None was from one of the two national golfers, Carlota Ciganda and Azahara Muñoz. The one that suffered the most was the second, who will have to fight the cut this Friday after signing a +4 for the provisional 94th place, with two double bogeys, one of them at par 5, three bogeys and as many birdies. If she does not achieve it, it would be the fifth time that she has not played on the weekend, the first since 2018, in the big one in which she has achieved the best records, eighth in 2011 and fourth in 2014.

Carlota Ciganda fared better, who came to flirt with the lead after an eagle at 14, where she put it from the fairway. Before that she had signed three birdies and two bogeys. With -1, she got into the ointment, but a weak finish, birdie and three bogeys in the last four holes, two of the last ones at 17 and 18, both par 5s, kept her away. She closed 36th at the clubhouse with a +1, three of the leaders of the morning shift, the Japanese Ayaka, the Norwegian Borge and the Irish Maguire with her -2. “The day has not been easy. +1 is fine. I have played very well, but it has been a shame the last four holes, that I have taken the greens and I have made three bogeys. It is a complicated field, the result is already done and to think about Friday ”, the Navarrese recounted after her round.

The Rules of Golf are a set of standard rules and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and maintained by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body for golf worldwide, outside of the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert commission made up of members of the R&A and USGA, oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision has been in force since January 1, 2016. Changes to the rules of golf generally fall into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that in certain cases reduce penalties to ensure balance. The rule book, entitled "Rules of Golf", is published on a regular basis and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy it is up to Federgolf to supervise the competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R & A, checking that these rules are observed by the Clubs, Associations and their members and manages the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
