The golfer from Cadiz, Belén Mozo, has concluded her good participation in the Ricoh Women's British Open with a round of 76 strokes (3 over par) which, although it has not allowed her to occupy privileged positions, has allowed her to qualify ahead of many of the best players on the international professional scene.

At the legendary Old Course in St Andrews, Scotland, the Andalusian golfer - who was attending this prestigious tournament because of her achievements in 2006, when she won the Ladies British Amateur - was the only Spanish golfer to make the cut at the end of the second day.

At that point, Belén Mozo was in nineteenth place after a phenomenal round of 72 (1 under par), establishing herself as one of the sensations of the competition. Her next two rounds were of a lower standard, although this shouldn't diminish the achievements of one of the best amateur players at St. Andrews. In this final round, the player from Cádiz failed to make a single birdie and was hampered by the two bogeys she made on the first four holes.

Finally, Belén Mozo finished in fifty-fifth place, 18 strokes behind the brilliant winner, Mexican Lorena Ochoa, who completed an excellent race, dominating her rivals from the first round.

The other Spanish representatives in this Ricoh Women's British Open, Paula Martí from Catalonia, Carlota Ciganda and Beatriz Recari from Navarre, and Tania Elósegui from San Sebastián, had a less impressive run in the tournament, as none of them managed to make the cut.
