The week in Puerta de Hierro (Madrid), with 79 shots the 1st day, did not start in the best way for Ángel. But of course, we are talking about one of the best players in the amateur scene in Spain (if not the best), and we can never consider him dead. And precisely that happened; was climbing positions as the days passed (70 and 72 in the following rounds) and reached the final day 3 shots behind of the leaders (Rodriguez-Tabernero and Del Rey).
Hidalgo started the day like a rocket, with 6 birdies in the first 8 holes, making all his opponents scared. But a couple of errors midway through and some skills from Del Rey, caused an exciting final, with a play-off included. Finally, spectacular victory for the player of Real Club de Golf Guadalmina.
According to Ángel Hidalgo (see interview), this 2nd title in the Spanish Championship has been even more special than the first for two very simple reasons: it was one of the clear favorites (and it's not easy to manage this situation) and, of course, the spirit to overcome that 79 of the 1st round.
Angel is great on the course, but even more outside. Do not miss the beautiful words (see video) he had towards his family, club, friends and other "guilty" of all this.
Having a champion of these dimensions is a pride for our Club.¡Our most sincere congratulations!

The one that had a positive week was also Noemí Jiménez (one more), finishing 7th in the Viaplay Ladies Finnish Open, at the LET Acces Series. Bravo! Now, she is 2nd in the rankings.
