After being bathed in champagne by the other Spanish players who were in the tournament, Alejandro del Rey expressed his first feelings after the first victory on the DP World Tour in the 70th tournament he played on this circuit. “It’s amazing. I’ve worked the last two years to win again and to do it the first time I’ve had a real chance, it’s pretty cool.”
The Spanish was on a cloud. “I’m in competition mode. In a while, I’ll sit down for 10 minutes, relax and accept what’s happened,” he acknowledged after having spent the entire weekend without bogeys. “I had a great start and that helped on the last day. It was about not giving Marcus (Armitage) the possibility of thinking that the tournament was open and we have worked very well in that sense,” he acknowledged to the DP World Tour media. .
Del Rey said she was “pushing for the win all day Sunday. It was very hard, after a good start, to miss the cut last week in Dubai. I was very convinced of my game, I believed I was at a high level, but “These are things that happen. On the practice field, during the weekend, I did show myself that what we had been working on in the winter was on the right track.”
The Spaniard, who inaugurates the Navy’s locker this season, also spoke that “I knew the work I was putting in, but for the rest of the people I needed a result to show it. On Sunday I remained calm. I was very happy with the game and today has been a bonus because I have been calm thanks to that. It was calm throughout the day, I was more nervous yesterday It felt very natural and I did not feel that pressure that perhaps other players notice during a Sunday. “. The party in Dubai, where he will spend the night on Sunday, was assured.
