Vandermoten Wins Again On Alps Tour

“I’m very happy. I dreamed of this third victory, and to actually achieve it is incredible. I’m very proud to have done it in my first season.”, said Alexandre Vandermoten, after he claimed his third Alps Tour title of the season at the Longwy Alps Open

The rookie was once again in impressive form on Saturday, signing a third consecutive 65 (-7) to finish the tournament at 21-under-par and complete a remarkable week.

Following in the footsteps of Andrea Romano and Maxime Legros earlier this season, Vandermoten secured his third victory of the season, adding the Longwy Alps Open to his wins at the Villa Paradiso Alps Open and the UGolf Aravell Andorra Open. The achievement also guarantees his direct promotion to the HotelPlanner Tour.

“My goal now is to earn my American Tour cards and my DP World Tour card. It’s a relief to go there already knowing that I have my HotelPlanner Tour card.”, said the young Frenchman.

Spain’s Alejandro Rodriguez Andreu, winner of the Gösser Open, finished in a share of second alongside Ireland’s Sam Murphy and Spain’s Alberto Dominguez.

Another notable performance came from Cameroonian para golfer Issa Nlareb A Amang, who made the cut for the first time on the Alps Tour in Europe and finished an impressive 15th, signing a strong final-round 67 (-5) despite two penalty strokes.

With the victory, Vandermoten earns €7,820 and 6,525 Order of Merit points, consolidating his third place in the Order of Merit. Spain’s Pablo Alperi finished fifth and moved up to fourth, ahead of Mario Galiano Aguilar in fifth and Robert Moran in sixth.

The race for qualification to the 2026 Hulencourt Alps Tour Grand Final and promotion to the HotelPlanner Tour will resume on Thursday, September 10th, at Aa Saint Omer GC in France for the 2026 Hauts de France-Pas de Calais Open.
