SWEDEN – Duke women’s golf incoming freshman Anna Cañado Espinal will hit the course once again this week as she competes in the 2024 European Girls’ Team Championship, which will take place July 9-13 at the Göteborgs Golf Klubb in Sweden.
Cañado will represent her home country of Spain and opens action at 8:47 a.m., local time on Tuesday.
The championship will feature 36 holes of stroke play qualifying, before heading to match play July 11-13. Each team, made up of six golfers, completes two individual stroke play rounds on days one and two with five of each team’s six scores counting towards their stroke play qualifying totals.
The top eight teams from the stroke play rounds qualify for the medal-contention ‘Flight A’ match play bracket. The next eight teams will compete in Flight B, and (where applicable) the remaining teams in Flight C.
In the match play brackets, teams are seeded based on their qualifying position, (1 vs 8, 2 vs 7 etc.). Winning teams advance in their brackets, while losing teams, and all those with no chance of winning medals, continue to play a shortened format of one foursomes match and four singles matches against other ‘defeated’ teams to determine final position.
To win the title, a team must qualify for Flight A (top-eight in the stroke play qualifying) and then win all three of its matches. Teams finishing second and third are awarded silver and bronze medals.
Last year, Cañado helped her Spain squad win the championship in France.
