Golf prodigy Celia Barquín found murdered in Iowa
SPAIN'S most promising young lady golfer has been murdered in the USA whilst on the course in Ames, Iowa, according to police.

Singles European Champion of 2018 Celia Barquín Arozamena, 22, was found dead at 10.25 local time on the Coldwater golf course on Monday after several players reported seeing an unattended golf bag.

It seems the Cantabria-born prodigy was violently mugged and died during the attack.

The suspect has been named as Collin Richards, 22, and is said to have an extensive criminal record.

Sportswoman of the Year at Iowa State University, Celia is described as a 'much-loved' person and a 'major ambassador' for the college.

Her trainer, Christie Martens, says she and the rest of the university are 'devastated'.

Tributes have poured in from all over the sporting world.
