Madrid native Marta Martín has taken another step forward in her professional career by securing her first victory on the Ladies European Tour. She achieved this at the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open with an outstanding final round of 63 strokes (-9) for a total of 17.

The golfer from the Pro Spain Team started the day in the top positions, but knew that to take the title she needed to finish with a very low score. And she did just that. She closed the first nine holes at -6 – note her five consecutive birdies between the 5th and 9th – and finished with four more on the back nine. 63 strokes for the Madrid native.

That result rendered the efforts of England's Rose Davies (-13), who also shot a 63, and Nuria Iturrioz (-10), who carded a remarkable 66 to finish the week in the Czech Republic in the Top 10, futile. María Hernández (-9) also bowed out with a smile; another good week for the Navarrese player.

Interestingly, Marta Martín's first professional victory, achieved in June of last year, also took place in the Czech Republic. It was at the AMUNDI Czech Ladies Challenge, a tournament belonging to the LET Access Series. In 2024, she had already achieved some strong performances on the LET, such as her third-place finish at the NSW Women's Open, held at the Magenta Shores Golf & Casino in Australia.

Third place for Jon Rahm in Nashville

There was interest in seeing Jon Rahm back in action after the injury that prevented him from playing in the US Open, and the Basque golfer responded with a remarkable performance. He finished third at the LIV Nashville Open with a score of -12 – well behind Tyrrell Hatton's -18 – demonstrating that he is fully recovered.

It was also a good week for another golfer from the Pro Spain Team, Lucas Vacarisas from Barcelona (-12 overall), who finished fourth in the Blot Open de Bretagne, a Challenge Tour event, with rounds of 68, 67, 66, and 67. In the same tournament, Borja Virto from Navarre finished fifth with -11 and an outstanding final round of 62 (-8).

In addition, the week saw a tenth place finish for Adrián Otaegui (-7) at the KLM Open, one of the most historic tournaments on the circuit, Azahara Muñoz making the cut at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, and Miguel Ángel Jiménez (-5) finishing fourteenth at the DICK'S Open.
