The 21-year-old Frenchman, Théo Boulet, is experiencing his best moment of play in his budding professional career after achieving his second consecutive victory on the Alps Tour after winning the Aravell Golf Andorra Open by Creand with a total of 198 strokes (-15).
The French player already won two weeks ago at the 21st Open International de la Mirabelle d'Or, so he has two consecutive professional victories.
The golfer from Golf Chantilly has taken home a check for 5,800 euros and 6,525 Order of Merit points, which propel him to second place in the ranking with 15,531 points, only surpassed by the second-placed player in Aravell, his compatriot Benjamin Kedochim, who leads the ranking with 19,635 points.
“It’s incredible to be able to win two events in a row, it’s unbelievable. You know, the goal has always been to win, but to be able to win two tournaments in a row is very rare. It doesn’t happen often at the professional level. I’m very happy, it shows that the work I’m doing is paying off,” declared Théo Boulet.
“Nothing is going to change. I’m going to keep working the way I have been, and hopefully, the season will continue on a positive note. Obviously, the ultimate goal remains the same, which is to move up to the Challenge Tour, and winning two tournaments puts me in a good position. However, the season isn’t over, so I need to stay focused,” he added.
In a final day of the tournament marked by a severe storm that brought the tournament to a halt for two and a half hours, Boulet never saw his victory threatened, despite the efforts of Frenchman Benjami Kedochim (-13) along with Italian Edoardo Giletta and Paul Margolis, who finished four strokes behind the champion (-11).
Sigot López and Rubén Lafuente, best Spaniards
Among the top finishers were Spaniards Sigot López and Rubén Lafuente, who tied for a remarkable fifth place with a total of 203 strokes (-10). López, from Madrid, gained ground on the final day with a 65 (-6), while Lafuente secured his place with a 69 (-2).
After Sigot López and Rubén Lafuente, the Spanish representation fell to eleventh place with Asier Aguirre –third last year–, with -7, while Mario Galiano and Álvaro Fernández Cabezuela shared fourteenth place, with -6.
Amateur Iván Ponsdomènech finished the tournament in twenty-fourth place, with 209 strokes (-4), being one of the best amateurs in the tournament along with Marco Florioli, ninth (-8) and Dutchman Thom Hoetmer (-5).
