In the weather-affected Spanish Ladies' Amateur Championship at Montecastillo Golf & Sports Resort in Cadiz, Sweden's Frida Kinhult retained her title with a one-up win over Spain's Natalia Aseguinolaza.
The Swede beat the Lisburn's Paula Grant by the same margin in the last 16 after a series of weather delays forced organisers to catch up by reducing all the matches from that stage to the semi-finals to just nine holes.
Almost no play was possible on Friday due to high winds and flooding, but when the round of 32 resumed on Saturday, Grant beat Beatrice Walling of the Netherlands 1 up over 12 holes as Lurgan’s Annabel Wilson beat Denmark’s Sofie Kibsgaard 2 and 1.
Killarney's Valerie Clancy fell 3 and 2 to Lou Vrain of France in the first round while Wilson lost 4 and 3 to Romy Wickers of the Netherlands in the last 16 as Kinhult defeated Grant.
