Swedish golfer Viveca Hoff concluded her time at Golf Park Mallorca by winning the Spanish International Senior Women's Individual Championship, in a close match against Italian Marina Buscaini. Just two days earlier, the Nordic golfer missed the opportunity to win the Doubles title alongside her compatriot Birgitta Ljung.

Viveca Hoff managed to maintain the lead she had gained the day before with a second round of 79 strokes (8 over par), while the Italian player was unable to seize the lead after finishing her round with 77 strokes (6 over par).

The Swede made a statement on the first day, handing in a score of 74 strokes (3 over par) on a day marked by bad weather conditions: cold, wind and a constant threat of rain.

Regarding the Spanish contingent, the best news came from Catalina Castillejo and Vicky Pertierra – winner in 1999 and 2001 – who were still in contention for the title at the start of the day. Both finished with a modest round of 82 strokes (11 over par).

The Spanish International Senior Women's Doubles Championship was held on February 12th and 13th at the Balearic golf course, where Spaniards Vicky Pertierra and Marta Estany emerged victorious. The two golfers denied Viveca Hoff and her compatriot Birgitta Ljung the win, retaining the title they had won the previous year in Bonalba.
