The excitement for the outcome and the high level of play exhibited have been two of the characteristics of the International Singles and Doubles Championships of Andalusia, which have been played at the Parador Malaga Golf course for two days.<\/p>\n

The couples <\/span>Laura G\u00f3mez-Isabel Bascuas <\/strong>y <\/span>Miguel \u00c1ngel Jim\u00e9nez-Borja Cabello <\/strong>have won the <\/span>International Doubles Championship of Andalusia 2013<\/strong> <\/span>The excitement presided over the second and final day, played under the Fourball modality. In fact, in the women’s category, the winners beat the runners-up by only one stroke, while in the men’s category it was necessary to play a play-off playoff. <\/span><\/p>\n

As for the women, Isabel Bascuas and Laura G\u00f3mez were leaders at the end of the opening round, played according to the Foursome format, after submitting a card of 74 strokes (+2). Already in the final round, the duo signed a good round of 69 strokes (-3), with three decisive birdies on holes 15, 16 and 17, and was one stroke ahead of the tandem formed by Maria Parra <\/strong>and Sara Garcia<\/strong>, authors of a spectacular second round of 65 strokes (-7) that made them dream at times with the victory. <\/p>\n

Regarding the men’s category, the under par results of several couples were close to excellence. Thus, Pablo Heredia <\/strong>and Gonzalo Leal <\/strong>with 64 strokes (-8) or the 66 strokes (-6) of Carlos Segura<\/strong> and Angel Hidalgo<\/strong>, excelled in a last round where we witnessed a real recital of the duo composed by Miguel Angel Jimenez and Borja Cabello. <\/p>\n

The couple from Malaga eclipsed the rest of the participants after signing a stratospheric round of 62 strokes (-10), in a dream card with eight birdies, an eagle and no bogey.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this masterful record, Borja Cabello and Miguel \u00c1ngel Jim\u00e9nez tied at 138 cumulative strokes with the first day’s leaders, Casto G\u00f3mez and Antonio Cruz-Conde.<\/p>\n

Thus, both pairs had to play a play-off, which could have been even more numerous if <\/strong>the Enrique Mar\u00edn-Calvin John Greschner <\/strong>duo had holed their last putt on the 18th green.<\/p>\n

Already in the playoff, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Borja Cabello consummated the comeback and in the first hole overcame Antonio Cruz-Conde and Casto Gomez to proclaim themselves new Andalusian Doubles champions.<\/p>\n
