Carolina Pérez-Tasso from Catalonia has convincingly and authoritatively won one of the major tournaments on the women's calendar, the Spanish Under 18 Championship, which counts towards the World Ranking and the National Women's Under 18 and Cadet Rankings, held on the South course of the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina (San Pedro de Alcántara, Málaga).

Carolina Pérez-Tasso has achieved her most resounding victory yet, executing a remarkably consistent week, as evidenced by her rounds of 70, 70, 68, and 74 strokes for a total of -6. No one else finished the tournament under par. She edged out Nagore Martínez by six strokes and even managed to avoid trouble on the always challenging final day.

Martina Navarro from Valencia and Adriana García Terol from Barcelona - who was aiming for the triple crown after winning the Spanish Under 16 and Absolute Championships in 2025 - have finished the week tied for third place with +1.

Nagore struck first, Carolina followed

Nagore Martínez was the first to make her intentions clear in Guadalmina: she did so on Thursday with a card of 67 strokes (-5) in the first round of a competition that gave her a three-stroke advantage over Carolina Pérez-Tasso, Ángela Revuelta, Martina Navarro and Clara Valls, who shared second place with 70 strokes.

However, Carolina Pérez-Tasso counterattacked in the second round, carding another 70 strokes which, combined with Nagore Martínez's lackluster performance (76), allowed her to take the lead. Meanwhile, Cristina García climbed the standings and closed in on the leading duo.

On the third day, Carolina Pérez-Tasso delivered a decisive blow with her best round of the tournament, a 68 (-4). This result, the product of four birdies, an eagle, and two bogeys, gave her a comfortable six-stroke lead over Nagore Martínez, who was practically left as the only challenger to her compatriot, along with Amanda Revuelta, in third place.

Seventh edition as an independent tournament

This Spanish Under-18 Women's Championship has been held for the seventh time as a separate tournament from the National Championship. The first edition took place at the Font del Llop Golf Resort (Alicante) in 2019 – the 2020 edition was cancelled due to the pandemic – and was won by Natalia Aseguinolaza from Gipuzkoa, who prevailed in a thrilling head-to-head battle with Marina Escobar from Almería. The second edition, in 2021, was won by Andrea Revuelta at Sherry Golf (Cádiz) in a hard-fought contest with Paula Martín.

In the third edition, the winner was Anna Cañadó from Tarragona, who defeated Andrea Revuelta in a playoff at the Villa de Madrid Country Club. In the following two editions, Cloe Amión emerged victorious, finishing seven strokes ahead of Rocío Tejedo in 2023 and winning a close match against Balma Dávalos in 2024. Last year, Lucía Iraola claimed the title in one of the most thrilling finishes in recent memory. A brilliant birdie secured her what remains her most significant individual victory to date.

In previous editions, the following women had been proclaimed champions of the category: Elena Arias (2018), Paula Neira (2017), Paz Marfá (2016), María Parra (2015), Alejandra Pasarín (2014), Ainhoa Olarra (2013), Nuria Iturrios (2012), Camilla Hedberg (2011) or Natalia Escuriola (2010).
