While cherishing his latest triumph, Lucas Vacarisas said:

“I was playing well and I just tried to do my best and play every hole that way. I’m so happy with my game and with all the work we’ve done this year."

The said competition was scheduled from 5th to 8th October at Pont Royal, Mallemort de Provence, in the south of France.

A peek into Lucas Vacarisas' last five performances

While the golf world is currently witnessing Lucas Vacarisas' grand victory, let's have a look at his last five performances. These performances were a mix of good as well as average spots.

Talking about his fifth tournament, the Indoor Golf Group Challenge; here, the talented golfer finished in T78 position. On the other hand, he achieved a fantastic finish at the Challenge de España by positioning on T4.

This offers the young golfer a chance to compete in the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final, which will be backed by the R&A, next month.

Additionally, with the top 45 golfers from the Hainan Open teeing off at Club de Golf Alcanada, Vacarisas is anticipating a grand conclusion to the season.
