For another year - and it's already the seventeenth - Spanish golf is present at The Amundi Evian Juniors Cup, a leading tournament in world junior golf held at the legendary Evian Golf Resort (France), in the best conditions, with a guaranteed team made up of four young representatives from our talented youth academy.

The Spanish team is, to say the least, promising. It comprises Ángela Revuelta and Rut Díaz from Madrid, and Oliver de Wint and Martín Cervera from Andalusia. These four golfers earned a significant portion of their spots in Evian with their performances at the Spanish Junior Championship held in June at La Manga Club (Murcia).

Ángela Revuelta and Rut Díaz battled for the title in a thrilling playoff, with Revuelta emerging victorious after a spectacular round of 65. Oliver de Wint and Martín Cervera also faced off for the win, with de Wint taking the victory by a single stroke.

The team's presentation is completed with one fact: Ángela Revuelta also holds the title of Spanish Under 16 Champion and contributed to Madrid's victory in the recent Spanish Armed Forces Women's Championship in that same category.

This Spanish quartet will have the assistance at all times of captain Amparo Puig and coach Felipe Rodríguez.

The tournament hosts a total of eighteen teams from as many countries around the world, each composed of four players under the age of 15, who will compete in three rounds of 18 holes using stroke play format on the popular course in eastern France. All participants will compete both individually and as a team.

The competing countries are Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, Morocco and the United States.

Two Spanish victories in Evian

Spain is considered one of the tournament's mainstays, thanks to the excellent performance of the various teams sent since 2007, the year the event was founded. In this inaugural edition, Rocío Sánchez from Málaga won the women's category with two rounds of 70 strokes. In the team competition, the Spanish team—comprised of Javier Gallegos from Madrid, Javier Sainz from Biscay, and María Parrón from Murcia—finished second behind the Japanese team.

From that moment on, phenomenal results began to arrive, such as the team titles obtained in 2008, with Adriá Arnaus, Eder Moreno, Harang Lee and Natalia Escuriola, and in 2011 with Martín Larrea, Manuel Elvira, Covadonga Sanjuán and Alejandra Pasarín.

Furthermore, Spain's record in the event includes four silver and two bronze medals in the team competition; in the individual competition, Harang Lee, Nagore Martínez, Jaime Montojo, Álvaro Portillo, Álvaro Revuelta, Arián Rodríguez or more recently Samuel Love have won medals over the years with magnificent performances.
