Spanish golfers Jorge Campillo and Carmen Pérez Narbón have once again won tournaments on the North American University Circuit, the UMB Bank Mizzou Tiger Classic and the Lady Seahawk Invitational, respectively.

Jorge Campillo, from Cáceres and a member of Indiana University, was by far the best player in the tournament held at The Club in Missouri, also helping his team, the Hoosiers, to win the team competition.

The bad weather conditions that affected the competition did not prevent Jorge Campillo from displaying his best golf, finishing 7 strokes ahead of his closest pursuer, the American Drew Allenspach, mainly thanks to a spectacular second day in which he recorded only 66 strokes, which constituted a course record.

This victory is Jorge Campillo's fourth since enrolling at Indiana University to pursue his golf and academic training. He previously won the Boilermaker Invitational in 2006 and the North Texas Classic and the Pinehurst Intercollegiate, both in 2007.

For her part, Carmen Pérez-Narbón from Valencia, belonging to the University of North Carolina Wilmington, won the Lady Seahawk Invitational held at the River Landing GC in Wallace (North Carolina).

Carmen Pérez Narbón's victory came after a thrilling playoff in which she defeated American Erica Creed of UNC Greensboro. Both players finished tied in the standings at the end of the third round with 217 strokes (78-68-71 in the case of Carmen Pérez Narbón, who won the Lady Paladin Invitational in 2007).

These new victories add to those achieved this season by other Spanish golfers on the North American University Circuit, such as María Hernández from Navarre, Cristina Marín from Aragon, Gonzalo Berlín from León, and Ignacio Elvira from Cantabria.
