The 11th Andalucía Golf Challenge-Destination PGA Riviera Maya Circuit returned to Sevilla once again this year, with one of the open tournaments being played at Zaudín Golf. Designed by Gary Player, the course attracted unanimous praise from the players, who enjoyed sunny conditions but, fortunately, not too much of the extreme heat that had been forecast. 

The scratch winner was Manuel Ángel Pulido Domínguez, with 42 points. Gonzalo García Frías led the way in category one (40 points), followed by Alfonso López Rodríguez (also 40) and José María Gil Osorio (39). The winner of category two was Daniel Jorge Houche (43 points), with Jesús Ruiz Rasco second (41) and Manuel Caracuel López (40) third.

FULL RESULTS

Zaudín was the seventh of the 25 scheduled tournaments that will make up the 11th edition of this open amateur circuit organised by Andalucía Golf/España Golf magazine. Between March and October, the circuit is being held in the Andalucian provinces of Málaga, Cádiz, Huelva, Almería, Sevilla and Granada, as well as in Madrid and Segovia, with most of the events taking place on the Costa del Sol.

The grand finale, which will decide the five winners of trips to the Mexican Caribbean, will be held at Marbella Club Golf Resort on 2 October, followed by a gala dinner at El Gamonal Restaurant in Marbella.

Access to the final will be secured directly by the winners of both categories and the scratch winner in each tournament, while the rest of the places will be awarded based on a ranking of points obtained in each event, comprising the best six results tallied throughout the circuit schedule (no minimum number of events has to be played).

The circuit’s sponsors are Sanitas, Viviendo del Trading, Bahía Príncipe Golf, Bahía Príncipe Hotels & Resorts and Bahía Príncipe Residences; and the collaborators, Holiday Golf, Fairway + Blue, Bodega Laus and Marbella Town Hall. Cadena SER and Andalucía Golf/España Golf magazine are the official media.

The next events in May will be on the 20th at La Herrería and the 29th at Valle Romano.
