Martina Navarro (-10 total), one of the most promising golfers on the national female scene, has achieved a significant victory in the 2024 Madrid Women's Championship at Golf Santander (Boadilla del Monte), where she overcame the pressure of a European champion like Andrea Revuelta (-7).
The golfer from Alicante, a member of the RFEG's Junior Technical Committee Working Group, reached the crucial moment with the wind at her back after posting an excellent 66 in the second round, which propelled her to the lead. In the final round, she again played under par (71), making the most of her birdie prowess; she carded six birdies that day.
Andrea Revuelta, the tournament's early leader, struggled to recover ground, despite making few mistakes—just a couple of bogeys—and finding birdies wasn't easy. Her 70 strokes, however, were enough to secure second place ahead of Inés Baptista Belchior (-5), a Portuguese player with an Andalusian license.
The Top 5 of the week in this penultimate event valid for the National Under 18 Ranking and counting towards the World Ranking was completed by the Valencian Balma Dávalos (-3), the Andalusian Martina Bedmar (-2) and the Barcelonan Adriana García Terol (-2).
It's worth mentioning that Martina Navarro has been on an upward trajectory for months—years, really. Her victory in the 2023 National Junior Women's Qualifying Tournament, her qualification for the final of the prestigious Girls Amateur Championship that same season, and her recent third-place finish in the Spanish Under-16 Championship all attest to this.
Navarro-Revuelta duel all weekend
Martina Navarro and Andrea Revuelta engaged in a thrilling head-to-head battle throughout the weekend. The Madrid native struck first with a 67. Cloe Amión from Valencia finished close behind with a 68 (-4). Navarro wasn't far behind with a 69.
The following day, the Alicante native pulled ahead with a round of 66 strokes, her best of the week, to take the lead. Seven birdies and a single bogey, handed out in the first part of her round, adorned one of the most beautiful scores of her still young career.
