Spaniard Adri Arnaus is returning to his Alps Tour roots this week as he prepares for the Euram Bank Open and his first appearance at the picturesque Golf Club Adamstal.`
Arnaus burst on to the professional golf scene in 2017, winning two events on the Alps Tour as an amateur and topping the Order of Merit that same year to earn his place on the European Challenge Tour.
The following season he graduated to the European Tour after finishing inside the Top 15 on the Challenge Tour Rankings, winning the Ras Al Khaimah Challenge Tour Grand Final.
Golf Club Adamstal is situated in a valley in the Lower Austrian Alps, and after hosting the Euram Bank Open on the Challenge Tour since 2018, this week it is the venue for the second of two dual-ranking events. After missing out on the tournament two years ago, Arnaus is pleased to have made the trip to Ramsau as the 2020 season continues.
Also in the field this week is Scotland’s Ewen Ferguson, who will be hoping to go one better than his runner-up finish at this event last year.
The 24-year-old carded an eight under par round of 64, making a charge from 13th place at the start of the final day, to finish as runner-up to compatriot Calum Hill alongside Portugal’s José-Filipe Lima.
Hoping to carry on his form from last week’s Austrian Open is Germany’s Marcel Schneider. The 30-year-old carded four consecutive rounds of 69 – dropping just four shots all week – to finish one stroke behind winner Marc Warren.
As per all events for the remainder of the 2020 season, the Euram Bank Open will be governed by the European Tour’s comprehensive Health Strategy, which will see healthcare specialists Cignpost deliver rapid on-site COVID-19 screening.
In order to help mitigate risk, all players, caddies and on-site personnel will be tested, and participants will operate within national public health guidelines, including social distancing and following enhanced hygiene directives.
