Her er LETs rapport fra siste runde:
Lexi Thompson becomes LET’s youngest professional winner
DUBAI, U.A.E. – December 17, 2011: American Lexi Thompson, 16, became the
youngest professional golfer to win on the Ladies European Tour when she
captured the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters by four shots at Emirates Golf Club.
Aged 16 years, 10 months, 8 days, she became the second youngest ever Ladies
European Tour event winner after South Korean Amy Yang, who was aged 16 years, 6
months, 8 days, when she won the ANZ Ladies Masters in Australia as an amateur,
in 2006.
Thompson, born on February 9, 1995, claimed her second professional title just
three months after winning the Navistar LPGA Classic on that Tour.
Thompson closed with a five under par 67 for a 15 under total of 273 to become
the first ever American winner of the title in the six-year history of the Omega
Dubai Ladies Masters, in which she tied for 22nd place on her tournament debut
12 months earlier.
She said: “It feels amazing. I feel really honoured that they invited me back
and grateful to be here. I’ve been working on my game really hard and it’s paid
off. I’m going to continue working hard and just trying to improve every
tournament.”
Wearing her traditional final round colour of blue and adorned in ‘good-luck’
ladybirds, she started the day one shot clear of the field but lost her lead to
Lee-Anne Pace after seven holes.
The South African was red-hot with two birdies and an eagle in her first six
holes and although Thompson birdied the second and the third, she lost her lead
after a bogey on the seventh.
However, Thompson, who qualified to play in the US Women’s Open as a
12-year-old, chipped in for birdie at the par-four ninth hole to regain her one
stroke advantage and played sensational golf on the back nine.
She birdied the 10th, 13th and 14th to gain a five stroke lead after Pace
dropped shots at the eighth and the 12th holes.
Her second blemish was a three-putt bogey on 17 and there was a two-shot swing
when Pace made birdie, reducing the gap to three strokes.
However, no nerves were visible as Thompson played the par-five 18th. She played
her second shot safely in front of the lake before flicking a wedge to three
feet and making the birdie putt.
“The chip‑in was definitely really important, but the whole day my whole goal
was to get it to 15‑under. That was my goal, but once she made the birdie and
the eagle, I knew I had to play my game, make a lot of birdies, so I just kept
on going strong and hoping for the best,” Thompson said.
“On the 17th I struggled a little bit on that green, but I ended up three‑putting,
it was a two‑shot swing. But I was just thinking I'm going to just take 3‑wood
off the tee and hopefully make birdie or par that way. I would think that would
do it. So I ended up making birdie, so it was a bonus.
“I was playing safe, but still pretty aggressive, just playing smart. So I just
went into 18 and played smart, hit 3‑wood and hopefully make par, birdie.
“If it was close, I might have gone and hit driver and went to the green to make
eagle if it was close, but I'm just thinking I'm pretty good with my wedges, so
I was just hoping for birdie with that.”
Pace played the final hole in regulation and her final-round 69 left her alone
in second.
Pace said: “I guess I could have had things a little bit different. I hit a bad
club on I think it was number 12 over the green which cost me a shot, and I
think that's where things changed around. But I'm pretty happy I played well.”
Sweden’s Sophie Gustafson had a solid bogey-free final round of 71 and ended
third at 10 under, but acknowledged that just one final-hole birdie was not
enough to put any pressure on the youngster.
“I played well; I just couldn’t get any of the putts to drop. I mean, I think I
hit 16 greens and had 34 putts, so that’s not going to win you any tournaments,
but it was nice to finish with a birdie on the last,” Gustafson said.
Fellow Swede Pernilla Lindberg had been in contention but dropped into a share
of fourth place after a bogey on 17. She had a final round of 71 to end nine
under alongside Becky Morgan and Stacy Lee Bregman, while Alison Walshe and
Julieta Granada were two strokes further behind.
Georgina Simpson shot 67 and moved up into a share of ninth with Florentyna
Parker and Caroline Hedwall.
In the other final round tussle, Melissa Reid finished second on the Ladies
European Tour’s Henderson Money List for 2011 after tying for 22nd, while
Hedwall ended in third place for the season.
American Michelle Wie carded a final round 72 and finished in share of 12th at
five under, her challenge effectively having ended with a double bogey on the
ninth hole.

Her er full rapport fra LET:
Wahlin back on top after cancer scare
DUBAI, U.A.E -- December 14, 2011: Lotta Wahlin shot a six under par 66 at
Emirates Golf Club on Wednesday to take a one stroke lead after the opening
round of the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters.
The 28-year-old Swede, who celebrated her birthday on Tuesday, fired seven
birdies and one bogey on the Majlis course, with her father, Mats on the bag.
She said that she felt ‘just so happy’ to have her best round since 2008, the
year she won two tournaments on the Ladies European Tour.
That was before a skin cancer scare exactly two years ago at the end of 2009.
Wahlin was playing in Dubai that year when she received a telephone call from
her doctor on her birthday, informing her that she had a malignant birth mark on
her collar bone area.
She had it removed and since then, has been through a rough spell, playing in
only two tournaments on the LET in 2010 and struggling to recover her previous
form in this, her first full year back on Tour.
Her best finish from 14 appearances on the LET this year was a tie for 13th in
the recent Sanya Ladies Open in China.
After her round, Wahlin said: “I finally had a good round, finally able to make
all the putts. I’m just so happy.”
Due to her sensitive skin, Wahlin normally avoids playing in the sunniest
locations on tour, such as Australia and Portugal, but felt no hesitation about
returning to Dubai. She just wants to play golf.
“I thought, is it really worth to be out on the golf course in the sunny
countries or is it better that I just quit playing golf and so something else,
but I still have to live my life and golf is my life, or a big part of my life,”
she said.
At the same time, she felt that she had gained a sense of perspective. “You
know, golf is not so important anymore. If I have a bad round, I’m still
disappointed, but it’s not like the end of the world like it used to be.”
Becky Brewerton of Wales was a stroke back on 67 after carding six birdies and
one bogey. The Welsh 29-year-old said that she had few expectations after
suffering from a bout of gastroenteritis in India last week and spent Monday in
bed.
She said that she was surprised how well she played. “I think it was just a
different attitude. Last week I think I probably over prepared, practiced too
much, got a bit tired and then actually got sick at the end of the week, whereas
actually this week I did nothing since I wasn’t feeling too well and that kind
of relaxed me,” adding: “I feel fine, but still not 100 per cent.”
Linda Wessberg of Sweden was in the chasing pack along with Minea Blomqvist,
Julieta Granada and Stacy Lee Bregman, all on 68.
Jaclyn Sweeney, Lee-Anne Pace Elizabeth Bennett, Christel Boeljon, Tandi
Cuningham, Julie Maisongrosse, Diana Luna, Maria Verchenova and Beth Allen were
all on 69.
England’s Melissa Reid carded a level-par 72 to end two shots behind US teenage
sensation Alexis Thompson, while American Michelle Wie, who is the highest
ranked player in the field at 17th in the world, had a one over par 73 after
what she called a ‘frustrating’ day at work.
“I just felt like it was one of those days where nothing really went in and
nothing really went my way,” said Wie.
Recent winner Caroline Hedwall and Laura Davies both stumbled to rounds of 75.

 Caroline
Hedwall har hatt en fantastisk sesong
11.12 LET:
Caroline Hedwall tok sin 4. seier
Flott gjort av den svenske rookie'en.
Rapport fra LET:
Hedwall collects fourth LET title in India
Gurgaon, India – Sunday, December 11, 2011: Caroline Hedwall notched the fourth
win of her rookie season on the Ladies European with a closing 69 at the Hero
Women’s Indian Open.
The 22-year-old Swede had five birdies and two bogeys in her final round at DLF
Golf and Country Club in Gurgaon, New Delhi, to finish with a winning score of
12 under 204 and two ahead of Thailand’s Pornanong Phatlum.
Hedwall said that the victory will give her huge self belief going into next
week’s season-ending Omega Dubai Ladies Masters.
“It gives me a lot of self confidence. It’s been a great week and I’m very
excited about this win,” she said. “I just tried to focus on myself and try to
play the same game I’ve played for the last few days. I did manage to stay
patient, which was my goal for the day.”
The victory means she can overhaul second placed Melissa Reid on the 2011
Henderson Money List in Dubai, but she cannot catch top ranked Ai Miyazato.
Pornanong, a two-time winner of the Indian Open before it became sanctioned by
the LET in 2010, carded a 70 to end 10 under, while Becky Morgan from Wales had
a 69 to finish third at eight under.
Swede Linda Wessberg signed for a 73 to tie for fourth with Lee-Anne Pace (68)
on four under par.
Hedwall started the day with a one stroke lead but Pornanong and Wessberg both
caught her with birdies on the first hole.
Pornanong took the outright lead after Hedwall bogeyed the fifth, but a run of
four straight birdies from the seventh saw the young Swede quickly establish a
three shot advantage.
Hedwall three-putted the short 11th and her lead was then cut to a stroke after
Pornanong birdied the 13th. But after Hedwall sank a four-footer for birdie on
the 15th, the Thai bogeyed the 16th and Hedwall had a three shot cushion coming
down the last.
Her drive landed under a tree and she was forced to lay-up short of the water
protecting the green, but she finished the job with a par.
“I think because I led by three I just tried to stay cool and I was pretty cool,”
Hedwall said. “I had to chunk it in the water to miss the win, but I know I
don’t do that from 90 yards.”
Hedwall added that there would be little celebration as she was flying to Dubai
the same evening, although she might enjoy a meal with her mother, Yvonne, who
acted as her caddie for the week.
She added that she couldn’t believe the success she has enjoyed in her rookie
season, having also been a key member of Europe’s victorious Solheim Cup team.
“It’s just incredible. I can’t believe it myself to be honest. It’s been a great
year and I’m happy that it’s gone so well.”
In contrast it was a bitter-sweet end for Phatlum who said that she felt nervous
on the last day.
"My effort today was not good enough. I had very good approaches, but my putting
was a let-down," said 22-year-old Phatlum, who is a rookie on the US LPGA.
Korea's Do Yeon Kim had the round of the week, a seven under 65 to end joint
12th, while Sharmila Nicollet was awarded a ladies’ scooter by the title
sponsor, Hero MotoCorp, as the best placed Indian competitor in a share of 22nd.
The leading amateurs, Gauri Monga, 17 and Vani Kapoor, 16, both from Delhi, who
tied for 37th and 57th respectively, were given gold coins in recognition of
their achievements by the Women’s Golf Association of India.
Meanwhile, Christina Kim, who tied for 29th, donated half of her earnings from
the tournament to fellow golf professional, Smriti Mehra’s charity, The Golf
Foundation, which is aimed at helping underprivileged youngsters in India to
play golf.

Pettersen gives a master class at Killeen Castle
Norway’s Suzann Pettersen earned a six stroke victory with a stunning final
round of 64 at the Ladies Irish Open supported by Fáilte Ireland on Sunday.
The world no.3 scored rounds of 71, 63 and 64 to finish at 18 under par for the
tournament ahead of Spain’s Azahara Munoz.
With her course record 63 on Saturday and eight under par round on Sunday,
Pettersen blitzed the rest of the field with a score of 17 under par for the
weekend.
It was her second Irish Open victory after a five-stroke win at Portmarnock
Links in 2008. Having tied for 23rd at Killeen Castle in 2010, she was
delighted to have shown her class on The 2011 Solheim Cup course.
“It’s been a great week; it’s been a short week,” said Pettersen, who flew in
from Norway to compete in the event on Thursday, the day before it started.
“I just really like the way this course is playing, a little bit firmer. I
played great with my putter and it was really nice and hot.”
The 30-year-old from Oslo had started the final day tied for the lead with Dewi
Claire Schreefel from the Netherlands, who slipped back into a share of 16th
with a 77.
Pettersen stated her intentions with a birdie at the first, but Schreefel blew
her chances with an eight on the par-five second hole.
Playing through a shower or two, Pettersen then birdied the fifth, seventh and
ninth holes for an outward total of 32 to reach 14 under.
She holed a tricky fast, downhill putt from 12 feet for birdie on the par-four
11th and then rolled in a 20-footer on the par-four 13th to get to 16 under,
three clear of England’s Melissa Reid.
Reid’s challenge ended with a double bogey on the par-five 15th, which
Pettersen then birdied, before holing another 20-footer for birdie on the
par-three 16th.
Had Pettersen holed from inside 10 feet on the 18th she could have tied her own
course record, but she finished with a par in front of a packed gallery,
collecting her 12th worldwide career victory and a €60,000 first prize.
“I didn’t think I had to go 17 under but I tried to take my own, I think it was
a course record yesterday and on the last there I tried to at least give myself
a chance to tie it,” Pettersen said.
“You’ve just got to set your own goals when you feel like you are stretching to
the field. It’s nice if you have everything under control with two or three
holes to play.
“This is my second win in the Irish Open. Last year I was very disappointed
with the way I performed so it was nice to come back and perform to my
standard.
“I definitely like what I see right now. It won’t be long before we come back.
It just shows that there’s going to be a lot of birdies made out there in The
Solheim. I think it will be a great match overall.”
Pettersen is guaranteed a place in Europe’s Solheim Cup squad next month,
either from the Ladies European Tour points’ list or from the Rolex World
Rankings, but Munoz made her case for a wild card as the only player with three
rounds in the 60s with a 67, 68 and 69.
“I played really well and I have to congratulate Suzann, because she’s 18
under. I think that’s pretty amazing. I played really well. Fair enough, I left
a couple out there and had a double on four but I played really well and I’m
not going to complain about my week,” Munoz said.
Irish-born American Alison Walshe, who shared the first round lead, finished
tied for third with Reid on 11 under par, but would have claimed second but for
a double bogey on 17.
Italian Giulia Sergas finished fifth on nine under, followed by a group of five
players in joint sixth place.
They were South African Ashleigh Simon, Scotland’s Catriona Matthew, Australian
Karen Lunn, Paraguay’s Julieta Granada and Swede Maria Hjorth.
Stacey Lewis finished best of the American Solheim contingents on four under
while crowd favourite Christina Kim had a disappointing end to her tournament
with a final round 77 to finish on two over.
Amateur stars, the Maguire twins, finished best of the Irish, with Leona on one
over and Lisa one shot further back on two over, giving the sisters a top 50
finish. Leona’s round of 72 included a hole in one on the par three sixth using
a six-iron. Ireland’s only other player to make the cut, Martina Gillen, was
unfortunately disqualified for an incorrect drop on the par-three 16th.
The players will be back at Killeen Castle in late September as the top 12

 Kjemperunde
av Tutta i Irland lørdag
06.08 LET:
Tutta med 63-runde og rett til topps! Imponerende
Marianne Skarpnord og Tutta spiller på Killeeen Castle. Det er Irish
Open på programmet. Tutta satte ny banerekord med 63 slag lørdag og har tatt
ledelsen etter to av tre runder.
Marianne Skarpnord gjorde en bra innsats ved å spille seg inn i det gode
selskapet som får spille om pengene den siste dagen med en fin 71-runde. Denne
runden kunne vært mye bedre uten to bogeyer og en dobbelbogey. Men 60-tallet
ser vi søndag! Håper vi!.
Tutta har vunnet denne turneringen tidligere - i 2008 på Portmarnock Links. Med
det spillet hun viser nå, burde hun ha store muligheter til å vinne det hele.

Marianne Skarpnord hadde 70 (-1) og 69 (-2) og 75. Det ga en 23.

med 41 slag på de siste 9 ikke var helt bra, får vi håpe at fremgangen

Hedwall claims second LET victory in Finland
Sweden’s rising star Caroline Hedwall had double cause to celebrate when she
secured her second Ladies European Tour title in five weeks at the Finnair
Masters in Helsinki.
The 22-year-old rookie professional shot a final round of three under par 68 in
blazing sunshine for a 54-hole total of 202, 11 under par at Helsinki Golf
Club.
She went into the final round with a one stroke cushion after a six under 65 on
Friday and it proved enough to hold off the challenge of Holland’s Christel
Boeljon, who finished two strokes back on nine under par after a 67.
Hedwall maintained her lead throughout the final round and victory never looked
in doubt, but she didn’t take anything for granted until she had sunk the last
putt.
She remained one clear at the turn and extended her lead to two strokes after
rolling in a four-footer for birdie at the par-five 14th.
Hedwall and Boeljon matched each other’s scores for the last four holes with
birdies on the 15th, bogeys on the 16th and birdies on the 17th.
After Boeljon made four on the last, Hedwall tapped in for a simple par to
collect the cheque for 30,000 Euros.
She said: “I’m playing pretty well. It was a good day. It was fun. My best day
was yesterday. I shot six under and I think that was the key to the win. It put
me in a good position. I played pretty solid and I knew that if I holed a few
putts I would have a good score. I’m going to keep on going and hopefully earn
a few more wins.”
She thanked her non-identical twin sister Jacqueline, who is on a golf
scholarship at Louisiana State University, for carrying her bag.
Hedwall won the Allianz Ladies Slovak Open five weeks ago and with her second
title and season’s earnings of 134,972.79 Euros from 11 events, she moved to
third on the LET’s Henderson Money List, behind Italian Diana Luna and Boeljon.
She also moved to ninth on the European Solheim Cup rankings, having earned all
of her points in her last four tournament appearances.
The Barsebäck player was the joint favourite from the start, having tied for
eighth at the event as an amateur 11 months earlier.
It was the only course on the Ladies European Tour that she had played
previously, having turned professional in January after winning December’s
Final Qualifying School at La Manga Club.
While it was her second win on the Ladies European Tour, it was her fourth
title of the season after she won the New South Wales Open in January and the
PowerPlay Golf event on May 30th.
Hedwall described herself as a ‘feel player.’ “I play very solid and when I
putt well I score low,” she said. “My mistakes are not that big so I normally
score around par and when I’m good I’m low.”
Boeljon was happy to have earned extra Solheim Cup points from her second place
finish, while Sweden’s Carin Koch was pleased to finish third at eight under.
A career best round of eight under par 63 saw Becky Brewerton from Wales tie
for fourth place with Frenchwomen Sophie Giquel-Bettan (68) and Anne-Lise
Caudal (71) while South African rookie Connie Chen was seventh, which was her
best result of the season.
Chen was one of the three leading players in the field not otherwise exempt to
earn a place at the Ricoh Women’s British Open, due to be played at Carnoustie
Links in Scotland, from July 28-31.
Anja Monke, who finished eighth, also qualified, along with Australian rookie
Stacey Keating, in 15th position.
The 2010 champion, Lee-Anne Pace of South Africa, tied for ninth with Swede
Linda Wessberg to complete the top-10 places.
Of the Finnish entries, Jenni Kuosa was the best placed in a share of 16th
while the 2008 winner Minea Blomqvist carded a final round 73 to share 50th.
The next tournament on the Ladies European Tour schedule is the Evian Masters
presented by Societe Generale which will be played at Evian Masters Golf Club
in France from July 21-24.

Dette er lovende!
Etter en langvarig skade er det meget godt å se Marianne tilbake i tilnærmet
god, gammel form. Hun er nr 9 etter to av tre runder i Finland. Dey vil ikke
overraske oss mye om hun denne uken klarer en topp 5 plassering. Men det er
ikke lett når hun mangler konkurransetrening. Marianne hadde egale - birdie
avslutning. Det skal denne redaktør forsøkte å kopiere når han skal spille

Fra LETs rapport:
Diana Luna wins Deutsche Bank Ladies Swiss Open
Sunday 19th June 2011
Italian Diana Luna claimed her second victory inside a month after emerging
from a crowded leader board to take the Deutsche Bank Ladies Swiss Open at Golf
Gerre Losone.
After the event was shortened from 72 holes to 54 due to bad weather, Luna
played 27 holes in blazing sunshine on Sunday.
The 28-year-old from Rome carded a final round of five under par 67 for 54-hole
13 under par total of 203, one stroke ahead of Frenchwoman Sophie Giquel-Bettan,
Australian Kristie Smith and the 2010 champion, Lee-Anne Pace from South Africa,
who all shot 68.
Becky Brewerton and Melissa Reid carded rounds of 67 and 69 respectively to tie
for fifth place two strokes further back, with Caroline Hedwall, Karen Lunn and
joint second-round leader Carin Koch sharing seventh on nine under par.
Luna and Pace came to the par-five 18th hole level on 12 under par but Pace
pulled her drive into the left hand rough and had to lay up short of the water
protecting the green.
After hitting the fairway, Luna then struck a five-wood to four metres setting
up an eagle putt, which just missed the hole.
Pace’s three metre birdie putt just trickled off, leaving Luna a short putt to
clinch the title.
It was her second victory of the season after her recent win in Germany and the
fifth of her eight-year career on the Ladies European Tour.
“I feel very emotional at this moment because I wasn’t expecting it,” Luna said.
“In the middle of the nine I wasn’t playing great and I made a few bad shots. I
really managed to stick together and keep going despite being very happy and
tired.”
After signing her score card, she was greeted by her one-year-old daughter,
Elena and added that she was looking forward to seeing her husband back at home
in Cannes, France.
She said: “I have been working on my mind the last few years. I think the
results are here and I really thank you, Vicky Aitken, for this and my coach,
Roger Damiano and my husband as well who is very, very supportive.”
Luna is now targeting her second Solheim Cup appearance after she moved to
fifth on the European standings, just outside the top four places that will
automatically qualify for the team.
“I’m really hoping to play Solheim Cup now. I really hope to be in the team now
and I will do my best to be in the team,” said Luna, ranked first on the LET’s
Henderson Money List after her win.
Last year’s Henderson Money List winner, Pace, tied for second and said: “I’m
disappointed obviously not to win but it was a good effort and my golf is back
so I’m looking forward to the majors and playing well in them.”
Smith, who won the Pegasus New Zealand Women’s Open in February, was also
looking forward to the summer’s majors.
“I’ve had not a great five weeks over here and to finish second this week and
be able to go home was nice and it feels good. It’s sort of like a relief, I
guess,” she said.
“I’m going to work hard on my game. I’ve got a lot of things to work on and a
month to do it. I’ll work on my body, work on the game and be ready for the
majors.”
Giquel-Bettan, the 2007 Open de Portugal winner, was happy to record her first
top-10 finish in nine starts this season. She said: “I finished with a birdie
on 18 so I’m really happy with second place. I can play the British and it
didn’t happen for such a long time that I’m very happy.”
After playing through illness, second round co-leader Laura Davies finished
with a 74 and tied for 12th place with eight other players including French
rookie Joanna Klatten.
The seventh edition of the Deutsche Bank Ladies Swiss Open will be played over
the week June 11-17, 2012.

Sunday 5th June 2011
England’s Melissa Reid came from five shots behind overnight leader Holly
Aitchison to clinch her second Ladies European Tour victory at the Deloitte
Ladies Open in Holland.
Reid carded a two under par 70 in the final round at Golfclub Broekpolder near
Rotterdam, which proved enough to dislodge Aitchison, who had led from the start
after opening rounds of 67 and 71.
Reid was able to celebrate with her friends on the practise putting green before
Aitchison had completed the 18th hole. She missed her birdie chance to tie
Reid’s 54-hole total of three under par and had to settle for a share of second,
which was her career best finish.
Caroline Hedwall followed up her wins at the Allianz Ladies Slovak Open and
PowerPlayGolf last week with a tie for second and also finished on two under
with Aitchison and Caroline Afonso from France.
In one of the most exciting climaxes to a Ladies European Tour event all year,
Reid stepped her foot on the gas in the final round following a disappointing
three weeks.
The 23-year-old from Derby had tied for 25th, 13th and 29th in Portugal, Germany
and Slovakia respectively and she vowed to ‘step it up.’
Reid said: “I saw my coach on Monday and I analysed everything that I was doing
the last few weeks and realised that I was doing a lot out of my comfort zone.
“It has been a tough couple of weeks, really. The last four tournaments I’ve not
played great and I’ve suffered with a virus and stuff. I said to my coach, Dave
Ridley, I meant business this week. It’s just awesome: an amazing feeling. I’ve
not won for a year, so it’s good.”
When asked how she felt about being overtaken on the European Solheim Cup points
list, she said: “I tried not to think about it.
“Obviously I knew it was going to be tough out there today but I stayed patient.
Lee Griffiths, my caddie, was brilliant. He kept me completely basically in my
own little bubble and we did it. It feels amazing; I’m ecstatic.”
Reid claimed her maiden victory at the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open a year ago,
but her consistency since turning professional has been phenomenal.
She has finished second seven times since turning her rookie season in 2008 and
has posted three top-five finishes this season, as well as tying for second at
the European Nations Cup as a team with Laura Davies.
Setting out in cooler, overcast conditions after several showers earlier in the
day, Reid picked up her first birdie at the short fourth, after hitting a 6-iron
to 12 feet. She dropped a stroke at the par-five sixth after her tee shot went
right and her second rebounded backwards from the trees.
She bounced back with birdies at the seventh and the eighth holes to get two
strokes behind Aitchison’s lead at halfway.
On the back nine, she played solid golf through the toughest holes and moved one
clear of the field with a great birdie on 15.
According to Griffiths, she made a career par on 16 after hitting a bad tee shot
out to the right. The ball was half plugged in the bunker and she splashed out
to 30 feet before holing from across the green.
She three-putted for bogey on 17, after missing a two-footer and there was drama
at the last hole when she found the trees off the tee and took a penalty drop.
She hit her second short of the green, chipped up and holed a four footer to win
€37,500 and move up to second on the LET’s Henderson Money List.
Diana Luna, Tara Davies and Anne-Lise Caudal shared fifth, with Caroline Masson
in eighth spot. The home favourite Christel Boeljon made a strong start but
slipped back in the latter stages to share ninth with Lynnette Brooky and Julie
Greciet.

Fra LET:
Ashleigh Simon secures second professional victory
South African Ashleigh Simon claimed the ISPS Handa Portugal Ladies Open by
three shots after carding a brilliant five under par 67 in windy conditions at
CampoReal Resort and Spa near Lisbon on Sunday.
The Johannesburg 22-year-old dislodged veteran Gwladys Nocera atop the leader
board with eight birdies and three bogeys on a warm final day in the
municipality of Torres Vedras.
Simon took command after she went to the turn in three-under 33, to move four
ahead of overnight leader Nocera. She carded two bogeys and four birdies coming
home for a back nine total of two under 34 to finish on 16 under par overall.
It was her second victory on the Iberian Peninsula, her only other victory
coming at the 2007 Catalonia Ladies Masters in Spain, shortly after turning
professional at the age of 18 almost exactly four years ago. Her best finish
this season had been a tie for seventh at the Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco.
“It’s a huge honour to win any Ladies European Tour event. I think that the
climate is so close to South Africa so I felt comfortable here the whole week.
It’s been an absolutely great week,” said Simon. “I played really good the whole
week and didn’t let my head get away. I didn’t know what score I was on so I was
very focused: 66, 67, 67, so very consistent.
“It’s been four years since my last win and this one feels very special because
I’ve been working for a long time. It shows that all the work is starting to pay
off now and I hope it can continue.”
She thanked her boyfriend and caddie David Buhai, her coach of one year Douglas
Wood and her fitness trainer Garth Milne for their part in her victory.
Runner-up Nocera, who began the day with a one stroke advantage, had a nightmare
start to the final round and was out in 38 with four bogeys and an eagle on the
front nine. She recovered well with birdies on each of the closing three holes
for a one under par 71 after the strong winds of the morning had calmed down.
Nocera said: “I started off not really good; it was really windy and I put a
ball in the water with the second shot on number one; I took a bogey on number
two. I put another ball in the water on eight, so that was way too many mistakes
and I didn’t make a single putt so I gave away so many things and Ashleigh
played really well. I’m happy to finish second but if I want to win I have to
not make mistakes.”
The recent Turkish Airlines Ladies Open winner Christel Boeljon of the
Netherlands finished third on nine under par after a final round of 72.
Italian Diana Luna, who shot 73, finished tied fourth with Frenchwoman Virginie
Lagoutte-Clement, who posted 74. South African Stacy Lee Bregman and England’s
Georgina Simpson were a shot further back in joint sixth, with English rookie
Rachel Jennings a shot further back in eighth place.
The Ladies European Tour now moves to Munich in Germany, for the UniCredit
Ladies German Open, presented by Audi, from May 19-22.

Marianne Skarpnords skulderskade har vært alvorlig. En lei skade med
muskler i skulderleddet gjør at hun har hatt problemer lenge. Kanskje var hun

 Christel
Boeljon holdt hodet kaldt og putteren varm og vant i Tyrkia
09.05 LET:
Christel Boeljon tok sin første
seier på LET i Tyrkia
Det ble ikke noe helgespill denne gangen på Caroline Martens. Nederlandsk seier.
Det hjelper godt å starte med tre birdier på de fire første hullene på den siste
runden når du leder med ett slag fra start.
Her er rapporten fra LET:
Boeljon earns maiden Strokeplay title in Turkey
Christel Boeljon held her nerve to claim her first solo Ladies European Tour
title at the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open at National Golf Club in Antalya.
The 23-year-old from the Netherlands held a one stroke lead going into the final
day and closed with a level par round of 73 for a five under par total.
She finished three strokes clear of her playing partners Florentyna Parker and
Becky Brewerton, who double bogeyed the last.
Brewerton had birdied the 16th and 17th to get within two strokes of the leader,
only to find the water twice on the ultimate hole.
Boeljon opened with three birdies in her first four holes to move three clear of
Parker and despite dropping a shot at the par-four ninth, she remained three
shots clear at the turn.
She opened up a five stroke advantage after 11 holes, having holed a curling
five-footer for birdie on the 10th. Despite a shaky finish – with four bogeys
and a chip-in birdie over the closing seven holes – she had the cushion she
needed to walk away with the €37,500 first prize and trophy.
“It feels great. My mind is doing over hours right now. It’s great,” said
Boeljon, who climbs to third on the LET’s Henderson Money List with her victory.
“You put so much hard work in it and to finally come out on top is an amazing
feeling.
“I was a bit nervous for sure and the back nine was a bit messy, maybe, but the
wind picked up as well and you could see it from the scores. They all went up. I
was happy to keep my head down and keep grinding and it was enough.”
Boeljon, who previously won the 2009 European Nations Cup as part of a team,
tied for second in Turkey 12 months previously and she added: “I think it’s the
experience that let me come out on top this week. I’ve spent some time in
America and it’s my third year on tour, and I think I’ve gained enough
experience now to win and finally I did it.”
Boeljon is now well on her way to achieving her goal for the season: to earn a
place on Alison Nicholas’ European Solheim Cup team when the event takes place
at Killeen Castle in September. She has climbed to third place on the European
team standings, from which the top four will earn a place on the 12-woman squad,
along with four players from the Rolex World Rankings and four captain’s
selections. “Before hand my goal was Solheim, so I’m on track right now,” she
said.
Parker, the 2010 ABN AMRO Ladies Open champion, began strongly but eventually
signed for a 75. Having cancelled two bogeys with two birdies on the back nine
after chipping in on the par-three 16th, she found the left greenside bunker on
17 and made a double bogey from there after racing a chip across the green.
“I struggled the whole day today. I thought I was going to get it going with the
birdie on two but I wasn’t hitting it good enough and I was glad I made two
birdies on the way back, but double bogeyed 17 unfortunately. Overall second
place was good,” Parker said.
Brewerton also carded a 75 despite being just two off the pace with a hole to
play. She said: “I was disappointed with the finish but I birdied 16 and 17 to
give myself a chance. I had fifth in Morocco, fourth in the European Nations Cup
and second here so I’m getting closer to a third victory.”
The 2010 champion Melissa Reid finished fourth on one under par after a final
round of 72 and said: “I was a little disappointed because I felt I could
challenge on the back nine. I felt the leaders would get a bit tight, as they
did, and if I could have posted a lower score it may have put some pressure on.”
She revealed that she had considered pulling out of the event earlier in the
week as she battled a serious sinus infection and was on a drip, but battled
through to earn her third top-five finish from four starts this year.

123 spillerne i feltet. 65 spillere gikk videre.

16.04 LET:
Norge hadde bare to lag bak seg
til slutt i European Nations Cup
Cecilie Lundgreen og Caroline Martens spilte for Norge i Alicante denne helgen.
Resultatet ble ikke særlig bra. Forventningene var helle rikke så store hvis vi
baserer oss på resultatet fra forrige Europa Tour-turnering i Marokko hvor begge
våre norske spillere leverte spill som var langt unna å klare cutten. Da var det
kanskje ikke så rart at resultatet i Nation Cup I Alicante denne helgen. Bare
Russland og Østerrike kom bak det norske laget blant de 18 landene som deltok.
Sverige vant kontrollert med tre slag foran Tyskland og England på delt 2.
plass.

Slovakisk, historisk seier i
Marokko - Zuzana Kamasova klarte å holde unna!
For første gang ble det slovakisk seier på LET. Våre to klarte ikke
cutten denne gangen. Se lenger ned på siden.
Det skulle holde hardt. Hun sprakk opp med en 76-runde. Det var meget nervøst
spill blant de som var i teten etter tre runder - som vanlig. Fire slags ledelse
ble til to slags seier over tre spillere Alexandra Bonetti (Am) (FRA), Caroline
Masson (GER) og Kiran Matharu (ENG).

Slovakisk ledelse i Marokko -
leder med fire slag før siste runde!
En slovakisk
sensasjon kan skje søndag. Da kan Slovakias eneste LET-spiller vinne og bli
landets først vinner på LET.
Dette sa hun etter runden lørdag:
“I’m going to stick to what I’ve been doing. I’m really enjoying myself out
there and I would like to do that tomorrow. I just take it one shot at a time;
I’m enjoying it; I’ve never been in that position; it’s great and I have nothing
to lose.”

Svakt spill ga intet helgespill
vår våre to norske spillere i
Marokko

Cecilie Lundgreen hadde 79 81 og +16 - også det milelangt unna cutten.

Svak åpning av de to norske i
Marokko
Det ble runder på 79 og 77 på Cecilie Lundgreen og Caroline Martens på den
første runden. Kristie Smith, AUSTRALIA, leder på 67 slag. Hun har vunnet
tidligere i år og kan vinne igjen. 28 spillere gikk på 80 slag eller svakere.
28.03 LET:
To norske er med i Marokko
denne uken
Dessverre er Marianne Skarpnord skadet, men Norge har likevel to spillere med i
turneringen som spilles denne uken i Marokko.
Denne uken er det to norske spillere på Europa Tour'en for damer i Marokko. De
spiller Lalla Meryem Cup på Soleil Golf Course i Agadir, Morokko 31. – 3 april.
Det er EURO 325.000 i premiepenger. Cecilie Lundgreen og Caroline Martens er
med.
Marianne Skarpnord er skadet
Dessverre er Marianne Skarpnord skadet. Hun har en betennelse i skulderen som er
blitt meget langvarig. Forhåpentligvis blir hun snart klar for spill. Hun har
vært i Spania og holdt nærspillet ved like.
Hva med Cecilie Lundgreen?
Cecilie Lundgreen har i perioder spilt overraskende bra. Hun var helt med i
teten i slutten av turneringen på New Zealand i februar. Men den siste dagen
falt hun 45 plasser nedover på listen til av 48. plass. Men som sagt – mye bra
spill innimellom. Kanskje det holder en hel turnering denne gangen?
Caroline Martens har trent nærspill
Caroline Martens var nok ikke helt klar for å få kortet i kvalet før nyttår. Hun
er kommet med i turneringen og bør nå benytte den muligheten hun har fått.
Spillet var bra fra tee til green i fjor høst, men nærspillet var alt for svakt.
Darren Webster-Clarke rådet henne til å oppsøke Nick Middleton i England for å
lære mer om spesielt putting. Vi får håpe at det har hjulpet slik at Caroline
Martens kan ta med seg et godt resultat fra Marokko. Hun trenger en god sesong
nå for å se om hun kan hevde seg internasjonalt.
Det er spillere fra 28 nasjoner med i Marokko.
