Alejandro Aguilera “Raspu” (-5) has won a tournament again. Has done it in the Individual Championship of the Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro. The Madrilenian has taken the victory with laps of 74, 70, 72 and 67 strokes, four strokes better than Sergio Javier Parriego, Second classified.
A long-awaited triumph for a player who was ranked 232nd in the world rankings and currently occupies 1350. And a victory that comes 1037 after his last day of glory, when he lifted the trophy of the Balearic Cup on December 10, 2017. By the way, that victory was achieved just ahead of the Danish Rasmus Højgaard, winner this year of two tournaments on the European Tour. There is the data.
The Rasputin machine
It has rained a lot since then and a lot has happened in the life of this young golfer from the Country Club. As many as a round trip (two years) to the United States, to Texas Christian University. An experience that was not entirely fruitful and from which he drew good conclusions. Also a change in swing, a sudden change in swing that is now beginning to bear fruit.
Raspu explains the reasons why he has decided to leave the United States
But Raspu it’s back. And the only thing this tournament confirms is that things are doing very, very well. Two weeks ago, without going very far, he already won the absolute Individual Championship of the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid. We did not realize that victory because the tournament was two days long and it did not score for the WAGR.
This interview is a must to get an idea of how hard you have worked to lift a trophy again.
