The German pair of Britta Schneider and Anja Lundberg secured their first-ever victory in a Spanish Senior Women's Doubles Championship. Their impressive performance left the Spanish duo of María Trallero and María del Carmen Florán without a win at the Sherry Golf Jerez course in Cádiz, finishing two strokes behind.
The German team climbed to the top of the leaderboard on this second and final day, played in the Foursome format, with a score of 76. This result allowed them to overtake the tournament's initial leaders, Welsh pair Jane Rees and Catrin Russell, who are now tied for sixth place with Spain's Mónica Jessen and Guatemala's Beatriz Arenas, both with 151 strokes.
In the case of María Trallero and María del Carmen Florán, third at the start of the round, victory has slipped away from them by only two strokes, and that despite having delivered one of the lowest scores of the day, of 75 strokes.
In addition, María Castillo and María de Orueta finished in eighth place with a total of 152 strokes.
Following this Doubles event, the best European senior female golfers will compete in the Singles on the same course. All six members of the Spanish team that won the European Championship last summer will be present: Macarena Campomanes, María de Orueta, Soledad Fernández de Araoz, María Castillo, Natalia Martínez-Reboredo, Mónica Jessen, and Rocío Ruiz de Velasco (the latter being the captain).
