Blonde mane hidden under his cap, angelic face but sharp look as soon as his clubs caress his ball, Oihan Guillamoundeguy has Basque and Landes in the veins. He has played with passion, a passion that has devoured him since the age of 8. No question of putting himself martel in mind or even unnecessary pressure at his age. At 20, the fellow exudes a serious, solid but creative and intuitive golf course. Whether it is Bernard Pascassio, the former big champion, organizer of the event, Denis Fabre, the director of the tournament or Vincent Paris, the CEO of the Golf Cabot de Bordeaux, all see him in him a future champion. But we are only in the prologue and everyone knows that the road is long to reach the top.
A more delicate Friday
Fifteen days after shining (4e) to the United Arab Emirates on the HotelPlanner (the old challenger) and despite underperformance a week later in Abu Dhabi (56e), he arrived at the Pian-Médoc without feeding the slightest complex despite a scope of raised players. On the first round, he distinguished himself by making a card of 65 (slope at 70) like three other competitors and this Friday, in more delicate weather conditions, he saved his out of par and remains more than ever a candidate in the coveted title of champion of France.
“This day of Friday turned out to be much more complicated because of the wind and the flags arranged in the corners,” he put into perspective. It was not very easy to score but I fought well so I’m very happy. For the moment, we can talk about two full days. Thursday, I hit the irons better so I managed more birdies. This Friday, I hit two or three players in the roofs a little far from the flags and we run fast after the scoring. But I am rather satisfied with my game, you have to continue on this path. ”
Even if nothing has yet been played, Ohan Guillamoundeguy will not hesitate to try his luck like a leaping Basque to conquer the National Grail. To the question, what can you wish for Saturday: “Lots of birdies!” »»
