The second and final day of competition of the Santander Golf Tour doubles tournament held at El Bosque Golf Club, Valencia, was carried out in Greensome format to find out the winning pair of the second event of the circuit.

After a thrilling playoff between the Madrid-based pair of María Herráez and Clara Young from Scotland against the duo of Céline Herbin from France and Marta Pérez from Valencia, Herráez and Young ultimately emerged victorious. Having carded two rounds of 65 strokes in Fourball format on the first day and Greensome on the second, they secured their first win as a team.

“The tournament has been fantastic. We played really well, we make a great team,” said Clara Young, who was very happy with the victory alongside her partner. “It’s been two very solid days of golf. Today wasn’t so easy playing one stroke each, but we worked together really well thanks to having a very clear strategy. It was an almost perfect round, and we’re both very happy that our hard work paid off,” commented Herráez.

“I am so happy about my first professional victory, and I can’t imagine a better friend than Maria to share it with,” Young said.

For her part, the Madrid native was very pleased to have achieved her second consecutive victory on this circuit after her win at Empordà Golf (Girona). She also won at El Bosque Golf Club last year. “Remembering my first professional victory has stirred up a lot of emotions. I think it’s a course where I feel very comfortable and I’m eager to keep adding to my tally,” Herráez said. “I think my game is improving, so we’ll keep working to have more titles to celebrate this year.”.

Céline Herbin and Marta Pérez finished in second place after carding a final round of 67 strokes, ending with a total of fourteen under par. Third place went to Mireia Prat from Catalonia and Laura Gómez from Málaga, who both shot a 64.

The special awards went to Natalia Escuriola and Amaia Latorre for the best celebration, and to Almudena Blasco and Reme Cortés for the best-dressed couple.
