Spanish golfers Carmen Pérez-Narbón and Araceli Felgueroso – members of the National Teams in their third and fourth years, respectively, in the United States – have added to their list of achievements across the Atlantic with victories. Pérez-Narbón won the UNCW Ladies Seehawk Classic, while Felgueroso took the Lady Jaguar Intercollegiate, both events on the 2010 U.S. Collegiate Tour.

With overwhelming superiority, Carmen Pérez-Narbón capped off an outstanding run at River Landing (North Carolina), carding a 69 in her opening round and two 73s in the following rounds. These scores gave her a nine-stroke lead over second-place Lucía Fernández. Her performance also secured the overall victory for the North Carolina team, finishing 13 strokes ahead of Pennsylvania and 16 ahead of Jacksonville.

Since arriving at the University of North Carolina, Carmen Pérez-Narbón has amassed four victories on the Collegiate Circuit. She opened her record in October 2007 with a win at the Lady Paladin Invitational; then in May 2008, she claimed the Lady Seahawk Invitational; and last year she triumphed at the Colonial Athletic Association Championship. Between her first and second victories, she secured a decisive win at the International Championship in Mexico.

The success of the player from Levante has been matched by another victory for Madrid native Araceli Felgueroso. The Coastal Carolina player, a four-time Conference South Player of the Week, won comfortably at the Lady Jaguar Intercollegiate, held in Forest Hills, Georgia.

Unlike Carmen Pérez-Narbón, the Madrid native staged a spectacular comeback on the final day to dethrone her teammate Brittany Henderson from the lead. A final-round 68 secured her first victory of 2010 and her fifth in four years in the United States. She had previously won the Unlimited Potential Classic (2006), the USF Waterlefe Invitational (2007), the USF Waterlefe Invitational (2008), and the Big South Women's Championship (2009).
