Na Daily Mail World Junior Championship, v španielskej Andalúzii, Zoey Sophia
Pápay úspešne nadviazala na americké turné a do sezóny 2025 vykročila pódiovým
umiestnením aj v Európe. Na ihrisku Flamingos GC, par 71, v dňoch 19.-21.
februára, odohrala tri kolá s celkovým skóre +32, čo znamenalo delené 1. miesto,
keď o celkové víťazstvo prišla až na 18. jamke záverečného hracieho dňa, keď
zahrala bogey. V playoff sa od Zoey Sophie odklonilo šťastie a po roztrele na 10.
jamke obsadila konečné druhé miesto. 
Na jej hre sa prejavilo málo času na prispôsobenie európskym podmienkam a
zdravotné problémy, ktoré Zoey Sophiu postihli krátko pred turnajom. V prvom kole
zahrala 78 rán (+7), keď jej nešla dlhá hra. Zahrala 3 birdie, 10 parov, 2 bougey, 1
doublebogey a 2 triplebogey a priebežne bola na 2. mieste, so stratou jednej rany.  V
druhom kole zahrala 79 rán (+8),keď ju nepodržalo patovanie. Zahrala 2 birdie, 12
parov, 1 bogey, 2 doublebogey a 1 triplebogey a v priebežnom poradí poskočila na 1.
miesto s náskokom 5 rán. Bohužiaľ v treťom (záverečnom) kole sa prejavili problémy
s ktorými Zoey Sophia zápasila pred turnajom. Nepodržala ju dlhá hra ani patovanie.
Po výsledku 88 rán (+17), keď zahrala 9 parov, 4 bogey, 2 doublebogey, 3
triplebogey nedokázala udržať náskok z druhého kola a nakoniec sa po playoff
musela uspokojiť s celkovým 2. miestom. Napriek tomu je to jej obrovský úspech a
ďalšia motivácia do ďalších turnajov. 

Zoey Sophiu teraz čaká trojmesačný pobyt v PG Golf & Sport Academy v španielskej
Andalúzii, kde pod dohľadom Andrew Malleya bude zdokonaľovať svoje golfové
umenie. V rámci prípravy sa zúčastní turnajov Kráľovskej španielskej golfovej
federalcie a Kráľovskej andalúzskej golfovej federácie o ktorých Vás budeme
priebežne informovať. 

Najbližší turnajový program Zoey Sophie Pápay:
8.-9. 3. 2025 Puntuable Zonal Nacional, Villa Nueva Golf Resort, Puerto Real
(Cádiz), Španielsko

At the Daily Mail World Junior Championship in Andalusia, Spain, Zoey Sophia Papay
successfully continued after her American tour andshe entered the 2025 season with a podium
finish in Europe. At the Flamingos GC, par 71, on February 19-21, she played three rounds

with a total score of +32, which meant a shared 1st place, when she lost the overall victory
only on the 18th hole of the final day of play, where she played a bogey. In the playoff, Zoey
Sophia luck turned away and after a birdie on the 10th hole, she took the final second place.

Her game was affected by the lack of time to adapt to European conditions and the health
problems that Zoey Sophia suffered shortly before the tournament. In the first round, she
played 78 shots (+7), when her long game was not working. She played 3 birdies, 10 pars, 2
bogeys, 1 double bogey and 2 triple bogeys and was in 2nd place, losing one shot. In the
second round, she played 79 shots (+8), when she was not supported by a putt. She played 2
birdies, 12 pars, 1 bogey, 2 double bogeys and 1 triple bogey and she jumped to 1st place with
a lead of 5 shots. Unfortunately, in the third (final) round, the problems that Zoey Sophia
struggled with before the tournament became apparent. She was not supported by a long game
or a putt. After the result of 88 shots (+17), when she played 9 pars, 4 bogeys, 2 double
bogeys, 3 triple bogeys, she was unable to maintain her lead from the second round and
finally had to settle for 2nd place overall after the playoff. Nevertheless, it is her huge success
and further motivation for further tournaments.

Zoey Sophia is now set to spend three months at the PG Golf & Sport Academy in Andalusia,
Spain, where she will be working on her golf skills under the supervision of Andrew Malley.
As part of her preparation, she will be taking part in tournaments of the Royal Spanish Golf
Federation and the Royal Andalusian Golf Federation, about which we will keep you
informed.
