Borja has today signed their first victory of a season that had hovered this post up on six occasions, and has been in Guadalmina, accompanied by its President who made his Caddy - as it did in its victory at the Peugeot of Atalaya in 2009, and has done so with 9 birdies and 2 bogeys for 65 shots and a total of 16 under par.
"At last! -repeated Etchart at the end - I finally got it, it has taken but it has finally arrived. It has been a hard but fun day I think that often that I most enjoyed in a stellar game. In no time I felt nerves, nor on the first hole, and that it was all very tight. Nino has made a crucial birdie to go out with tension to play 18.
Nino took advantage at the beginning of the game, but I knew that there were still many holes with options. 5 birdies in six holes (4, 5, 6, 7 and 9)?. To tell you the truth I have not come to even notice, my strategy has been to go hole-to-hole shot after shot and it worked. I've noticed more consistency off the tee and I my putt was phenomenal. Shots with draw I played them well and yet to the fade, that there are some in this course I suffered a bit, but I've not got into trouble.
I'm now back to the level of play was when I came to the Tour. My swing is again of life thanks to the work I'm doing with Salva Luna and I would like to return to the Tour. I'll never hit 300 meters and not will I get in my life, but I think it is important to be well-head to get to the Tour, to my I came very soon.
It was a nice day, I enjoyed a lot and is a wonder to win against Bertasio, a great player".
The Frenchman Clément Berardo has finished with 65 hits to climb to second place with a total of 15 under par; Nino Bertasio concluded the tournament with 66 shots – 14 under and said: "I have it tried but Borja played very well, I didn't deserve to win and he has deserved it".
