Amateur Golf Championship in Montado

The 91st International Women’s Amateur Golf Championship in Portugal, which was played at the Montado Hotel & Golf Resort, from 12-15 May 2021, was won by Lucie Malchirand (22nd World Championship), who totalled 274 strokes, 14 under par, with rounds of 73-66-67-68, leaving compatriot Vairana Heck four shots away with 278 (-10), rounds of 72-79-69-67 and Spanish Andrea Revuelta Goicoechea in third place with 280 strokes, 71-74-66-69.

It was the “revenge” of Malchirand, who in 2019 had lost by the slightest difference in a great duel to her compatriot Pauline Roussin-Bouchard and who in 2020 had finished in the 11th position.

The Portuguese Sofia Barroso Sá not only significantly improved her final position compared to 2020, reaching the 12th position (when she was 22nd last year), but also achieved the best ranking of a Portuguese golf amateur since the tournament changed its format from match play to stroke play In 2008.

The previous best Portuguese position belonged to Marta Vasconcelos (Oporto Golf Course), with the 13th position in 2008, winning with 296 (+12), rounds of 75-73-71-79, in an edition with only 55 participants, held at Par 71 of the Benamor Golf Course.

Sofia and Leonor are two of the best Nacional Golf young talents, they know what they want (compete in the top level of professional golf) and are ambitious.

Both will be part of the Portuguese team in the German Girls & Boys Golf Championship, one of the most important European under-18 amateur golf competitions.

Portugal golf holidays – Portugal with new air routes in the summer

Portugal with new air routes in the summer

Portugal with new air routes

Ryannair is an important partner for the development of tourism in Portugal and so the Tee Times Golf Agency considers these new routes of great importance, as the frequency of flights is vital to encourage travelers, especially golfers both for the Algarve and for Lisbon.

Operating already in Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Ponta Delgada and Terceira (Lajes) airports, Ryanair announced that two new routes, Lisbon-Cologne (Germany), with two weekly flights, and Faro-Belfast (Northern Ireland), with daily flights, will be included in their new summer programme, plans to operate a total of 121 routes in Europe and 595 flights during the high season.

For Ryanair, this is an optimistic message of hope and confidence in the return of trips for this summer being favourable with the European Union’s proposal for the creation of “green certificates” that allow citizens of the Member States to travel between the different countries during the summer, although, they think that should not be a discriminatory factor among voyagers.

Ryanair currently operates at 240 airports, has 77 bases in 40 countries and expects to receive more than 200 new Boeing aircraft in the coming years.
