Alps Tour Grand Final, statements
The first 50 players on the money list (49 at the start) who have participated in at least five events in three different countries were admitted to the competition, which is played over a distance of 54 holes without a cut.
Two already have the 'card' in their pocket, the Irish Ronan Mullarney (two successes), leader of the order of merit, who can no longer leave the top 5, and the Dutch Kiet Van der Weele, second, who, scoring aside, he took advantage of the rule that promotes the winners of three tournaments in the season.
They will both be on the pitch together with all the others who scored during the year: the Italians Luca Cianchetti, Manfredi Manica and Gianmaria Rean Trinchero, the Englishman Jack Floydd, the Spaniards Quim Vidal and Josè Manuel Pardo Benitez, the Dutch Lars Keunen and the Frenchman Oihan Guillamoundeguy.
The winner will receive a check for 10,000 euros (5,000 euros per second) out of a prize pool of 50,000 euros. For the money list he will receive 9,500 points with 6,000, 3,660 and 2,700 following up to 405 for the last in the ranking.
As mentioned, 14 Italian players will be in the field, but only five will have the chance to enter the quintet: the aforementioned Manica (8th in the ranking) and Rean Trinchero (9th) with at least a third place (mathematically also with a fourth on their own, but extremely at risk), Cianchetti (10th) with a placing no higher than second, Enrico Di Nitto (12th) and Andrea Romano (14th) with a success.
The Rules of Golf are a set of standard rules and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf throughout the world, outside of the United States and Mexico, which are the responsibility of the United States Golf Association.
An expert commission made up of members of the R&A and USGA oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision is effective January 1, 2016. Changes to the rules of golf generally fall into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that in certain cases reduce penalties to ensure balance.
The rule book, entitled "Rules of Golf", is published on a regular basis and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy it is up to Federgolf to supervise the competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R & A, checking that these rules are observed by the Clubs, Associations and their members and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
