The 2026 Women's Senior National Grand Prix has concluded at the Real Guadalhorce Golf Club (Malaga) with the victory of Belgian Sylvie van Molle ahead of Macarena Campomanes, the defending champion.

The Finnish Minna Kaarnalahti, the tournament's first leader, completed the podium of this Women's Senior National Grand Prix after delivering a final card of 76 strokes (+4), for a total of 227 strokes (+11).
In the case of Macarena Campomanes, the best Spanish player in the tournament, she has once again demonstrated the fighting spirit that has led her to have her trophy case overflowing with trophies and she never gave up, as shown by the fact that she recovered two places in this last round with a round of 70 strokes (-2), the best of the day, and that she has achieved a more than deserved runner-up position.
Minna Kaarnalahti, the best at the start of the tournament
The 2026 Women's Senior National Grand Prix began at the Real Guadalhorce Golf Club (Malaga), with a total of forty-six players, and of all of them, the most successful was the Finnish Minna Kaarnalahti.
The Nordic golfer, licensed by the Royal Andalusian Golf Federation, handed in a card of 73 strokes (+1), after signing five birdies, four bogeys and a double bogey.
Macarena Campomanes was very close to the lead, after finishing two strokes behind Minna Kaarnalahti, while the third provisional position was shared by Soledad Fernández Araoz and Sylvie van Molle, both with scores of 76 strokes (+4).
Sylvie van Molle, leader after the second round
The 2026 Women's Senior National Grand Prix completed its second day with a change in the top spot in the standings, which was taken over by Belgian Sylvie van Molle.
The player from the Zarapicos Golf Club handed in a card of 71 strokes (-1), to climb two places and take the lead in the standings with a total of 147 strokes (+3).
Another player of the day was Covadonga Basagoiti, who signed the best card of the day with 69 strokes (-3), a result that allowed her to climb eight places in the standings and be three strokes behind the leader.
The third provisional position went to Minna Kaarnalahti, with a total of 151 strokes (+7) and in fourth place was Macarena Campomanes, with 153 strokes (+9).
This is the second qualifying event for the National Senior Women's Ranking. The first was the Spanish International Individual Championship, held last month at Mediterráneo Golf (Castellón), with María Castillo finishing tenth as the top Spanish player. Following this will be the Spanish Mid Amateur Championship (Lauro Golf, Málaga, April 11-12) and the Spanish Senior Individual Championship (Costa Ballena, Cádiz, May 29-31).
