French junior golfer Eliot Lissague won the National Juniors Tour IV event played from 23 to 25 October 2026 at Golf de l’Océan in Agadir, Morocco, with a three-round total of 221 strokes (+5). The result appears in the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) event records, while his home club, Golf d’Hossegor, published its account of the win on 30 October.

Three rounds, with the best score saved for last

Lissague opened with a 75 (+3), improved to 74 (+2) in round two and signed for an even-par 72 in the final round. That progression produced 221 strokes over 54 holes, five over par. It was a victory built on improving scores across three days rather than a single unusually low round.

Golf d’Hossegor reported that competitors faced firm greens and coastal wind in Agadir. The French club described the win as a step that brought Lissague onto the world amateur ranking. The WAGR men's event listing identifies him as French, while registering the competition under Morocco. That is a significant distinction: this was a Moroccan-hosted junior event won by a French player, not a win for the Moroccan national team.

A national junior circuit with an international result

The event belongs to the National Juniors Tour, organised by the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation (Fédération Royale Marocaine de Golf, FRMG). The federation's official calendar confirms the 23–25 October dates and Golf de l’Océan, Agadir as the venue for the fourth event of its 2026 junior schedule.

The wider circuit offers competitive opportunities to girls and boys across several age divisions, from younger children through older juniors. The playing conditions and formats are adapted to age groups. Consequently, Lissague's 54-hole score should not be treated as a universal result across every junior division or mixed with scores from shortened junior competitions.

World Amateur Golf Ranking also lists NATIONAL JUNIORS TOUR IV as a junior event in Morocco on those dates, with Lissague named as the winner. Taken together, the federation's calendar, the international event record and the player's club account establish the venue, the outcome and the individual scorecards.

Why the result matters beyond the trophy

Morocco's golf calendar is not limited to major professional events. A recurring junior tour gives developing players meaningful rounds against competitive fields and provides established venues with experience of hosting organised youth competitions. The Agadir result illustrates another dimension: a Moroccan national-stage event can attract overseas players and produce a result recognised in the international amateur ranking system.

The verified result is first place for Eliot Lissague in the WAGR-listed competition, with 221 strokes (+5). It should not be presented as a sweep of all the tournament's age-group titles. For the host federation, the broader value is the continuity of a junior tournament circuit that connects club competition with the international amateur game.
