The 2010 Biarritz Cup has gone to French player Morgane Bazin de Jessey, who started the last day as leader and continued to do so until she took the victory thanks to the 277 strokes presented, 1 above par.

Isabel Jiménez, with 287 strokes, and Clara Baena, with 288 strokes, were the highest ranked Spanish players, in fifth and sixth position, respectively.

In the men's category things went even better for the Spanish representation since the winner of this tournament, which was held on the course of the same name in southwest France, was almost Ignacio Elvira.

The Cantabrian did everything right to win and only the tiebreaker hole prevented him from victory, which went to the Frenchman Baptiste Courtachon, with 262 strokes, 14 below par, not being able to repeat the success obtained last year by Carlos Pigem and Nerea Salaverría, champions in their respective categories.

After three days of competition, Bauptiste Courtachon led the standings with a total of 191 strokes, while Ignacio Elvira was just one stroke behind.

A regular in the national teams, the Cantabrian player, who had just helped to achieve a fourth place in the Absolute European Team Championship, starred in a very consistent tournament, demonstrating his great form.

Ignacio Elvira, who this year has been studying at Texas A&M University, signed a total of 262 strokes, with rounds of 63, 66, 63 and 70 strokes, for a total of 14 under par, tying with the French player, who snatched victory from him in the playoff at the last minute.

The next Spaniard to qualify was Carlos Pigem, the defending champion. At the start of the final round, he was in ninth place. However, a brilliant round of 66 strokes propelled him to a commendable fourth place, with a total of 267 strokes, 9 under par.

Juan Francisco Sarasti also managed to sneak into the Top 10 of the Biarritz Cup after also exhibiting a remarkable performance to sign 272 strokes, -4 in the total, which earned him 9th place.

Of the rest of the Spanish representation, the performance of Alberto Fernández stands out (276 strokes in total), which allowed him to qualify in seventeenth place thanks to an extraordinary final round of 64 strokes.

Sebastián García, with 280 strokes, finished in 27th place, and Antonio Hortal, with 281 strokes, finished in 33rd place, completing the Spanish performance. The Biarritz Cup saw its fourth Spanish one-two finish in its 110-year history in 2009, thanks to Carlos Pigem and Nerea Salaverría. Previous winners of this prestigious tournament were Jorge Campillo and Emma Cabrera in 2007; Álvaro Velasco and Tania Elósegui in 2005; and Gonzalo Fernández Castaño and Lucía Mar in 2001.
