On October 18, 19, and 20, the Parador de Málaga Golf course hosted the first event of the UGP Tour WAGR 2024/25, a tournament that brought together 46 players in the men’s category and 14 players in the women’s category. The competition was marked by the intensity of the game and the changing weather conditions that influenced the course of the rounds.
On Friday the 18th, the wind was the course’s best ally, making for a challenging day of play for all participants. In the women’s category, Sara Moreno ended the day leading the scoreboard by one stroke over Amanda Revuelta and Tiphani Knight, while on the men’s side, Nikolas Tyminski delivered a brilliant round of 71 strokes, being the only player to beat the course. He finished the day with a 4-stroke lead over Ángel Rodríguez and Alejandro Fernández.
Saturday, however, saw more favorable weather, allowing players to perform at their best under ideal conditions. The female players remained evenly matched, setting up for an exciting battle on Sunday. On the males’s side, Sebastian Desoisa carded a 67 (-5), narrowing the gap to Nikolas by two strokes, although Nikolas maintained his solid form, keeping his 4-stroke lead going into the final day.
Sunday, like Saturday, dawned with ideal conditions for an exciting day in both the male’s and female’s competitions.
In the male’s category, Nikolas Tyminski was crowned champion with a solid and consistent performance, holding off a final attack from Sebastian Desoisa. Both were tied going into the final hole, where Nikolas delivered one of the best shots of the week, landing the ball less than a meter from the hole with his second shot and finishing with a marvelous birdie to secure the win.
In the female’s category, Tiphani Knight showed her best form of the weekend, playing very solidly to beat the course with a round of 71 strokes, finishing 4 strokes ahead of Amanda Revuelta.
The UGP Tour WAGR #1 at Parador de Málaga Golf was undoubtedly a tournament filled with excitement, where the players’ talent and ability to adapt to the course conditions were key to their success. The event left memorable moments and promises to be the start of an exciting season.
