A clear and decisive victory for the Asia-Pacific team (20-12) at the Patsy Hankins Trophy, a biennial competition held this year at Al Hamra Golf Club in the United Arab Emirates. On this third day, dedicated to individual matches, Carolina López-Chacarra capped off a strong performance in the tournament with a convincing win.

The Madrid native won the last match of the day against Sophie Han 4/2, while the other Spanish representative, Rocío Tejedo from Castellón, fell to Min-Seo Jung on the 17th hole. The partial result of this singles match was 8.5-3.5 in favor of the locals.

With this result, Asia-Pacific adds its third title - it previously won in 2016 and 2018 - while Europe only has one, from 2023.

Contribution of López-Chacarra and Tejedo in the two days of doubles

In the first two days, dedicated to doubles matches, Europe benefited from the contributions of both Spanish golfers. In Thursday's fourballs, Carolina López-Chacarra and Carolina Melgrati defeated Eila Galitsky and Vivian Lu (1 up), while Rocío Tejedo, partnered with world number one Lottie Woad, earned half a point against Min-Seo Jeong and Arianna Lau. Tejedo herself had already added another half point in the foursomes against Huai-Chien Hsu and Vivian Lu, this time alongside Francesca Fiorellini.

The second day, Friday, began with a fourball round in which Carolina López-Chacarra and Emma Kaisa Dalgaard Bunch emerged victorious against Sophie Han and Ren Yi Jia (1up). A birdie on the 18th hole earned them a point that could prove invaluable at the end of the tournament. Rocío Tejedo, meanwhile, lost to Mamika Shinchi and Aira Nagasawa (3/2) while playing with Francesca Fiorellini.

In the afternoon fourballs, the two Spanish players played together for the first time and scraped together half a valuable point on the last hole against Mamika Shinchi and Aira Nagasawa.

Europe, with a strong team in the UAE

Apart from Rocío Tejedo and Carolina López-Chacarra, the European women's team has been made up of the Danes Emma Bunch and Marie Eline Madsen, the Irish Beth Coulter and Aine Donegan, the Italians Francesca Fiorellini and Carolina Melgrati, the English Patience Rhodes and Lottie Woad and the Swedes Louise Rydqvist and Nora Sundberg.

The Patsy Hankins Trophy, now in its fourth edition, is named after a prominent New Zealand golfer, notable for her actions in support of women's golf unity.
