Navarrese golfer María Hernández has extended the winning streaks of both Spanish golf and her own personal streak on the United States University Circuit by winning her third tournament of the year.

The Spanish golfer, who is currently studying at Purdue University in Indiana, achieved a hard-fought victory at the Lady Buckeye Spring Invitational held at the Scarlet Course in Columbus, Ohio, where she triumphed over her university classmate Christel Boeljon. María Hernández carded a total of 215 strokes (1 under par) with rounds of 72, 70, and 73.

Maria Hernandez, a regular member of the National Teams, prevailed over a total of 87 players in the individual competition and also made a decisive contribution to Purdue University's team victory.

With this latest title, María Hernández has now reached the top of the podium three times in 2007. At the beginning of March, she won the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational in Texas, and in April, she won the Bryan National Collegiate in North Carolina. These victories join those achieved this year in the United States by Mariana Macías and Araceli Felgueroso, both from Madrid, and by Jorge Campillo from Cáceres.
