Ryan Van Velzen is the latest winner on the Road to Mallorca after an entertaining week in Andalucia at the Challenge de Espana. As the Road to Mallorca takes shape, the HotelPlanner Tour arrives in Switzerland for the Swiss Challenge. Here are three players to look out at Golf Sempach…
Form Horse: Matteo Cristoni
Italian Matteo Cristoni is fresh off the back of his highest HotelPlanner Tour finish at last week’s Challenge de España where he finished in a tie for seventh at Isla Canela Links, carding rounds of 67-67-66-72. The 23-year-old is yet to miss a cut in his first five starts on the 2026 Road to Mallorca in his rookie season on tour, with his worst finish coming at the Challenge de Catalunya where he finished in a tie for 43rd.
Cristoni only turned professional in July 2025 and finished first at Stage one of DP World Tour Qualifying School in Austria last year after carding a final round of 63 and will be looking to find his first win this week.
Local boy: Jeremy Freiburghaus
Switzerland’s Jeremy Freiburghaus is eyeing a second HotelPlanner Tour title when he tees it up this week at Golf Sempach. The home favourite was victorious at the English Trophy presented by Rocket Yard Sports Marketing in 2022; with two other second place finishes that year earning him a DP World Tour card for the following season.
The Swiss knows what a win on home soil could do for his chances of promotion this year, especially after two missed cuts in his first three starts this season.
Outsider: Callum Fyfe
Despite a positive start to the season, Scotland’s Calum Fyfe is this week’s outsider. The 29-year-old is yet to secure a maiden HotelPlanner Tour title, despite six top ten finishes in the last three seasons. Fyfe finished tied third at the Jonsson Workwear Durban Open back in February and backed that up with a tied fourth finish at the Italian Challenge Open. His positive start to the European Swing was backed up at the Challenge de Catalunya where he finished in fourteenth at 16 under par for the week, although he missed the cut at the Danish Golf Challenge two weeks ago.
