When Augusta National Women’s Amateur champion Carla Bernat Escuder got back to her hotel Saturday evening, the Spanish players in the field were standing in the hall clapping and singing "Oleu0301, Oleu0301, Oleu0301." When she called her swing coach Victor Garcia, he serenaded her with “We are the Champions.”
Garcia’s son, Sergio, the 2017 Masters champion, was among those who sent a congratulatory note, along with LPGA player Carlota Ciganda and former NBA player Pau Gasol.
She had more than 200 messages on WhatsApp, over 100 on iMessage and a slew of Instagram DMs.
