The Andalusian Pitch & Putt Circuit 2013 held its seventh and eighth rounds of the season in two courses in Marbella: Monte Paraiso Golf and Magna Marbella Golf.
In Monte Paraíso, as in the previous tournament held at La Escuela Pública La Cartuja, the maximum equality between the main contenders for victory resulted in a tie at 50 strokes (4 under par) between José Luis López Bautista and Antonio Pimentel Jiménez at the top of the scratch classification.
Both golfers, recent winners along with Leonardo Lilja Moyano, José López Moncayo and Pedro Rodríguez Cielos (captain) of the Interterritorial de España de Pitch & Putt for the second consecutive year, also had the same handicap so, according to the rules of the competition, it was necessary to resort to the last 9 holes to tip the balance in favor of José Luis López Bautista, who thus opens his locker of victories in this edition of the Circuit.
