AUGUSTA, Ga. - Kansas State senior Carla Bernat Escuder was playing the final round of the Augusta National Women's Amateur at perhaps the world's most famous golf course for only the second time on Saturday.
But like many Spanish golfers before her, Bernat Escuder felt right at home while carding a 4-under 68 at Augusta National Golf Club, becoming the first woman from her country to win the six-year-old tournament with a 54-hole total of 204.
Bernat Escuder finished one shot ahead of 16-year-old Asterisk Talley, who posted a 4-under 68 on Saturday, and three in front of defending champion Lottie Woad of England, who finished with an even-par 72.
