Nerea Salaverría finished second in the Belgian Junior Women's International, held at the Royal Golf Club of Belgium in Tervuren, after Italian Marianna Causin, who took the lead on the second day and held it until the end.

The Italian player finished the tournament with 290 strokes, six less than the Spanish representative, who was prevented from putting up a tougher fight against the winner of this Belgian Junior Women's International by the burden of the first day's result (78 strokes).

Not surprisingly, from that moment on, Nerea Salaverría from San Sebastián displayed her best form, with rounds of 72, 73 and 73 strokes that allowed her to climb significantly in the standings until she dethroned the Scottish Kelsey MacDonald from second place, who for three days was Marianna Causin's main rival.

Other Spanish representatives also shone brightly. This was the case for Noemí Jiménez from Málaga, who finished fifth; Elia Folch from Barcelona, who finished ninth; and Teresa Caballer from Alicante, who finished tenth. The Top 10, packed with Spanish players, highlights the strength of their game.

In the men's category, Mario Galiano and Oliver Mena were the best Spaniards, finishing sixteenth and nineteenth respectively, in a tournament won by Belgian Thomas Pieters. Both worked hard to climb the leaderboard, a challenge partially achieved during the third day, where their consistent play was rewarded with a move closer to the top positions. However, they didn't achieve better results in the final round, despite their generally positive performance.
