Malaga’s golfer resurfaced in **LGPA’s Dana Open Tour** held in Ohio, USA, qualifying for the tournament. Here’s how her return has been.  Golfer Azahara Muñoz seems to have handled pregnancy very well. And not even a year since she gave birth to her son Lucas last September, the Sampedreña made the cut “with a lot of nerves,” thanks to a birdie on the **18th hole for a total of 69 strokes**, coming back during the second round with more birdies to finish with a total of -1 and win two more rounds.  ![azahara muñoz golf championship](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/b-%204%20oct.png?width=730&name=b-%204%20oct.png)Source: Instagram Azahara Muñoz   But her new role as a mum hasn't been the only big change in Azahara Muñoz's life in recent months. As for her professional career, the golfer took on **Chilean star Joaco Niemann** as her coach; the time has finally come to put into practice everything she has been working on over the last few months! The Malaga-born player's goal is none other than to **be part of the European team** for the [Solheim Cup](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/en/solheim-cup), which will be played on the [Finca Cortesin](https://www.visitcostadelsol.com/malaga-costa-del-sol/the-costa-del-golf/golf-courses/finca-cortesin-golf-club-p15531) course in Costa del Sol from 18 to 23 September 2023. For the first time in the history of the tournament, the **United States and Europe will meet in Spain, a milestone that will place the Costa del Sol in the sporting limelight.** Born in San Pedro de Alcántara in 1987, golfer Azahara Muñoz played in the **American LPGA Tour** and the **Ladies European Tour**. With an unstoppable career despite her youth, Muñoz was honoured in March 2013 in the **Lady Golf Awards as the Best Spanish Professional Player**. She won her first tournament as a professional at the 2009 Madrid Ladies Masters on the European Tour. Later, she achieved two more victories in the **Women's Open de France** integrated in the LET and two more in the **American Women's Tour.** In 2015, she participated for the third time in the Solheim Cup tournament, which she won in 2011 in Ireland and in 2013 in Colorado, a milestone never achieved by another Spanish player. In 2016, she also participated in the **Rio de Janeiro Olympics.** **![azahara muñoz golf swing](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/c-%204%20oct.png?width=730&name=c-%204%20oct.png)**Source: Instagram Azahara Muñoz   ## **Costa del Sol: the ideal destination for golfers** Costa de Sol has [more than 70 top tier golf courses](https://www.visitcostadelsol.com/malaga-costa-del-sol/the-costa-del-golf/golf-courses) and many of them are ranked the best across Europe. **Its extraordinary climate, wide range of leisure activities and hotels specialised in golf tourism** make this destination an **incomparable option for international tournaments**.
