Barcelona native Camilla Hedberg will attempt to defend her title at the Spanish International Junior Women's Championship, held this year at La Cala Resort golf course in Málaga from May 5th to 9th. The Catalan golfer will compete against 60 other players, some of whom have traveled from France, Finland, Portugal, and the Czech Republic.

The Spanish representation, by far the largest, is headed, according to the playing handicap, by Anna Arrese from Barcelona – the current absolute Spanish champion, with a handicap of -2.6 –, Noemí Jiménez from Malaga (-2.3) and the aforementioned Camilla Hedberg (-2.1).

This trio, along with many other top-level Spanish players – ten of whom come with a negative handicap, a testament to their quality – will find opposition in the foreign representation, among which the Frenchwoman Manon Gidali (handicap -2.2) stands out.

The competition system establishes five days, the first two, played under the Stroke Play modality, to determine a cut in the 32nd place and ties, then proceeding to hold different elimination rounds (1/32, 1/16, 1/8, etc.) until reaching the final.

In the 2009 edition of the Spanish Junior Women's International Championship, the victory went to Camilla Hedberg after defeating her countrywoman Beatriz Serra 3/2 in Montanyá (Barcelona) in a final that she dominated almost entirely.
