After two days devoted to Pro-Am and reconnaissance, the 138 international players are ready to do battle. Divided into 46 starts staggered throughout the day, it is with one goal in mind that the players will set off on the course: to pass the cut on Friday evening. Among them, more than a third are from France.

Several Frenchmen among the 49 present will undoubtedly be closely followed during these first two days of competition, in particular Julien BRUN who is currently ranked in the top 15 of the Challenge Tour.

The eyes of the spectators will also be riveted on Mathieu DECOTTIGNIES-LAFON, Jérôme LANDO CASANOVA, Frédéric LACROIX, Grégory BOURDY, Sébastien GROS and Victor RIU. The locals will certainly encourage Damien PERRIER, originally from Rennes. David RAVETTO, promising RCF player, will also be there. His name is perhaps not unknown to you since he is the nephew of Christophe RAVETTO, three times no.1 French amateur between 1995 and 1997.

Spectators and other golf enthusiasts who will follow the tournament remotely via the Bluegreen and Open de Bretagne social networks will also be interested in international competitors. It will be necessary to closely follow the parts of the German Hurly LONG who finished in 3 top 10 at the end of the last 5 tournaments in which he participated, the Dutchman Daan HUIZING currently 4th in the Challenge Tour standings, the Englishman Jonathan THOMSON who finished 3rd at the 2019 Brittany Open and Santiago TARRIO, the current Spaniard leader and recently winner in Spain.

The members of the Bluegreen organization will encourage Paul Beauvy, former resident of the Bluegreen Academy who will start at hole 10 at 9am and Nicolas Piquot, director of the Golf Bluegreen Tours-Ardrée who qualified there a few weeks during an internal competition. He will set off on the course at 49:15 pm at hole n ° 01 on the occasion of the last start of the day.

The weather should be good for this first day of competition, which is sure to delight the spectators present. To date, more than 1600 tickets have been reserved for free for the 4 days of the tournament!
