Rookie Victor Perez started his season with a promising 3rd place at the Honma Hong Kong Open by Amundi. Last month, he won his first victory on the European Tour by winning the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, becoming the first Frenchman to enter his name on the charts.

The Tarbais is now looking forward to taking advantage of its excellent form of the moment on its National Open for its second participation: “Confidence came from this fantastic victory. It's exciting to come back to France after my first victory on the circuit. My rookie season has been great so far, but having a good week at home in front of my audience would make it even more exceptional. "

This success offered him a strong progression in the Race to Dubai where there are now 4 French in the top 30, with Benjamin Hebert, Romain Langasque and Mike Lorenzo-Vera.

17th on Monday, the highest-ranked Frenchman is Benjamin Hebert. This season, the Briviste went on the verge of a first victory on the European Tour at the Volvo China Open, then at the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open where it was beaten by nothing by the Austrian Bernd Weisberger after a three hole play off.

“It is always special to play at home, and it would obviously be fantastic to win my first title in France after being so close to victory. I am well placed in Race to Dubai and it would be great to see another French victory this season. "

Romain Langasque is also in a good dynamic after having won his first professional title at the Hopps Open de Provence, on the Challenge Tour in 2018 and having regained his right of play on the European Tour at the qualification tournament at the end of last season. Among his 7 top 20 this season, he has a finalist place at the South African Open as well as two 3rd places at the Made in Denmark by Freja and the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open.

“I had good results this year and I am now determined to take a step further to seek my first victory on the European Tour. I won in France last year on the Challenge Tour and it would be really special to win a new title at home. "

Lorenzo-Vera, the 4th Frenchman well positioned in Race To Dubai, also came close to a first success on the European Tour this season. It has been classified 6 times in the Top 10 including two second places at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters and the Estrella Damm NA Andalucia Masters organized by the Sergio Garcia Foundation.

“It's been a good season so far for me. It's great to be in the midst of so many French people in the top 30 of the Race to Dubai. After two second places this season, there would be no better place to win my first title than at Golf National. "

Including this tricolor quartet, they will be 21 French at the start of the oldest Open in Europe. We notably find Alexander Lévy, five-time winner on the European Tour, Grégory Bourdy, who has four successes on the circuit and Raphaël Jacquelin celebrated his 600th appearance on the European Tour this year without forgetting Victor Dubuisson, winner of the 2014 Ryder Cup.

The Amundi Open de France ticket office is open.
