Tiago Cruz, one of Estoril Golf Club’s players, won for the fourth time in the last six years, the traditional Terceira Open Pro-Am (CGIT) in the Azores, with 8 thousand euros money award. In the 38th edition of this golf event, which took place between the 3rd and the 7th of September, the rain didn’t stop and, for this reason, the competition had to be reduced from three to two days. Nevertheless, it didn’t stop players from reaching excellent results. Tiago Cruz won with 134 hits, 10 below Par, after rounds of 68 and 66, chased by 4 strokes by Miguel Gaspar (70 + 68), the 2018 champion, who tried to defend the title unseccessfully. Hugo Santos, the 3rd ranked, signed laps of 69 and 73 for an aggregate of 2 strokes below Par.
This year, Tiago Cruz had already achieved two prominent results in international competitions: 3rd place in the Tour Championship of Portugal’s Pro Golf Tour in Troia, and the 44th position in the Andalucia – Costa del Sol Match Play 9 of the Challenge Tour in Malaga. More recently, two months ago, he had been the main figure of professional national team who won the Taça Manuel Agrellos at Montado. After this victory in the Azores he is ready for the 57th Open de Portugal @ Morgado Golf Resort, where he won a distinguished 4th place last year.
