The Spanish women's team secured victory on the final day of the Real Club de Golf Sotogrande Cup thanks to an outstanding performance by Carlota Ciganda from Navarre, who also won the individual competition. The Spanish men's team was unable to maintain their upward trajectory from previous days and finished in sixth place.

Carlota Ciganda, well supported by Adriana Zwanck from Madrid and Ane Urchegui from the National School in San Sebastián, achieved a clear victory -17 strokes ahead- over the Welsh team, whose best golfer was Sahra Hassan.

In the women's individual event, Carlota Ciganda's strong performance was rewarded with a thrilling victory over Sweden's Caroline Hedwall, one of her regular rivals in top-level competitions. They were tied going into the final round, and the Spaniard secured the win with a score of 70.

The Spanish men's team, made up of Moisés Cobo from Seville, Pedro Oriol from Madrid, Jordi García Pinto from Girona and Borja Etchart from Biscay, was not as successful on the final day as in the two immediately preceding ones, which took them away from the top spots and led them to sixth place.

Moisés Cobo, who had glimpsed a real possibility of winning on the final day, needed a round below 70 strokes to catch Irishman Shane Lowry, but he did not achieve his goal and had to settle for third place.
