The Senior Amateur Championship, one of the most important events on the senior amateur calendar of the season, has closed this year's edition with victories for Englishman John Kennedy, in the men's category, and American Kathy Hartwiger, in the women's category.

As for the Spanish representation, Jacobo Cestino in the men's category and Macarena Campomanes in the women's category, finished in fifteenth and eighteenth place respectively, after four days of competition with the best golfers in the category.

The last day at Walton Heath course in London was very different for the two Spanish representatives in the competition, as the Andalusian player delivered his best card of the tournament with 71 strokes (-1) and climbed to fifteenth place, while the Madrid player did not find her best game and an unusual card of 88 strokes (+14) relegated her to eighteenth place.

Promising debut from the Spanish trio

The Senior Amateur Championship began with the first round, after which Macarena Campomanes and Natalia Martínez-Reboredo shared sixteenth position, after both handed in cards of 78 strokes (+4).

In the case of the Madrid native, she completed her round with five bogeys and one birdie, while the Galician player delivered one bogey and one more birdie.

The standings left Canadian Shelly Stouffer and Irish Tracy Eakin sharing the lead, after both were the only golfers to beat the London course with identical scores of 73 strokes (-1).

As for the men's category, Jacobo Cestino got off to a good start by handing in a card of 73 strokes (+1), after a round in which he scored six bogeys, three birdies and an eagle on the 16th hole.

Despite this promising start, the Andalusian player finished in 35th place due to the spectacular results achieved by the golfers at the top of the leaderboard, especially the leader, American Bob Royak, who finished with a score of 67 strokes (-5).

Macarena Campomanes takes a step forward on the second day

The Senior Amateur Championship completed its second day in England with a clear protagonist on the Spanish side: Macarena Campomanes.

The Madrid player signed a card of 74 strokes, at even par for the course, which helped her to climb to seventh position shared with two other players.

The decorated golfer completed these second 18 holes with two bogeys and two birdies, leaving her with a total of 152 strokes (+4), five behind Ireland's Tracy Eakin, who has taken the lead alone in the competition.

The joy in the Spanish ranks was not complete, as Natalia Martínez-Reboredo failed to keep up with her teammate and signed a second round of 83 strokes (+9), for a total of 161 strokes (+13), which made her miss the cut.

As for the men's category, the only Spaniard in competition, Jacobo Cestino, recovered eleven places in the classification after handing in a card of 72 strokes, at even par for the course, and a total of 145 strokes (+1).

The Andalusian player signed four birdies and four bogeys, improving his first-day score, but was nine strokes behind the new leader, Englishman John Kennedy, who delivered a great round of 66 strokes (-6).

Macarena Campomanes continued her upward trajectory on the third day

The Senior Amateur Championship completed its third day, highlighting the reliability of a player like Macarena Campomanes.

The Madrid player signed a card of 76 strokes (+2), which, despite everything, was enough to gain a place in the ranking and share sixth place with two other players.

Macarena Campomanes signed two birdies, a bogey and a double bogey between holes 2 and 5, and finished with another bogey on the last hole of her round, for a total of 228 strokes (+6), and was nine strokes behind the new leader, American Kathy Hartwiger.

As for the men's category, Jacobo Cestino took a step back by handing in a card of 73 strokes (+1), as this result took him to 27th position, with a total of 218 strokes (+2) and far from the leader, the Englishman John Kennedy.
