. Clara Moyano from Madrid, who finished second with 68 strokes, stands out as the best Spanish player at the start of the competition at Gambito Golf Club Calatayud.
. German Hanna Karg, along with Austrian Johanna Ebner and Czech Patricie Mackova, share second place in the standings with Clara Moyano.
The Iberdrola Calatayud Ladies Open, a professional women's tournament within the LET Access Series circuit, which brings together the best players of this Circuit at the Gambito Golf Calatayud course in Calatayud, has acquired a noticeable German accent broken by the exciting emergence of the Spanish Clara Moyano, who is threatening the lead from second place after the first 18 holes of competition.
Three of the top four ranked players are native German speakers—the Germans Hanna Tauber and Hanna Karg, along with the Austrian Johanna Ebner—while the fourth, the Czech Patricie Mackova, has some knowledge of it. Adding to this linguistic dominance is the presence of Clara Moyano, author of a promising start.
They all dominated with an iron fist a spectacular first day where successes were the common note of a large group of players, who soon reflected the quality of their game on the field.
The best of them all, the German Hanna Tauber, with 67 strokes, a golfer orphaned of victories in the LETAS who longs to maintain her high rate of success to win what would be her first title as a professional.
The German player finished at the clubhouse with an outstanding 5-under-par scorecard, highlighted by two almost consecutive eagles on holes 10 and 12, an impressive run of successes maintained afterward with two more birdies on holes 13 and 14 that consolidated her lead.
None of her rivals could imitate such accuracy, although four of them, her compatriot Hanna Karg, the Austrian Johanna Ebner, the Czech Patricie Mackova and the Spaniard Clara Moyano, with rounds of 68 strokes, were left, by one stroke, just a breath away, demonstrating the predictable equality and the ability to generate spectacle in a tournament where many are playing, in addition to the victory, for a place among the top 7 in the LETAS Ranking, which gives direct access to play the Ladies European Tour in 2026.
Of all of them, special mention goes to Patricie Mackova, who won the Lavaux Ladies Open in mid-September, her first victory as a professional. The Czech player also holds fourth position in the LETAS Ranking, a testament to the strength of her game.
Among the Spanish players in the tournament, the most inspired was Clara Moyano, with a remarkable round of 68 strokes, free of errors. Four well-placed birdies throughout her round put her among the top players in the overall standings.
Close behind, tied for sixth place with 69 strokes, are Marina Escobar from Almería and María Herráez from Madrid. The Andalusian, another of the many players dreaming of her first professional victory, could have replicated leader Hanna Tauber's sensational start were it not for an untimely double bogey on the 18th hole, an excessive penalty for a sensational round with a spectacular start that included four birdies in the first five holes.
María Herráez, for her part, reached the same destination but by a slightly different route, in her case with good successes, especially a spectacular eagle on the 12th hole that compensated for the only mistake in her round, an untimely double bogey on the 5th that does not prevent her from being considered a candidate for the final victory in this Iberdrola Calatayud Ladies Open that has started speaking German.
An experience for all audiences
Apart from the tournament, as a final touch, the Gambito Experience stands out, which will once again emphasize camaraderie and gastronomy, with proposals open to members, visitors and companions, consolidating the event as a social event beyond the sporting sphere.
