The Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro has achieved its tenth victory in the Spanish Women's Interclub Championship, which held its 2010 edition at the Alicante Golf course. The performance of Macarena Campomanes, the top individual golfer, proved decisive in the victory for the Madrid trio.
Puerta de Hierro dominated the competition from the first day, although on the second day Terramar managed to equal Macarena Campomanes, María Orueta and Catalina Castillejo with a prodigious performance by Andrea Jonama (70 strokes).
On the third and decisive day, with Madrid and Barcelona tied, María Orueta's 73 strokes and Macarena Campomanes' 74 for 147 gave the victory to their team; Terramar could not go below 151 and Costa de Azahar could only aspire to a commendable third place.
The individual standings also clearly demonstrate Puerta de Hierro's strong performance: Macarena Campomanes (219 strokes) was the best, and María Orueta (221) was third, tied with Terramar's young player Camilla Hedberg. Ane Urchegui (220), from Basozábal, was second.
The Madrid team, which takes over the title from the Real Club de Golf de San Sebastián in the record books of this tournament that has been held since 1976, has achieved its tenth title in Alicante after those obtained in 1976, 1977, 1979, 1982, 1989, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2008.
