The road to victory

The team took an early lead in alternate shot, winning 4.5–1.5. It then extended its advantage in best ball with a convincing 5–1 result.
Finally, Team Interior won the singles matches 9–3, completing a strong performance that secured the championship.
Fabio Balbuena and Oscar Sánchez played decisive roles, earning the points that sealed the victory.
Golf and tradition at Punta Espada

The 2026 Copa Corrie was held under the technical supervision of the Dominican Golf Federation (FEDOGOLF). The organization oversaw the competition and ensured compliance with official golf rules and regulations.
At the conclusion of the tournament, Brenda and Silvia Corrie led the awards ceremony alongside Enrique Valverde, representing FEDOGOLF.
With another title to its name, Team Interior extends a winning streak that has defined recent editions of the Copa Corrie. Meanwhile, Punta Espada adds another chapter to its history as a host venue for major golf events in the Dominican Republic.
