Spain staged a historic comeback against France in the grand final of the European Women's Team Championship held at the French golf course of Chantilly, to win their seventh title in this important competition.
The Spanish team, made up of one of the most vibrant and fruitful generations of players in recent times, brought out that indomitable character and that inexhaustible fighting spirit that has led its members to adorn their record, and that of Spanish golf as a whole, with another victory of enormous significance.
Under the captaincy of Covadonga Basagoiti and the technical advice of coach Sergio de Céspedes - along with the contribution of physiotherapist Álvaro Zerolo - Paula Martín, Andrea Revuelta, Carolina López-Chacarra, Cayetana Fernández, Paula de Francisco and Rocío Tejedo have formed a team that has passed with flying colors all phases of the competition before defeating France in the grand final, by 4.5 to 2.5, in a vibrant, spectacular and exciting duel that will go down in history.
However, the journey to glory was fraught with difficulties. The Spanish outlook took a sharp turn after the two doubles matches, both of which were won by France. The first of these featured Paula Martín and Paula de Francisco, who had performed so well in the previous rounds.
However, their usual success was not enough against the push of the French players Constance Fouillet and Valentine Delon, who controlled the duel for much of its development before obtaining the victory by 3/2.
Even more painful was the defeat of Andrea Revuelta and Carolina López-Chacarra against Sara Brentcheneff and Camille Min-Gaultier, an intense and very long confrontation that could have gone either way but ended up in French hands when their representatives delivered the final blow on the 21st hole.
Down 0-2, the Spanish team had to pull off a remarkable feat in the five individual matches, needing at least four wins. And that's exactly what every member of the Spanish team did, gradually shaping a historic comeback, forged together, one by one, in a cascade of effort.
First it was Cayetana Fernández who secured the first point for Spain by winning her match 4/2 on the 16th hole, almost at the same time as Paula Martín and Carolina López-Chacarra did the same by 2/1 and another 4/2, respectively.
Greater equality, greater excitement and uncertainty, therefore, were experienced in the duels starring Paula de Francisco and Andrea Revuelta, the last two vital confrontations that came to be dominated by the Spanish women after the halfway point of the race.
In any case, it remained to finish the job, to complete it at least with one more victory, an objective fulfilled in spades and with enormous brilliance thanks to the irresistible drive of the Spanish golfers, in this case Paula de Francisco and Andrea Revuelta, who finished 3/2 and a tie was awarded when the Madrid native was ahead of Valentine Delon by 3 holes, the final point of a spectacular comeback materialized on the basis of quality, work and effort and which is already part of the most beautiful pages of the history of Spanish golf.
