Portugal was once again in focus at the PGA Aroeira Open, the penultimate event of the 2026 PT Tour season. Played at PGA Aroeira No.1 Course, the tournament brought together international professionals and rising local talent on one of the Lisbon region’s most established layouts.
Tomás Melo Gouveia finished as the leading Portuguese player and the only national representative inside the top 10. He secured ninth place at four under par, following rounds of 68, 73 and 71. The result continues a consistent run for the Portuguese professional, who recently claimed victory at the San Lorenzo Open in the Algarve.
The tournament was won by English amateur Dylan Radford, who posted an impressive 13 under par total of 203 strokes. He defeated Belgian professional Matthis Besard in a playoff after both players delivered strong performances across three rounds.
Behind Melo Gouveia, Pedro Lencart was the second best Portuguese finisher, tied for 13th place at three under par. João Pereira stood out as the top Portuguese amateur, finishing 20th at one under par. His performance is notable given his recent return from a five month academic break abroad.
Pedro Figueiredo, a two time PT Tour winner this season, finished tied 24th overall. Despite the result, he closed with an excellent final round of 66, one of the best scores of the day.
The 2026 PT Tour season now concludes with the Optilink Tour Championship, taking place from 6 to 8 March at PGA Aroeira No.2 Course. As Portugal golf continues to grow in depth and competitiveness, the PT Tour remains an important platform for national and international players alike.
