María de Orueta and María Castillo are the winners of the 2025 Spanish International Women's Senior Doubles Championship, the tournament that kicked off the week of golf at the Infinitum Golf Lakes course (Vila-seca, Tarragona). This title, won on the first playoff hole, is the fourth for the Madrid native and the third for the Canary Islander.
Despite their winning record, De Orueta and Castillo had never won together. Until today, which began with the Spaniards in the lead alongside Italians Camilla Tolomei and Isabella Colagero, and Frenchwomen Jordane Court and Anne Macher, thanks to their magnificent rounds of 68 strokes in Tuesday's fourball.
On the second day, played in the Foursome format, María de Orueta and María Castillo carded a 76 to put the other two pairs ahead of them. However, waiting in the clubhouse were Americans Gigi Higgins and Tara Connelly, who posted the best score of the day (74). With both teams finishing at 144 strokes, a playoff was set.
In this situation, the American pair ran into trouble – finding themselves in the bunker on their second shot – while the Spaniard played a textbook hole to secure another title. This is the fourth Doubles title for María de Orueta, who previously won with Xonia Wunsch (2019 and 2020) and Catalina Castillejo (2012), and the third for María Castillo, who won in 2013 and 2014 with Marta Estany.
It is also imperative to highlight the third place of Natalia Martínez-Reboredo and Mónica Jessen with 147 strokes, and the fifth place of María Trallero and Cristina Pàmies with 148.
The Individual tournament starts this Thursday.
As is tradition, once the Doubles event has been held, it is time for the Spanish Senior Individual International, in which ninety golfers participate; among them, Macarena Campomanes from Madrid, who is looking for her fifth crown after those obtained in 2015, 2019, 2021 and 2023, and María Castillo herself, winner in the 2012 and 2014 editions.
This is the tenth time the Spanish Women's Senior Individual Championship has been played over three rounds. Therefore, the Catalan course will feature 54 holes of stroke play with a cut at 60th place (and ties) at the end of the second round.
