Marta Martín (-17) has achieved the greatest victory of her sports career this Sunday. The 27-year-old golfer from Madrid has won the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open, the first victory of her career on the Ladies European Tour. Martín has claimed the title thanks to a stratospheric final round of 63 strokes, the lowest of her career on the LET. Without a doubt, the round of her life.
It was a knockout victory at the Royal Beroun Golf Club, 30 kilometres west of Prague. She didn’t start from the pole position this Sunday, but she quickly took control with a prodigious day of golf. She started with a birdie on hole 2, although her success was forged with seven consecutive birdies between holes 5 and 11. That’s where she won the tournament. That’s where she left all her rivals without an answer. Just in case, after making a bogey on 12, her only mistake of the day, she finished the tournament with two more birdies on holes 13 and 15. Final sentence. Marta, in seventh heaven.
Until now, the best card of the Spanish in the Ladies European Tour was a 67. She has improved the record by four strokes, she has done it on a Sunday and, on top of that, to win the tournament. Is it or is it not the round of her life?
The friendly golfer from Madrid has been playing great golf for a while. Last year she had a notable season on the LET Access Series, with a victory included. In 2024 she had already added a third place at the beginning of the year in Australia and was moving among the top 40 in the order of merit. In a way, she was warning, although really the last few weeks had not been the best.
Martín, with two rounds on Friday and Saturday of 69 and 67 strokes, has finished the job in a big way. She has won with a four-stroke lead over Englishwoman Rosie Davies and five over Ursula Wikstrom, Chloe Williams and Caroline Hedwall.
Beyond Martín’s extraordinary victory, the first for Spain this year on the LET, it is worth highlighting the notable Spanish performance as a whole, as Nuria Iturrioz has finished seventh alone and María Hernández has been eighth. Great harvest from Czech lands.
With this victory, Marta takes a giant leap in the LET ranking. She is among the top ten and begins to glimpse more important objectives than maintaining the card. The Czech Ladies Open has been held as part of the LET calendar since 2019 and it is the first Spanish victory. Among the winners are renowned golfers such as Atthaya Thitikul or Emily Kristine Pedersen.
Marta Martín is the seventeenth Spanish woman to win on the Ladies European Tour. She succeeds Carmen Alonso in the historical list. It is the 39th victory of Spanish golf on the European circuit. Carlota Ciganda leads this statistic with seven victories.
