Jenson Evans makes history in Italy
This Sunday, June 17th 2025, the third tournament of the season — the ITALY LDET Championship — was held at the stunning Antognolla Golf course. The young 18-year-old Jenson Evans (ENG), claimed his first professional victory, defeating fellow Englishman Luke Curtis in a thrilling final by a narrow 2-1 set margin (409/410/401 vs. 416/381/0). Every set was a battle, every shot a statement — and Evans delivered when it mattered most.
Brad Pearmain secured third place after defeating the electrifying Belgian player Tanguy Marionex.
It was an intense and emotional day under extreme heat, with temperatures nearing 40 degrees Celsius and a spectacular grid that added to the drama.
At just 18 years old, Evans etches his name into the record books as the youngest champion in the history of the LDET Tour. A star is born on Italian soil.
