José María Olazábal cheers on Spanish stars Carla Bernat Escuder, Andrea Revuelta at ANWA

José María Olazábal shot Andrea Revuelta a question prior to the Augusta National Women’s Amateur finale.

“How many more times are you going to play here?” asked Olazábal, the 1994 and 1999 Masters winner.

“One, two,” said Revuelta, a fellow Spaniard. “Maybe three.”

“Then have fun,” Olazábal said. 

Revuelta, a Stanford freshman, carded even par on Saturday to finish 8-under for the tournament. The 19-year-old tied for 4th place.

“I had so much fun today,” Revuelta said. “It was incredible. I mean, playing at Augusta National is something to be so grateful for.”

Competing in the penultimate pairing, Revuelta played alongside Carla Bernat Escuder, who became the first Spaniard to capture the Augusta National Women’s Amateur.

Speaking of her countrywoman, Revuelta said, “Seeing two Spaniards tee off together at Augusta National is very inspiring. I would say to all the Spanish girls that want to be here someday, I think this can give them so much motivation.”

Olazábal waited outside the scorers building to congratulate Revuelta and Carla Bernat Escuder.

When reflecting on Escuder’s triumph, Revuelta praised her playing partner. 

“I've always thought her strength was her putting,” Revuelta said. “But today it was everything.”
