In the Under 16 category, the day began with Amanda Revuelta and Adriana García Terol one and three strokes behind the leader, but both the Madrid native and the Catalan player were unable to close the gap, failing to beat the course on this occasion.

Amanda Revuelta finished with a score of 75 strokes (+2), for a total of 219 strokes, at even par, while Adriana García Terol improved on her compatriot's score by one stroke, 74 strokes (+1), but it was also insufficient to reach the top positions and she had to settle for sixth place.

The other Spanish player in the competition, Liz Hao, was unable to continue her upward streak and a card of 75 strokes (+3), for a total of 226 strokes (+7), has relegated her to fourteenth place.

The final victory went to the Italian Guia Vittoria Acuttis, after delivering a final round of 71 strokes (-2) for a total of 215 strokes (-4).

In the other category in competition, the Under 14, Icíar Rodríguez has gone from less to more and has achieved a hard-fought third place, given that the leader, the Frenchwoman Margaux Poissonnier, has confirmed a victory that she had practically assured after the second round.

The golfer from La Dehesa Golf Club has signed a final round of 73 strokes, at even par for the course, her best result in the tournament, and with a total of 229 strokes (+10), she has achieved a competitive third position, since although she has been one stroke away from second place, she has also been one stroke away from being caught by the fourth-ranked player.

Adriana García Terol, the best Spanish player at the start of the tournament

The England International Under 16 and Under 14 Women's tournament kicked off at Tandridge Golf Club with the first day of competition, in which Adriana García Terol was the best Spanish player.

The reigning Under 16 tournament champion finished in fourth position, after signing a card of 71 strokes (-2), and was three strokes behind the leader, Italian Guia Vittoria Acutis, who delivered 68 strokes (-5).

As for the other two Spanish players present in the Under 16 tournament, it was a mixed bag, as Amanda Revuelta finished in the top part of the table, specifically in seventh place, with a card of 73 strokes, at even par, while Liz Hao finished in 34th place, with a round of 79 strokes (+6).

Regarding the Under 14 tournament, the two Spanish representatives had a shaky start, as Icíar Rodríguez finished the day with 81 strokes (+8) and occupied the fourteenth place, while Isabel Ping signed a card of 82 strokes (+9) to place in 22nd position.

Frenchwoman Margaux Poissonnier was the only player in this category who was able to beat the course, with a card of 70 strokes (-3), and took first place with a five-stroke lead.

Amanda Revuelta and Icíar Rodríguez, Spain's best options after the second round

The second day of the England Under 16 and Under 14 Women's International tournament brought significant changes to the standings in both categories.

In the Under 16 category, Amanda Revuelta became the highest-placed Spaniard, taking fourth position with a score of 71 strokes (-2), for a total of 144 strokes (-2), just one stroke behind the leader, occupied by the Englishwomen Eva Myers and Lauren Crump.

A little further down the overall standings, specifically in eighth place, was the defending champion, Adriana García Terol, after a less than stellar day, carding a 75 (+2) for a total of 146, even par. Despite this, the Catalan golfer remained just three strokes behind the leaders.

The third Spanish golfer in the category, Liz Hao, also improved compared to the first day, thanks to a card of 72 strokes (-1), which allowed her to climb to thirteenth place, with a total of 151 strokes (+5).

As for the Under 14 category, Icíar Rodríguez also had a good day, as she climbed to fourth position thanks to a score of 75 strokes (+3) and a total of 156 strokes (+10).

The overall standings in this category continued to be dominated with an iron fist by the Frenchwoman Margaux Poissonnier, who increased her lead to ten strokes, but the Madrid player faced the challenge of getting on the podium, as she was only one stroke behind.

The other side of the coin for Spanish interests on this day was represented by Isabel Ping from the Canary Islands, who failed to make the cut in the Under 14 category.

Successful precedents of Spanish golf

Following the conclusion of this new edition of the England International Under 16 and Under 14 tournament, Adriana García Terol will remain the only Spanish winner in the tournament along with Cayetana Fernández.

Last year, the player from Sant Cugat Golf Club took the victory with rounds of 71, 71 and 75 strokes for a total of 217 strokes (-2), being the only participant who defeated the Shifnal Golf Club course, located north of Birmingham (England).

At this same England Under 14 International, Cayetana Fernández achieved her first major international success, in her case in 2019. This sole successful precedent for Spanish golf in the competition took place at the Gerrard Cross Golf Club course.
