Full results

The Spanish trio couldn't close the gap on the top four teams in the final round, as only Anna Cañadó managed to break par (70, -2) with four birdies. Balma Dávalos completed the Spanish tally with her worst score of the week, a hard-fought 74 (+2); the Valencian golfer started with two bogeys and a double bogey on the first six holes. Cloe Amión finished the day with an 81 (+9).

The victory went to the United States trio (-27), the undisputed dominators, led by Jasmine Koo (-16), the best in the individual competition. Balma Dávalos, seventh with -3, was the best of the Spanish players.

It is important to remember that the tournament was reduced to 54 holes due to the heavy rains recorded in central Japan, which were responsible for the tournament starting a day later than initially planned.

Dávalos and Cañadó led Spain in the opening match

Spain began its journey at the World Junior Team Championship with a smile, thanks to Balma Dávalos and Anna Cañadó. With rounds of 70 (-2), both proved to be pillars of the Spanish team. At the end of that first day, Spain, whose discarded round was Cloe Amión's +3, was fifth with a total of -4, six strokes behind the trios of Mexico and Japan.

After the second round, Spain maintained its fifth-place position thanks primarily to Balma Dávalos's 69 (-3), which propelled the team forward. With four birdies, the golfer from the Levante region solidified her position as one of the best in the competition. On this second day, Anna Cañadó and Cloe Amión both shot 75.
