The Brampton Golf Club in Ontario is hosting another edition of the tournament, with Spain once again among the top teams. This time, the Spanish trio consists of Adriana García Terol from Barcelona—returning from last year—Marta Muñoz from Madrid, and Carlota López from Valencia. They are accompanied by Mabel Pascual del Pobil, Director of the Women's Amateur Technical Committee, as captain, and Álvaro Salto as coach.
These three golfers have achieved excellent results this season: Adriana and Carlota were instrumental in Spain's victory at the European Under-18 Team Championship in Switzerland, while Marta, weeks later, achieved one of the year's greatest individual successes for Spanish women's golf: winning the Girls' Amateur Championship, defeating Adriana García Terol in the final. A fantastic introduction to a trio with enormous potential.
Twenty-three teams from twenty-two countries are participating in the competition – Canada will have two teams – with the goal of achieving one of the most beautiful and prestigious victories of the year. The teams representing Argentina, France, New Zealand, Austria, Germany, Norway, Belgium, Hong Kong, China, the Philippines, Iceland, South Korea, Ireland, Chinese Taipei, Italy, Sweden, Colombia, Mexico, Switzerland, England, Morocco, and the United States are competing.
The competition is played with a system of play identical to that of the Absolute World Championships: four days of Stroke Play in which the two best cards of each of the teams are counted.
The triumphs of 2017 and 2022, unavoidable references
The Spanish trio who traveled to Canada for the 2017 World Junior Girls Golf Championship wrote a beautiful chapter in Spanish golf history, winning a gold medal that was a just reward for an epic comeback. Blanca Fernández, Elena Arias, and Dimana Viudes were the architects of Spain's first-ever victory.
The Spanish team—under the leadership of RFEG Sports Director Ignacio Gervás—delivered an impressive fourth round, spearheaded by inspired performances from Dimana Viudes and Blanca Fernández. On this occasion, it was Fernández who produced a remarkable score: a 69 (-3) that proved crucial in tipping the scales in the extremely tough match against the always formidable South Korea.
Five years later, history repeated itself thanks to Cayetana Fernández, Paula Martín, and Andrea Revuelta, who were flawless from start to finish. The Spanish trio finished five strokes ahead of the always powerful Swedish team.
