Andrea Romano wins fourth Alps Tour title

Rain once again played its part at the Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON on Friday, delaying the start of the final round by an hour. However, the conditions did little to trouble overnight leader Andrea Romano, who delivered another impressive performance to secure his fourth Alps Tour title of the 2026 season.

The Italian, already a three-time winner earlier this year, got off to a fast start with a birdie on the first, followed by three more on the front nine. He continued to build his advantage on the back nine, recording three birdies and two bogeys to sign for a final-round 65 (-5). Romano finished the tournament at 17-under-par, claiming his fourth victory of the season and the sixth of his Alps Tour career.

Spain’s Pablo Alperi kept the pressure on until the end, carding an excellent 64 (-6) to finish two shots behind the champion. His compatriot Mario Galiano Aguilar secured third place with an outstanding 63 (-7), while Álvaro Morales produced the round of the day, an impressive 61 (-9), to finish fourth on his own.

With the victory, Romano earns €7,000 and 6,525 Order of Merit points, moving to the top of the season standings ahead of France’s Alexandre Vandermoten and Maxime Legros. Alperi’s runner-up finish lifts him to fourth in the Order of Merit, just ahead of fellow Spaniard Mario Galiano Aguilar. Ireland’s Robert Moran, in sixth, and France’s Paul Franquet, in seventh, remain within striking distance of the top five as the battle for promotion reaches its decisive stage.

The season will come to a conclusion next week at the 2026 Hulencourt Alps Tour Grand Final, taking place from October 15–17. The top 50 players in the final Order of Merit will compete for the last title of the season, with promotion to the 2027 HotelPlanner Tour at stake for the top five in the final standings. With the Order of Merit battle still wide open, the Grand Final promises a decisive finish to the 2026 Alps Tour season.
