Gipuzkoa player Ane Urchegui has extended the love affair that began last year with the Grand Prix de Landes and has won for the second time in a row in this event held at the Hossegor course, in the French region of Aquitaine.

His authoritative and convincing victory in the women's competition could not be followed by another in the men's, as the Frenchman Baptiste Chapellan, with a sensational final round of 65 strokes, snatched the victory 'in extremis' from the San Sebastian native Iñigo Urquizu.

Ane Urchegui, a player from the National School who represented Spain this month at the European Ladies' Team Championship in Oslo, closed four days of absolute dominance with a round of 67 strokes, a more than sufficient score considering that Madrid native Araceli Felgueroso could not get below 71. Galician Teresa Puga completed the Spanish podium after having made an exceptional round of 66 strokes on the third day.

In the men's competition, Baptiste Capellán triumphed against all odds, given that the previous three rounds had been dominated by Iñigo Urquizu and Ignacio Elvira. The San Sebastián native, who led the standings at the start of the day, couldn't manage better than 70 strokes, while the Cantabrian golfer shot a 72 and lost his chances. Despite this, the overall Spanish result is positive, as Borja Etchart from Biscay also secured a place in the top ten.

Thus, the Spanish representatives have successfully completed their journey through the three tournaments traditionally held in the south of France during the summer: the Chiberta Grand Prix, the Biarritz Cup, and the Landes Grand Prix. Mandy Goyos came within a hair's breadth of winning the first, Jorge Campillo and Emma Cabrera triumphed in the second, and now, Ane Urchegui has put the finishing touch on their success.
