And to achieve this, the first step is to finish in first place in the Stroke Play classification, as has been the case, with a 19-stroke advantage over the Andalusian team, which finished in second position.

On this occasion, the golfers who have pulled the cart for the Madrid team have been Blanca Fernández, Paula Martín and Paula de Francisco, with rounds of 68 (-4), 69 (-3) and 70 strokes (-2), respectively, for a total of 721 strokes (+1).

The pace set by the golfers from the capital was attempted by the Andalusian team, who secured second place thanks to Cristina Albertazzi's magnificent round of 66 strokes (-6), the best of the day, and Ana Pina's 71 strokes (-1), for a total of 740 strokes (+20).

The podium finish went to the Valencia team (+32), with Carla Tejedo achieving the best result, scoring 70 strokes (-2).

The remaining teams that will make up the so-called first flight and that will be the title contenders in the subsequent direct duels of the Match Play phase, have been Catalonia (+40), Basque Country (+47), Castile and León (+73), Balearic Islands (+80) and Principality of Asturias (+90).

Finally, the other eight teams that will enter the second flight of the competition have been Galicia (+103), Aragon (+106), Castilla – La Mancha (+108), Canarias (+118), Cantabria (+135), Navarra (+151), Murcia (+159) and La Rioja (+195).

Madrid leads at the start of the tournament

The Madrid team started their journey in the 2024 Spanish Championship of Autonomous Federations for Women in the best possible way, rising to the top of the standings.

The role of the Fernández sisters, Blanca and Cayetana, was crucial in Madrid (369 strokes, +9 total) finishing the day in the lead. Both carded rounds of 71 strokes (-1), a more than commendable score considering that only one other golfer, Paula Balanzategui from the Basque Country, managed to beat the course by posting the same result.

Catalonia (+13) finished second after the first day, thanks to Alexandra Vidal's 72 (even par) and Claudia Lara's 73 (+1), overtaking Andalusia (+16), where Ana Pina and Beatriz Barrios both carded 74s (+2). The Valencian Community (+19), with Rocío Tejedo's commendable even par, rounded out the provisional top four.

The remaining results for the days were: Basque Country, +26; Castile and León, +40; Balearic Islands, +48; Principality of Asturias, +49; Galicia, +53; Aragon, +58; Castile-La Mancha, +61; Canary Islands, +61; Navarre, +64; Cantabria, +73; Murcia, +73; La Rioja, +104.

The tournament, as usual, consists of a two-day qualifying phase (Stroke Play) and a second knockout phase (Match Play). In the first phase, it is imperative to qualify among the top eight to advance to the first flight, which will include the title contenders in the subsequent head-to-head matches.
