French Pro Clement Charmasson Wins Challenge of Spain in Style

Blemish-free Performance Secures First Professional Win

In a display of nerves of steel and maturity beyond his years, French professional Clément Charmasson claimed his first professional victory at the Challenge of Spain held at Fontanals Golf. Charmasson’s victory was the stuff of dreams, marked by trust, serenity, and the patience of a seasoned veteran, not a rookie on the Hotel Planner Tour.

A Masterclass in Golf

Charmasson’s performance was a clinic in masterful golf: solid off the tee, precise with his irons, and deadly with his putter. He waited for the birdies to come naturally and wasn’t rattled by the two bogeys in the final holes that could have cost him the title. The Frenchman ultimately sealed the victory with a score of 17 under par, courtesy of a closing round of 69.

“I’m proud… All the work of the last 10 years came to my head, and I couldn’t stop crying… It was wonderful to be able to share this with them.”
