The 2025 European Individual Mid Amateur Championship has concluded at the Quinta do Peru Golf & Country Club course, near Lisbon, with a good collective performance by the Spanish representatives, both in the male and female categories.

And of the two, the best position was achieved by Irene Rollán, finishing in fifth place, five strokes behind the winner, the Irish Jessica Ross, who defeated her compatriot Aideen Walsh in a playoff after both finished with a total of 221 strokes (+5).

The Basque player has delivered a card of 76 strokes (+4) on this last day, for a total of 226 (+10), which has allowed her to maintain the position with which she started the day.

In addition to the golfer from the Real Club de Golf de San Sebastián, the other two Spanish women who made the cut, Alicia Fajardo and Norena Lueje, finished twelfth and twenty-fourth respectively.

Ignacio de Pineda nearly made the Top 10

As for the men's category, Ignacio de Pineda handed in a final card of 77 strokes (+5), which penalized him significantly, to the point of making him lose the fourth position with which he started the day and taking him to eleventh place, nine strokes behind the winner, the Austrian Christoph Kogl.

Jacobo López was the next Spaniard in the classification, finishing fifteenth; Jacobo Campos and Eduardo Martínez shared twenty-first place and behind them were Jaime Ravina (28th), Íñigo Carmona (38th) and Andrés Freire (40th).

Excellent start for the Spanish team

The 2025 European Individual Mid Amateur Championship kicked off in Portugal with positive feelings for the Spanish team. In the men's category, Ignacio de Pineda was the best with a score of 68 (-4), while in the women's category, Irene Rollán was the most outstanding of the Spanish team with a round of 75 (+3), two strokes behind the leader, Canadian Haley Yerxa.

The recent winner of the Andalusian Cup turned in a remarkable round, carding more eagles (two) than birdies (one) and, of course, bogeys (also one). This result allowed him to take a one-stroke lead over Austrian Christoph Kogl in the standings.

In addition to Ignacio de Pineda, Eduardo Martínez also stood out, sharing fifth place after a card of 72 strokes, at even par for the course, as did Jacobo Campos, fifteenth after handing in a card of 73 strokes (+1).

As for the women's competition, Irene Rollán, the current Spanish Mid Amateur champion, shared third place with four other players at the start of the tournament after delivering three bogeys and only one birdie.

Following in the footsteps of the golfer from Gipuzkoa, Alicia Fajardo has positioned herself, tenth after a round of 77 strokes (+5).

Ignacio de Pineda and Irene Rollán lost positions on the second day

The 2025 European Individual Mid Amateur Championship completed its second day with Ignacio de Pineda and Irene Rollán as the best Spanish options, even though both the Catalan and the Basque lost positions compared to the first day.

Ignacio de Pineda lost the lead and occupied fourth position shared with the Dutchman Jan Ottink, after signing a card of 75 strokes (+3), for a total of 143 strokes (-1), and the new leader, the Austrian Christoph Kogl, escaped to six strokes, with a total of 137 strokes (-7).

Like the Barcelona player, the second best Spaniard in the competition, Eduardo Martínez, also dropped positions, specifically six, after also signing a card of 75 strokes (+3) and occupied the eleventh position.

Quite the opposite for Jacobo López, who with a round of 73 strokes (+1), recovered ten places although it was only enough for him to reach nineteenth place.

The other good news for the rest of the Spanish expedition, that is, for Jacobo Campos, Íñigo Carmona, Jaime Ravina and Andrés Freire is that they managed to make the cut of the tournament by finishing among the 54 best and tied, in total, 58.

In the women's competition, Irene Rollán remained at the head of the Spanish contingent but also lost ground. She carded the same score as on the first day, 75 strokes (+3), but the better rounds of her competitors relegated her to fifth place, three strokes behind the leaders, the French pair Pauline Stein and Alexandra Farret, and the Irish player Aideen Walsh.

Behind the Basque player, Alicia Fajardo remained as the second best Spanish player, who on this day managed to climb one step in the qualifying table and shared ninth position.

This day also established the cut in the women's classification, which a total of 34 players passed, among which were, in addition of Irene Rollán and Alicia Fajardo, Norena Lueje, while Natalia Martínez-Reboredo and Vanessa Andreina Chávez did not make it.
