My third victory on the ProGolf Tour and
early promotion to the Challenge Tour.

When I narrowly missed my third tournament victory by one stroke with a score of -15 at the Cuber Open at Öschberghof last week, I was quite upset and initially wanted to skip the Polish Open. However, after intense discussions with my team, I decided to take advantage of my good form and compete in Poland. This turned out to be a good decision.
With an almost unbelievable score of -26 (1 eagle, 26 birdies, and 1 bogey) and a lead of 7 strokes, I was able to confidently secure my third title and, with it, an early promotion to the Challenge Tour. Here is my official winner’s interview from the ProGolf Tour.
The fact that I was in the final group in the last three tournaments (a win with -11 and one bogey, second place with -15 and two bogeys, and a win with -27 and one bogey) shows me that I can now play consistently good golf. Of course, I am aware that I am currently on a “streak,” and this can change very quickly, especially in this sport. However, this stretch has shown me what I am truly capable of when I start with the right preparation and mindset. This insight is enormously important for achieving my next goals.
This third victory also means an early promotion to the Challenge Tour. This is, of course, ideal for me because it allows me to gain valuable insights from all the remaining Challenge Tour events this year for the upcoming season. Experiences of other Swiss players have shown that the leap from the ProGolf Tour to the Challenge Tour is quite significant. I am aware that this will be a much more challenging task, especially regarding the field of participants and course settings. Nevertheless, I am convinced that with my professionalism and necessary persistence, I will be up to this challenge.
