Spaniards Jorge Campillo and María Hernández have added two more victories to their individual records in the United States Collegiate League, winning the men's and women's categories, respectively, of the prestigious Big Ten Championship. This tournament concludes the competition just before the NCAA Finals.

Jorge Campillo, from Cáceres, Spain, won the tournament in East Lansing, Michigan, capping off a sensational April in which he achieved three victories and was recognized as the conference's best player. The Indiana University player edged out Ryan Brehm by one stroke thanks to his outstanding performance in the final round, where he carded a 67.

This round came after a 69 on the first day and two 71s in the middle rounds, demonstrating his consistency. No player from Indiana had won this championship since Jeff Overton, now a professional and PGA Tour player, won in 2005.

In a similar situation to the player from Extremadura is María Hernández from Navarre, who has demonstrated in recent months that she is playing at an optimal level. In March she won the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic, and now, a month later, she has achieved one of her most significant successes since beginning her American adventure.

In Pennsylvania, the Spanish player won the tournament with unusual ease, finishing ten strokes ahead of her teammate, Christel Boeljon, who came in second. This decisive factor helped Purdue University, where they both play, to secure the team victory.

Both Jorge Campillo and María Hernández have as their next challenge the NCAA College League Final, which will be held from May 20 to 23 in Albuquerque.
