Esteban Rodriguez and Moises Iriarte (Galicia) scored 48 on Sunday to fill third position on 17 under par for the 54 holes. Tomas Escarda and Daniel Fuentes were next on 146 after a thrilling Greensomes 44 while Jorge Rodriguez and Juan Carlos Iglesias finished fifth on 147. Miguel Llado & Maria Julia (Catalonia) carded a fine 51 in the Greensomes to take Best Mixed laurels by one stroke from compatriots Pilar Montero & Alan Torner with Matilde and José Lopez (Galicia) another shot away in third.
