Camille Bordone in great shape at the Freyssineau Cup which was contested this weekend on the Fontainebleau golf course.
This competition is considered - with the Ganet Cup - as the amateur men's event of the highest level in France.

At the start of the first round 135 players came to defend their chances. Sunday, last day and twice 18 holes! Camille is in the lead initially ... until 11 before being caught. Nice achievement for our young champion who finished 3rd at 2 points of the winner!

Congratulations for his commitment and tenacity.

This weekend of March 24 and 25 was the Senior Trophy in Manville ... and the first win of the season for Sylvie Boulet. Third after the first round that gathered 25 participants, Sylvie performs a clear-headed Sunday to finish first with a score of 159 and 3 points ahead of the next. Frédéric Deniau, sixth on Saturday out of 70 players, made a nice comeback to finish on the podium in third place with a score of 151, 3 points behind the winner. An excellent start to the season for our champions who came together next Saturday for the Senior Trophy in Aix-en-Provence!

After Portugal's complicated internationals and a missed cut at the Montado Golf Resort, Camille Bordone won her first Grand Prix of the 2018 season at Cap d'Agde in play-off: "I worked a lot this winter with Loïc Reyno in Pont Royal and I still needed a little time to put everything in place, says the former champion of France. It was difficult in Portugal and much better this weekend. " Author of a first round under the par (71) then a second in the par (72) with a total of twelve birdies, the Pont Royal player was in the third place with three strokes from the leader, Mickaël Najmark (St Donat), and to one of Tom Santa (White Earth), second. The three men therefore shared the last round played in ideal conditions. Very quickly, Mickaël Najmark was dropped, leaving his two main opponents in the title to fight for the win. "Arriving at the recording, we did not know if our total of 215 was going to be enough to win, comments the Provencal. We did not know if there had been better scores in the parts preceding ours. Then, we were told that we were first and we had to leave for a play off. "

At 19 years old, Camille succeeded in winning the Grand Prix de Chalon on his first appearance.

On a course he knows well for having trained himself on many occasions, when he was a student of the golf section of the "sport études" from 2015 to 2017, our champion of France amateurs 2016 took the best on the other favorite of the event, the local Thomas Dorier.

In the lead after the first round in the company of his Chalonnais opponent, after making a card of 68, 3 strokes under  par, Camille took advantage during the second day of a chaotic Thomas, to distance oneself and fly to a deserved success.

The two players will meet at the Trophée PACA, which will take place at the Golf de Servanes on 27th and 28th October and then at the Trophée des Régions, which will be held at the Golf de Saint-Cyprien from 3rd to 5th November.
