The 2025 Ladies European Individual Championship has added another chapter to the history of Spanish women's golf, a sport that has brought us so much joy in recent years. Paula Martín (-23 overall) took the title, yet another in this wonderful year, after a thrilling finish over Balma Dávalos (-22) and Andrea Revuelta (-21), who were awarded the silver and bronze medals, respectively.

This feat has a precedent, also achieved by three of our own: Carlota Ciganda, Elisa Serramiá, and María Hernández, who swept the top three spots in 2004. It was considered very difficult to replicate such a feat, and yet three players have done so, completing a superb week that reached its climax on the final hole, where Paula Martín and Balma Dávalos were tied at -22. There, on the 18th, the player from Castellón could only manage par, hampered by a ball that landed on the edge of a bunker, while the player from Madrid secured a textbook birdie to reach the pin for the second time in two months; let's remember that she already did so at the Women's Amateur Championship.

To understand this head-to-head battle between Paula and Balma, we have to go back to early this morning, when both played the final three holes of their third round. They did so with the two best scores of the tournament, both 63 strokes (-10!). That result gave Balma the advantage, but with a threat from three of the best golfers in Europe: Paula and Andrea themselves, and Sweden's Meja Örtengren, who ended up slipping slightly.

In the final 18 holes, Balma Dávalos did everything necessary to win a tournament like this: she finished the day at -3 without a single bogey. But against rivals like Paula Martín—who is, not surprisingly, ranked number 4 in the world—sometimes that's not enough. The Madrid native carded seven birdies, four of them in the last five holes.

Behind her, Andrea Revuelta was battling to try and join the fight for the title, but she lacked a few birdies between holes 11 and 15. However, she finished the round as usual, with three birdies. In these four days, between holes 16 and 18, she has carded eight birdies and two eagles. Almost impossible to match.

It would not be fair to leave unmentioned the magnificent week of Paula de Francisco, eleventh with -14 and four rounds under par, the comeback of Ángela Revuelta (-8), able to recover from two complicated first rounds, or the class of Anna Cañadó, evident in her first and last round.

Paula Martín emulates Belén Mozo from 2006

It's difficult to find a precedent for what happened in Germany, but there are two. On the one hand, there's the aforementioned 2004 season in which Carlota Ciganda, Elisa Serramiá, and María Hernández shared the medals; and on the other, Belén Mozo's 2006 season, in which she won the European Individual Championship and the British Championship, just as Paula has done. However, the Madrid native can also add her contribution to the European Team Championship won by Spain two weeks ago in Paris. Incredible.

With this victory, Paula Martín joins the ranks of golfers who have made history in Spanish women's golf in recent decades. These include Julia López (2023), Celia Barquín (2018), María Parra (2015), Luna Sobrón (2014), Carlota Ciganda (2004 and 2008), and Belén Mozo (2006).
