The third edition of the Spanish Under-16 Women's Regional Federation Championship 2024 is being held this week, from September 5th to 8th, at the Castillo de Gorraiz Golf Club (Navarra), where the seventeen participating teams have traveled. The Madrid team is defending its title, with two of last year's champions returning.
Madrid (with a cumulative playing handicap of -6.7) hopes to repeat the success of their previous tournament in Isla Canela (Huelva), and they have Amanda Revuelta and Liz Hao, two of the stars of that year's competition, on their team. Now they are joined by Almendra Campoverde and Ángela, another member of the successful Revuelta Goicoechea family.
On paper, this team's main obstacle to defending their title comes from Catalonia (-10.6). The 2022 champion arrives in Gorraiz with a strong field led by Nagore Martínez and Adriana García Terol, two golfers clearly on the rise and with experience in the tournament.
The Valencian Community (-7.9) and Castile and León (-4.9) complete the Top 4 contenders for the trophy, led by players such as África Oliva, Carlota Mínguez, and the García González sisters, Cristina and Carmen.
The other teams participating in the tournament are the representatives of Navarre (4.4), Andalusia (4.8), Basque Country (6.4), Murcia (6.4), Galicia (6.7), Cantabria (7.6), Aragon (9.8), Balearic Islands (16.8), Canary Islands (18.2), Asturias (19.8), Extremadura (26.5), La Rioja (26.9) and Castilla La Mancha (46.4).
Seventeen teams, each composed of four golfers, are taking part in a tournament that will begin with a Stroke Play qualifying round, followed by three knockout rounds. The teams that finish the first round in the top eight positions will compete for the title.
