The Spanish team (+33 overall) has failed to contend for medals at the 2024 European Under-18 Men's Team Championship, the Jean-Louis Dupont Trophy. Unable to recover from their lackluster start, they finished in twelfth place, leaving them to fight for ninth place and the best chance of a medal at the Diamond Golf Club in Austria.
Spain carded a round thirteen strokes better than the first round on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough. Bruno Marqués' 72 (par), Jan Farré's 73 (+1), and Curro Marchante's 74 (+2) helped Spain climb three places.
Thus, Spain faces Norway this Thursday in its first match to move closer to its new objective, ninth position.
Gray start in Austria
The championship began on Tuesday with discouraging news for the Spanish team, which still had a second chance to try and get into the Top 8. The team was in fifteenth place with +23 at the end of a demanding day in which only thirteen rounds under par were seen.
Among the Spanish players, the best scores were Jan Farré's +3 and Bruno Marqués and Curro Martínez's +4. Jorge Hao and Raúl Gómez's +6 scores were the other two that counted.
