Jorge Campillo from Extremadura and Emma Cabrera from the Canary Islands have won the 109th edition of the Biarritz Cup in their respective categories, thus increasing the number of Spanish victories in a tournament that has traditionally favored Spanish interests.

The player from Cáceres has taken over from Pedro Oriol from Madrid in the history of the event after an intense duel that was resolved in favor of the former in an unexpected way, since he was five strokes behind at the end of the first nine holes of his competitor.

Pedro Oriol started the competition in the lead, with a round of 63 strokes that clearly demonstrated the excellent form he had already shown in his recent appearances in the United States, where he has completed his first season. However, the progress of Frenchman Xavier Poncelet, Andrés Cuenca from Malaga, and Jorge Campillo himself challenged his status as favorite until he faltered on a lackluster final few holes.

Emma Cabrera, meanwhile, faced her final 18 holes with a four-stroke lead over France's Caroline Afonso and a five-stroke lead over her compatriot Morgane Bazin de Jessey. After two opening rounds of 69 and a third of 67, the golfer from the Canary Islands finished the job with a 73, enough to secure her victory. Emma Cabrera thus capped off an outstanding week that began with winning the European Ladies' Team Championship in Italy. Furthermore, Basque golfers Ane Urchegui and Amaia Salaverría also had a remarkable competition, making the cut and sharing sixth place.

This clean sweep repeats the feat achieved in 2005 by Álvaro Velasco and Tania Elósegui, continuing the tradition in a competition that typically favors Spanish players. Similarly, in 2001, our representatives achieved the same result thanks to Madrid natives Gonzalo Fernández Castaño and Lucía Mar. Furthermore, Francisco Cea (1994), Álvaro Salto (1995 and 1996), and Juan Carlos Agüero (1997) in the men's category, and María del Carmen Florán (1989), Laura Navarro (1993), and Sara Beautell (1998) in the women's, have also won in Biarritz.
