Following the conclusion of the women's golf competition at the Paris 2024 Olympics with a historic gold medal for New Zealander Lydia Ko and silver and bronze medals for German Esther Henseleit and Chinese Xiyu Lin respectively, as well as a thirteenth place for Azahara Muñoz and a 49th place for Carlota Ciganda, this week's professional tournaments with Spanish participation belonging to the PGA Tour, Champions Tour, Challenge Tour and LETAS are also coming to an end.
The first to close was the Ahlsell Trophy, of the LETAS, played at the Swedish course of Gränna Golfklubb, where María Herráez and Marina Escobar shared twenty-second position, after their results in the last day (76 and 77 strokes) prevented them from reaching higher levels.
The final victory went to the German Patricia Isabel Schmidt, who finished two strokes ahead of the tournament's big sensation, the Italian amateur player Alessia Nubilio.
The next tournament to be completed was the Scottish Challenge, held at the Newmachar Golf Club in Aberdeenshire, where a dozen Spanish players gathered.
Of all of them, only five managed to pass the cut established after the second day and finally, Quim Vidal and Borja Virto have been the most outstanding by sharing the seventeenth position.
Victory in Scotland went to Englishman Brandon Robinson Thompson, who gave his pursuers no chance after achieving an eight-stroke lead.

The first of these was played at the Sedgefield Golf Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, United States, with Aaron Rai taking the win with a total of 262 strokes, fourteen less than those accumulated by Jorge Campillo, who finished in 52nd place.
Miguel Ángel Jiménez fared somewhat better at the Wyndham Championship held at The Club in Snoqualmie, Washington. The man from Málaga finished in 18th place with a score of 212, in a competition dominated by Stephen Ames, who also finished with a total of 212 strokes.
