In Tabarka, in the second and final competition of the Tunisian Swing, all the best elements of the circuit will be on the field, including the first twenty of the order of merit, starting with the Spaniard Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela (n. 1), who won two tournaments, the previous Tunisian Golf Open and the Red Sea Little Venice Open, who is well-intentioned to sign the hat-trick to move directly onto the HotelPlanner Tour (formerly Challenge Tour).
The Iberians started very positively, also securing a third success with Javier Barcos (n. 3), who won the New Giza Open, and with two others who were among the protagonists by placing themselves in the top seven positions of the ranking, Rocco Repetto (n. 4) and Mario Galiano Aguilar (n. 7). Also in this part of the ranking are the Frenchman Quentin Debove (n. 2), the Swiss Luca Galliano (n. 5), third seasonal winner (Ein Bay Open), and Jacopo Vecchi Fossa (n. 6), who came close to victory in Tunis (2nd).
