The trio representing Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro, comprised of Macarena Campomanes, María Orueta, and Catalina Castillejo, achieved an outstanding performance at the Ladies European Club Championship, held at the Bergisch Land Golf Club in Wuppertal, Germany. They finished in third place, surpassed only by the German club St. Leon Roth, who withstood the Spanish team's pressure on the final day, and by the Austrian team Gut Murstätten.

Macarena Campomanes was once again the best of the Madrid team, this time with a round of 76 strokes (4 over par), but her good performance – she was third in the individual classification – was not enough to unseat the powerful German team, who finished 13 strokes ahead of Puerta de Hierro.

On the very first day, Puerta de Hierro's performance hinted at a bright future for Spanish golf in Germany. With a 74 (2 over par) from María Orueta and a 77 (5 over par) from Macarena Campomanes, the Madrid natives climbed to third place.

But it was on the second day of competition that the Spanish team leapt into second place, guided by Macarena Campomanes' phenomenal performance. Her 72 strokes (par) left Puerta de Hierro five strokes behind the German team, which until then had shone brightly thanks to the contributions of Sophia Popov and Alexandra Kölker.

It wasn't to be, but once again a Spanish club came close to victory in the Women's European Club Championship. Since the Madrid-based RACE team – then composed of Adriana Zwanck, Carmen Alonso, and Marta Martín del Castillo – won the inaugural title, Spain has not returned to Spain. RACE itself finished fourth in the second edition, Puerta de Hierro took second place in 2003, and a year later, Escorpión climbed to fifth in a championship ultimately won by the German team St. Leon Roth.
