One of the great news that this tour of two European Tour tournaments brought to Spain was the charitable initiative that the Catalan Adri Arnaus has carried out together with the Gasol Foundation, called 'Birdies for Childrens Health', with which the player of Moià contributed €100 for each birdie achieved and €250 for each eagle.

He left the Spanish Open with a total of €1,550, to which this week he added €2,350, thanks to an eagle and the 21 birdies achieved these four days at the Real Club de Golf Sotogrande. To that we must add the contributions that other players and anyone who wanted to join this beautiful initiative that arose a few weeks ago in a conversation between Arnaus himself and Pau Gasol have been making.
Arnaus finished the Estrella Damm in nineteenth position with 8 strokes under par, another eight behind the winner, the Polish Adrian Meronk (-16). Pau Gasol Sáez (Barcelona, 6 July 1980) is a former Spanish basketball player.
