Vitor Lopes equalled world record at Palmares

There are very few golfers who have ever recorded four eagles in a single round, and Vitor Lopes will go down in history as one of them, after a remarkable golf round at Palmares. Additionally, he had one eagle that was also a hole-in-one.

The 26-year-old Portuguese golfer from Vilamoura shot 61 (-11) on the outstanding Palmares golf course, in the Algarve, his best professional golf round. Vítor Lopes made eagles on holes 6 (Par-5), 11 (Par-5), 17 (Par-3), and 18 (Par-5).

As a result, he took over the Palmares Classic international tournament, with 10,000 euros in prize money, as part of the PT Tour, which brings together 74 players in Lagos.

Speaking to PT Tour organiser José Correia about his hole-in-one on the 17th hole, the Challenge Tour player stated, “It was my second hole-in-one, but in official tournaments, as a professional golfer, it was my first and I’m really thrilled”.

Vítor Lopes, the seventh best Portuguese in the world golf ranking, showed once again that he is not intimidated by the wind.

The record for most eagles in a single round of golf is 4, according to Guinness World Records, however there are many different regional golfing circuits across the world. In comparison, 4 is the most you’ll see on the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour, or the PGA Tour of Australasia.

Palmares golf course is a popular golf holiday destination in Portugal and ranked 38th in the top 100 best European golf courses in 2022.

The journey, the sights, and the victory all meant something to Ángel Ayora. The 18-year-old Spaniard from Málaga won his first Men’s International Amateur Golf Championship of Portugal. Hugo Camelo (4th) and João Iglésias (9th), both from the Portuguese national team, placed in the top 10.

The Par 72 Montado golf course, at the Montado Hotel & Golf Resort, in the Lisbon region, has hosted the International Amateur Golf Championship of Portugal every year since 2011, and this year was no exception. This year, Ángel Ayora won by six strokes over the Englishman Jack McPhail, with a total of 272 strokes.

“I’m very happy”, said Ángel Ayora, absolute national runner-up in Spain in 2022 and member of Club de Golf La Cañada. “I played very well and solidly, managing to keep the ball low against the wind we faced this week. The truth is that I didn’t let myself be affected by anything and I left with an excellent result”.

There was a Spanish double in this year’s International Amateur Championships of Portugal, since on January 28 the women’s competition had been won by Rocío Tejedo, from Valencia.

For the second consecutive year, Hugo Camelo was the best Portuguese in the final table, but if in 2022 he had been 16th, this time he got a top-5.

Montado golf course, near Sesimbra, is one of the finest in the Lisbon region, which is the second most popular golf holiday destination in Portugal. This region has a wide variety of stunning golf courses and some of them are among the best golf courses in Europe.

Royal Óbidos. Royal Óbidos will host the national final of the prestigious corporate golf competition.

Internationally known corporate golf event celebrates its 30th anniversary

The Portuguese edition of the World Corporate Golf Challenge (WCGC) starts on the 25th of February. The World Corporate Golf Challenge is marking its 30th year of competition.

“The 30th edition of the world’s largest corporate golf tournament is something to celebrate, and this year is the perfect time for current and future sponsors to connect their names with the event. Strengthening the links amongst the many licenced nations will increase the international reach”, states Golf Concept’s founder Estela Sargento.

For the second year running, Golf Concept will be in charge of exclusively organising this event in Portugal, with a total of 6 events taking place at world-class golf courses.

The first competition will take place at the Amendoeira Golf Resort, in the O’Connor Jnr golf course. The course was designed by Christy O’Connor Jr. and already hosted golf tournaments on the PGA Portugal Tour and the Portuguese Golf Federation Circuit.

After Amendoeira, the next stop on the tour will be at the difficult Quinta Do Peru golf course, which will host two events in this Portuguese edition, on May 19 and 20. Due to a large number of players, it was necessary to create an extra event.

The formidable Ponte de Lima golf course, created by Daniel and David Silva, will feature again on this circuit, on June 3rd. After that, the last round before the final will be held at the Santo da Serra golf course, on June 17th.

The national final of the World Cup of Golf Championship Portugal 2023 will be held on July 8 at the Royal Óbidos, which was designed by Severiano Ballesteros and has hosted the Portuguese Open of the Challenge Tour on many occasions.

The team that wins the National Final will represent Portugal in the World Final, held for the second year in a row on the Spanish island of Tenerife.
