sixteenth with a total of -10 after posting rounds of 67, 69, 69, and 73 strokes.
The victory went to the local player Thaworn Wiratchant (-20).
Meanwhile, the PGA Tour Latinoamérica caravan made a stop this week in Argentina, where the Personal Classic was held. Samuel del Val from Alicante made the cut and finished in 29th place with a score of -7. The tournament was shortened to 54 holes due to inclement weather.
