Nicolai von Dellingshausen surprises with his first title in Henndorf!

On June 1, 2025, the Austrian Alpine Open took place in Henndorf am Wallersee, where the German golfer Nicolai von Dellingshausen won his first title on the DP World Tour. With a total score of 19 under par, he secured victory and was two strokes ahead of his pursuers Marcel Schneider and Kristoffer Reitan. The mood among the more than 15,000 spectators was exuberant and the organizers drew a positive conclusion despite difficult weather conditions.

Von Dellingshausen, who was one shot behind the leader on the final day, developed an impressive run and achieved a birdie-eagle-birdie series from the eighth hole. After ten holes played he was already leading by three shots. Although he overcame some challenges on the final nine holes, he finished the tournament with solid pars. For his victory he received a payment of 467,500 dollars, which is around 412,000 euros. In his emotional speech, von Dellingshausen spoke about the difficulties of the last two and a half years, during which he lost his tour card, among other things, and thanked the fans for their support.

Austrian players in action

The best Austrian of the tournament was Maximilian Steinlechner, who secured 22nd place with a score of 7 under par. Steinlechner ended the final day with a round of 72 and slipped back from 7th place. Despite this devaluation, he was happy about his largest prize money to date of almost 26,000 euros. Bernd Wiesberger, another prominent Austrian, finished the tournament at 2 under par and placed 51st. Matthias Schwab, on the other hand, had a difficult day and played his worst round with 75 strokes, which put him in 64th place at 5 over par.

Organizer Edwin Weindorfer expressed the hope of bringing Sepp Straka to Kitzbühel for the upcoming event. The holding of the tournament was considered a success in terms of the quality of play and spectator engagement. Despite the challenges presented by weather and course conditions, the players showed a remarkable performance and provided exciting golfing moments.

In summary, it can be said that the Austrian Alpine Open was an impressive event not only for Nicolai von Dellingshausen, but also for Austrian players like Maximilian Steinlechner, which will certainly go down in golf's history books. Further details can be found on Salzburg24 and RTE be read.
