Juan Postigo, statements

“It’s fantastic” said Postigo “I’ve been playing quite well since last year, but the victory never came. This is the best way to start 2023 and I really hope to win again. I played quite well, on a regular basis”.

I know Brendan is very strong, also in the two rounds I always played with Barkley, it was really a tough battle, but in the end this time I won. I made two serious yardage errors on the 18th hole: they had moved the tee forward, so I shouldn’t have used the driver… in fact I ended up in the water.

I also got the distance to the flag wrong… but in the end I managed to bring home the trophy”. With this victory Juan Postigo becomes the n. 1 of the new G4D Order of Merit, which enters from this competition, and which will crown the best player of the G4D Tour at the end of the year.
