Benedicte Grøtvedt hadde muligheten i dag til å skaffe seg LET-kortet for 2013.

17.12 LET:
LET-kval i Marokko - Benedicte Grøtvedt klarte det ikke, men får en lavere kategori
Caroline Martens brukte et slag for mye til å klare cutten. Benedicte Grøtvedt hadde en fin mulighet mandag ettermiddag, men holdt ikke helt inn

Hun startet med en birdie og par på de neste fire hullene. Hun trengte et par birdier til for å få kortet. Det fortsatte bra med birdie på dagens 8. hull. Det viste seg i ettertid at hun trengte to birdier til, men hun avsluttet bogey, par bogey og ble dermed fire slag bak grensen til å klare kortet for neste år.

Rebecca Lee-Bentham og Moriya Jutanugarn vant kvalet på LPGA Touren. Sistnevnte er storesøsteren til Ariya Jutanugarn, Thailand, som var for ung til å få være med i LPGA-kvalet. Dermed vant søstrene hvert sitt kval på gver side av Atlanteren. Flott gjort. De søstrene får vi hør mer om de nærmeste årene!

De to har "herjet" på golfbaner i lengre tid allerede. Pappa blir med den en og mamma blir med den andre søsteren på de to tourene neste år.

Her er rapport fra LET:

Ariya Jutanugarn romps to Lalla Aicha Tour School win

Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn secured her Ladies European Tour card in impressive style by winning the Lalla Aicha Tour School Final Stage by five shots from England’s Emily Taylor and Australian Nikki Campbell.

The 17-year-old amateur shot a three under par 69 in the fifth and final round on the Al Maaden golf course in Marrakech, Morocco, to end on a total of 336, 24 under par.

The world No.2 amateur began the day three shots clear of the field and her lead was never threatened on a day when exactly 30 players earned their full playing rights for The 2013 Ladies European Tour.

The final day was full of drama with emotions running high at both ends of the leader board. There were scenes of jubilation early on as Maha Haddioui secured her tour card with a final round 67, becoming the first Moroccan golfer to qualify to play on the Ladies European Tour full time.

Young Mexican Margarita Ramos saved the best until last with a five under par 67 to make the top 30 on the number at seven under par. There was strong representation from South America as Paula Hurtado of Colombia and Maria Salinas of Peru also secured their full cards.

India’s Sharmila Nicollet was ecstatic to be back on the Ladies European Tour and determined to make amends for her rookie season.

However, several players were disappointed to have missed out on the top 30 including England’s Charley Hull, who shot a final round 76 to end in a share of 36th on four under alongside Cheyenne Woods of the United States who had a final round 70.

At the top of the leader board though, Jutanugarn completed a convincing win posting six birdies, one bogey and a double in her final round, with which she was not entirely satisfied.

“Today I didn’t play very good and I missed some putts. My irons were not very good today, but I’m still happy because the two weeks were very good,” said Jutanugarn, whose older sister Moriya was a co-medalist at the LPGA’s Final Qualifying School two weeks earlier.

“I’m going to miss her a lot because we have to separate. I have to go with my dad and Moriya will go with my mom,” she said, adding: “I am going to turn pro and I’m really happy I won because it will make me feel confident for my professional career.”

Jutanugarn ended her junior career this season by winning her second consecutive AJGA Rolex Junior player of the Year. Having turned 17 in late November, she will be amongst the youngest players on the LET, but not the youngest. Hull, 16, plans to turn professional, while China’s Xi Yu Lin, who is also 16, qualified in fifth position having turned professional a year ago at the age of 15.

Taylor, 18, is another player tipped for stardom and she was thrilled to earn her full tour card. “I didn’t expect it to be honest. I did play well in the Pre Qualifying but it’s just fantastic to finish tied second, I’m really happy. I was good with my irons this week, the putting wasn’t great but tee to green I hit a lot of greens and a lot of fairways so I gave myself a lot of chances. I can’t wait for my rookie year on tour and I’m going to turn pro as soon as possible,” she said.

At 32, Campbell is a veteran with 10 years on the LPGA of Japan, but she will be a rookie on the Ladies European Tour in 2013.

“I’ve always wanted to come and play here. I’ve been playing in Japan the last ten years and things were getting the same old,” she said. “Something new is pretty exciting. I played really well, hit a few good iron shots and sunk a few putts, so I’ve been playing pretty well the last two weeks but the putts went in today.”

Haddioui was one of the more emotional players and her performance meant a great deal to the partisan gallery cheering from outside the ropes.

She played the back nine in one under par on the last day before picking up four birdies in a row from the first hole and coming in with 32 on the front nine.

Haddioui said: “I was so stressed going into the final round and I started with a bogey and it was really tough. I had a series of really good holes so I’m really happy. I’ve put in a lot of work and finally it’s paying off.”

She explained how her mentality changed as she made the turn: “I knew it was the last nine holes so I was like, ‘this is now or never, or next year, basically!’ That gave me a little boost.

“It means a lot to me personally because this is what I’ve wanted for two years now since I turned

LET-kval i Marokko - bare Grøtvedt videre med oppløftende søndag
Caroline Martens brukte et slag for mye til å klare cutten. Benedicte Grøtvedt gikk videre - selv med en kvadruppel bogey! 

Men det er amatøren Ariya Jutanugarn, Thailand, som har stjålet showet i Marokko.

Benedicte Grøtvedt må nok kanskje ha en 70-runde for å spille seg opp blant de 30 beste. Hun var nr 38 før den siste runden.

Shanshan Feng

10.12 LET:
Shanshan Feng, China, var ikke til å stoppe i Dubai med rekord-skår
Da Marianne Skarpnord og Caroline Martens ikke klarte cutten, ble interessen fra norsk side redusert. En kineser stakk av med seieren.

Carlota Ciganda ble både årets nybegynner og vinner av pengelisten!

Her er rapport fra LET:

Feng earns record win in Dubai
DUBAI, Saturday Dec 8, 2012 – World No.6 Shanshan Feng of China earned an imperious five stroke victory after leading from start to finish at the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters.

The 23-year-old from Guangzhou fired rounds of 66, 65, 67 and 67 to end 21 under par, recording the lowest winning total in the tournament’s seven year history, beating the previous best of 18-under jointly held by Sweden’s Annika Sorenstam and South Korean In Kyung Kim.

Dewi-Claire Schreefel of the Netherlands, who shot a tournament record 63 in the third round, ended in lone second position at 16 under par. Meanwhile Becky Brewerton and Caroline Masson finished four shots further back in a tie for third.

Feng took a commanding five shot lead into the final round and was still five clear as she made the turn. She moved to 20 under par after rolling in an eagle putt from 20 feet at the par-5 third hole. China’s first major champion earlier this year, Feng bogeyed the fifth but birdied the eighth for an outward total of two under. She was solid on the back nine with eight pars and a solitary birdie on the 14th hole.

“I'm very happy because I had the lead for three days in a row and I don't want to give it away on the last day. I think I tried my best, but still, I won, so here I am!” said a jubilant Feng after receiving the winner’s trophy from HRH Princess Haya, who was accompanied by Her daughter, HH Sheikha Al Jalila Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, at the tournament’s prize ceremony.

This was Feng’s eighth professional victory and her second on the Ladies European Tour, after she won the World Ladies Championship in China in March. She was full of praise for the LET and added: “This looks like a major to me.
“I've always heard about it, that it's very nice. Finally I got a chance to play, and I like it, I like the golf course: of course, I shot 21 under!”

Feng said that she would celebrate by going to the mall and buying herself, her friend and her parents each a handbag. At the beginning of the week she had a wager with her compatriot Yu Yang Zhang, who tied for 24th, that if the young LET rookie recorded a top-10 to avoid a trip to next week’s Tour School, she would buy her a handbag. “I don't think she made the top 10 and she has to go back to Q School but I believe that she can make it anywhere,” said Feng, in a display of support.

The Netherland’s Schreefel was equally excited with her second place finish and said: “I played very well the whole tournament. It's been a consistent season and I felt if I just played my game, I can finish well out here, so I'm very happy.
“She was so far ahead that something had to happen to her game and I would have to go pretty low to make something happen. So it was actually nice because I could just concentrate on my own game and I thought I'm going to try and catch her, that's going to keep me going.”

One of the most dramatic storylines of the day was the tight final round duel for the ISPS Handa Order of Merit. Masson was in second position for much of the day and looked to have the advantage over Carlota Ciganda. However, after Masson triple bogeyed the 12th hole she never recovered and Ciganda took the title, with a tie for 10th place in the tournament.

“I'm very lucky and very happy to have won the Order of Merit,” said Ciganda. “I want to congratulate, also, Caroline, because she has been playing great.”

Omega Dubai Ladies Masters 5. - 8. desember:
Marianne Skarpnord og Caroline Martens er med denne uken.

Turneringen startet onsdag. Marianne Skarpnord åpnet med en ganske svak 75- runde. Hun har ikke spilt turneringer på en stund. Tre bogeyer og +3 gjør at hun er langt nede på listen og må trolig spille under 70 slag for å klare cutten - etter en grov vurdering tidlig på den første dagen og lenge før runden er ferdigspilt.

Caroline Martens åpnet lovende og var to under par etter 13 hull. Det var bra ikke minst med tanke på at hun åpnet med to bogeyer!

Opdatert: De siste hullene inneholdt en birdie og to bogeyer. Dermed ble det 71 slag (-1) og en 42. plass etter første dag. Marianne Skarpnord er nr 84.

Rapport fra LET:
Carlota Ciganda Romps to Victory in China
SUZHOU, CHINA, Sunday 28 October 2012 – Carlota Ciganda made a memorable first visit to China by notching her second title on the Ladies European Tour with a wire-to-wire victory at the Suzhou Taihu Open.
The 22-year-old LET rookie from Spain, who claimed her maiden win in Holland this June, yet again displayed her extraordinary talent by firing a bogey-free course record eight under par 64 in warm and hazy conditions at Suzhou Taihu International Golf Club.
She romped to a seven stroke victory with a tournament record 17 under par in the 54-hole event, going one stroke better than world no.1 Yani Tseng the previous year.
Ciganda seemed to be enjoying her status as the LET’s ISPS Handa order of merit leader and said it was the best golf she had ever played over three rounds. “I was just thinking about playing my game, having fun, and I liked the course from the beginning. I was playing good, I was confident and I think it’s one of those weeks that everything goes right and I was lucky. I was making putts, hitting to the fairway, hitting lots of greens and then Javi, my caddie, did a great job. He was very good with the shots. I think it was everything,” said Ciganda, who began the final round two strokes clear of Germany’s Caroline Masson after opening with rounds of 65 and 70.
Looking totally at ease, Ciganda continued her solid play on Sunday by opening with two birdies and picked up another on the par-five fifth, where she made two putts from the front of the green. She added a fourth birdie at the sixth hole, making an eight-foot putt to move six clear of Masson.
Ciganda then made three further birdies on 11, 14 and 15 before signing off with an impressive birdie on the 451-yard par five 18th hole. She her driver over the water hazard, struck a four-iron to 40 feet short of the flag and tapped her second putt in.
“This week I was very relaxed because I was trying to play my game, to go shot by shot and just thinking about my own game and not thinking about the others, because you can’t control what the others do so just try to have fun. I really like it here and I love golf so it was just one more day of golf,” she said, adding that she would celebrate by having dinner in the luxurious Taihu Golf Hotel with her caddie.
Masson admitted that she was effectively playing for second place all day, despite having shot three rounds in the 60s. She signed off with a three under 69 that included four birdies on the back-nine and said: “I played fine. I knew it was going to be tough to beat Carlota on this course. She played two solid rounds before and I think today, after a few holes, it was clear that it would be very difficult.
“I made a few birdies, made a few bogeys as well and couldn’t find my rhythm on the front nine. I played well on the back nine but she was already too far ahead so it’s just an amazing performance I think from her this week: 17 under, it’s really, really good and I played well. I’m happy with my performance.
“I was not sure I was going to play here until Monday because I had some trouble with my wrist so I think second place is a really good finish for me this week and I’m really, really happy with that.
“I was kind of relaxed from the start. I have been in this situation a few times now and I get more relaxed every time. I didn’t read the putts well on the front nine but maybe it helped when she was so far ahead. I was worried about finishing second, so I think after nine, seriously, I was just trying to be second.”
In tied third spot were France's Julie Greciet and England's Florentyna Parker with identical totals of six under 210.
It was a lucky day for Korean Bae In-ji who shot two eagles - on the 5th and 12th holes. "On the par 5, fifth hole, I hit the driver and 3-wood to seven yards off the pin, while on the par-4 12th hole I hit a driver and 4-wood," said Bae, who finished tied ninth.
China's Lin Xiyu was also in fine form, finishing best of the Chinese entries. The 16-year-old professional from Guangzhou finished with a 2-under 70 for a 54-hole total of 211 to be tied fifth with the 2010 champion Lee-Anne Pace, Patcharajutar Kongkraphan and Samantha Richdale.
"I'll try even better in Sanya next week as that is also my favourite course and I did well there the last two years," Lin said.

Rapport fra LET:

Catriona Matthew Queen of Killeen Castle

(Dunsany, Co. Meath, Ireland – Sunday 5th August 2012) - Scotland’s Solheim Cup star Catriona Matthew continued her love affair with Killeen Castle as she recorded a one stroke victory in the Ladies Irish Open supported by Fáilte Ireland.

Matthew could afford a bogey five on the final hole to seal the win with a three round total of 209, seven under par, after a second successive round of 71.

Her European Solheim Cup teammate Suzann Pettersen of Norway ended a stroke back after her second straight round of 69, with another Solheim Cup star, Laura Davies, three shots further behind in third.

The finishing holes provided drama in The 2011 Solheim Cup and it again proved the case as Pettersen pushed Matthew all the way on a warm and sunny afternoon mixed with showers in County Meath.

The 2011 event champion, Pettersen, began the final round three shots behind Matthew but was tied for the lead after 15, where she found the bunker left of the green with her second shot but made a crucial birdie putt from 20 feet.

After Matthew birdied the same hole, Pettersen made an eight foot birdie putt on the par-three 16th to stay level with Matthew, but she then dropped a shot on 17 after hitting her second shot into the bunker short of the green and missed a 20-foot putt.

There was a two shot swing when Matthew, playing in the last group behind Pettersen, holed a tricky five-footer to reach eight under with a hole to play.

Pettersen missed her downhill birdie putt on 18 and although Matthew dropped a shot, finding the bunker right, behind the green, two putts were enough to seal the win and the €52,500 first prize.

“I’m absolutely delighted,” said Matthew, claiming her fifth victory on the Ladies European Tour and her ninth in total. “It’s always difficult going out in the lead. I was just kind of trotting along there at seven under and saw Suzann making some birdies. I think she thought she was in The Solheim Cup again.

“I made a good birdie on 15 and then the one on 17 just gave a little bit of a cushion coming up the last, which was nice. I knew I had a two shot lead and I had seen what Suzann had done on 17 and 18 so I knew she was two behind so I reckoned I could make five from there.”

On her love affair with Killeen Castle, where she played a key role in Europe’s Solheim Cup victory in September, the World No.27 added: “I think it was always going to be difficult coming back here in a way with so many good memories being here. It could have worked either way but maybe I was a little bit inspired by some of my play from last year in The Solheim Cup.”

Pettersen was understandably disappointed with her finish after mounting a superb challenge. After dropping a shot on the sixth hole, she birdied three holes in a row and compensated for a bogey on 10 with a birdie on 13.

“I played good. I made a silly bogey on 17 and had to give it a go. I thought I could hit a very hard sand wedge and it was just a misjudgement of the wind. I made a run at it,” said Pettersen, the World No.6.

England’s Davies also made a final round charge with a 68 that contained seven birdies and three bogeys, despite suffering from a painful Achilles injury sustained whilst playing football three months ago. It was exacerbated when playing in the charity football match during the Evian Masters, but there will be no time to rest as Davies is teeing up in Toledo on the LPGA next week.

Another Englishwoman, Liz Bennett, was lying in joint third with Davies after 17 holes, but eventually signed for a 74 after slipping back into a share of ninth with four others after taking a costly triple bogey seven at the 18th.

Bennett lost her ball in the water hazard off the tee and then sent her approach shot through the back of the green, but despite that, there will be positives to take away from the tournament. Her putting has improved considerably since she installed a Huxley putting green in her back garden a week ago and will be one to watch at the forthcoming ISPS Handa Ladies British Masters in a fortnight.

England’s Curtis Cup winner Charley Hull is another player to watch and she ended in a share of 18th place, taking home the Philomena Garvey trophy as the leading amateur.

Caroline Martens misset cutten etter 78 76. Det var tre slag for mange. Marianne Skarpnord er nr 38 etter 73 75 og tre slag til gode på cutten.

Årsaken til at Tutta har gode seiersmuligheter med en god runde er at det ikke er mange som kjemper om seieren. Tutta er tre slag bak Catriona Matthew, men bare et slag bak de to på andreplass. Ned til 5. plassen er det to slag. En god avslutning kan gi seier til Tutta, hvis ingen av de i nærheten av henne får full klaff.

Masson magic wins SA Women’s Open
Michael Vlismas

PENNINGTON, KwaZulu-Natal (15 July 2012) – Germany’s Caroline Masson was remarkably composed on a brutal final day of the South African Women’s Open and went on to claim her maiden victory on the Ladies European Tour.
Masson closed with a bogey-free 70 to win on one-under-par 215, one stroke clear of South Africa’s Lee-Anne Pace and England’s Danielle Montgomery.
“I’m so happy. It was such a tough day with the wind,” Masson said of a round which was in doubt because of the gale force winds that battered the Selborne Park Golf Club from the early morning.
At its strongest the wind raged at 81 km/h, and forced a one-hour delay of the tee-off time.
And it was into these conditions that Masson threw her disappointments of several near misses in the past and her hope of a maiden title at last.
She birdied the par-five third for her only birdie of the day. But far more impressive was the fact that she didn’t drop a single shot.
“That was pretty good. I hung in there and made my pars. I got lucky a few times, and I had a few birdie chances but didn’t make those putts. But all in all I’m really happy with the way I played.”
Pace was determined to take advantage of the tough conditions and came close to forcing a play before missing her birdie putt on the 18th on her way to a 70 and a level-par finish.
Pace said: “I played really solid golf from the second round, and when the wind came up I knew I had a chance. I just stayed patient out there and made my pars.” Montgomery closed with a solid 72 to share second on that total.
South Africa’s Melissa Eaton-Jackson also impressed with the tournament low of 68 to climb to three over and a share of ninth.
But it was Masson who showed the greatest composure, leading from the first round on her way to a deserved victory.
“You have to keep patient in these conditions, which is not my strength to be honest. I had a few good chances to win before this, so I just kept focusing on playing my own game and not worrying too much about the leader boards.”
The win is also perfect timing, with the Evian Masters next up on the LET schedule. “I’m feeling very confident. I’ve been waiting for this for such a long time, and the middle of the year is great timing for a victory. It’s also nice to do it in South Africa. This is a beautiful country and we’re all really glad to have the tournament back here.”
As South Africa’s top-ranked player in the field and a key ambassador for this event, Pace echoed Masson’s sentiments: “I think it’s fantastic for South African woman’s golf to have this tournament back here. It’s very exciting times, and all the Europeans are talking about coming back. It’s really good stuff for South Africa.”
The Jackie Mercer Trophy for the leading amateur went to South Africa’s Bertine Strauss, who finished on 12 over par with rounds of 78, 72 and 78.

Melissa Reid records emotional victory in Prague

England’s Melissa Reid held her overnight lead to record an emotional victory at the Raiffeisenbank Prague Golf Masters on Sunday.

Reid, playing in her first tournament back since the tragic death of her mother, Joy, in a car accident in Germany four weeks previously, maintained her composure right until she holed her winning putt on 18.

Needing to hole a six-footer for par to seal a one stroke victory over Italian Diana Luna, she calmly rolled it in before letting the tears flow and being embraced by friends and fellow competitors on the 18th green.

“To be honest I wasn’t that nervous. I think with something like what’s happened to my family and me the last four weeks nothing really seems that difficult anymore,” said Reid, who finished on a nine under par total of 207, after rounds of 68, 67 and 72. “I spoke to my coach when I went back a couple of weeks after and he said to me, ‘I don’t know when it’s going to be, but this will make you a stronger person,’ and my best friends have said that as well and I honestly think it will.

“It will make me fight and nothing will seem as bad as what I’ve been through, so yeah, I actually felt very calm and I knew I was going to hole the putt on 18.”

Reid started the final round with a one shot lead over Italian Stefania Croce and had a shaky front nine with a bogey at the third for an outward total of one over 37.

However, she fought off the challenge of several other contenders with two birdies at holes 12 and 17 against one bogey at the 14th on the back nine.

Tied for the lead with Croce, Australian Rachel Bailey, Frenchwoman Joanna Klatten and Italian Diana Luna at various points during the day, most fell back down the stretch, playing in a tricky, swirling breeze, but under sunny skies.

Bailey (66) ended in a share of third with England’s Rebecca Hudson (71), while Klatten (67) and Australian Stacey Keating (72) tied for fifth. Croce had a 77 and slipped back into a share of 16th.

Luna moved a stroke ahead at nine under after Reid missed a short putt on 14, but then the Italian three-putted from long range on 16 to draw level again.

Tied for the lead with Luna after 16 holes, Reid birdied 17 just as Luna had posted the clubhouse lead at eight under and the supporting gallery sent out a jubilant roar across the Albatross Golf Resort.

“I would say it’s the toughest hole on the golf course and I hadn’t really been committing that much all the way round. I probably got a little bit tense and was wanting to win a little bit too much,” Reid said. “Literally Johnny, my caddie, just said, ‘let this one go’ and I absolutely nailed it down the middle, stiffed a 52 and then the same on 18. I hit a pretty good drive, got a bit unlucky and then hit a great second shot on 18 too actually: it just went on a little bit too much. I’m very happy to win.

“I just putted really bad. I got a little bit unlucky and got a few bad kicks on my drives but all in all, I didn’t hit it that bad really, I hit it about average, but I just didn’t hole anything until pretty much 17 and 18 which were the only two putts I holed really, so it was just nice to do it in that way and I’m just over the moon I’ve won.”

This was Reid’s first competitive event since the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open six weeks previously. She was due to play at the UniCredit Ladies German Open presented by Audi before her parents, who were visiting the event to watch her compete, were injured in a car accident on the Tuesday evening and her mother passed away the following day.

On collecting her fourth LET victory, Reid added: “Obviously it’s very special with what the family and stuff has been through the last four weeks, so you know, hopefully, obviously it is good news to the family and will bring a smile on our faces at such a horrible time, so it means a lot.”

This was the first time that Reid had won a tournament having led going into the final round.

She will now return home to the UK before competing at the US Women’s Open in a fortnight’s time.

Carly Booth wins second LET title in three-way play-off


Scotland’s Carly Booth won a three-way play-off against German duo Anja Monke and Caroline Masson with an eagle on the fourth extra hole at the Deutsche Bank Ladies Swiss Open.

Booth, who will turn 20 next week, said that she couldn’t have asked for a better early birthday present as she collected her second title in six weeks, following on from her maiden win in Scotland in early May.

Booth posted a final round 68 in regulation to reach 12 under par 276 in total on a sizzling hot day at Golf Gerre Losone in Ticino and birdied the par-five 18th hole three times in the play-off before sinking her 10 foot eagle putt to win and claim the €78,750 first prize.

“I’m overwhelmed; speechless. I’m lost for words; so happy,” Booth said.

“It was tough. We birdied three out of three and I was thinking, someone’s going to have to eagle to win this. I hit a perfect drive every time and then 5-iron onto the green to about 10 foot and just holed it so it was perfect.

“I was just trying to hit a positive putt. I wasn’t trying to think about it and I think with having the experience of winning previously in the Scottish I had grasped the feeling of trying to stay calm and positive.”

Booth jumped high into the air and punched her fist towards the sky before hugging her boyfriend, European Tour player Tano Goya, who was caddying, for, ‘the first and last week.’ Goya said that he would retire from his caddying career with a win.

“He was tremendous help. It was amazing to have him and it’s a shame that he can’t be on my bag more often because he’s playing as well on the men’s tour,” Booth said, adding that her confidence had been boosted massively by her recent home win.

She had struggled in her first two years on tour since turning professional at 17 and returned to qualifying school at the beginning of 2012, but has made huge strides this year since winning on the LET Access Series and then on the main tour in Scotland.

“I’ve been playing very well in practice and I think it was just getting the confidence to take it into the tournament rounds and having that win has really made me feel like I can win, so it was a great thing to do, especially at the start of the year. I said to myself after the Scottish, I’m going to try to get two wins before my 20th and I just did it,” she said with a grin.

With her win, Booth now moves to the top of the ISPS Handa Order of Merit with earnings of just over €124,000 from seven events this season and is €20,000 clear of second placed Christel Boeljon.

Anne-Lise Caudal wins play-off in Germany
Anne-Lise Caudal defeated Laura Davies with a birdie at the second extra hole of a sudden-death play-off to capture the UniCredit Ladies German Open presented by Audi on the outskirts of Munich on Sunday.

On a glorious final day of sunshine, which brought record number of spectators to Golfpark Gut Häusern, both players started the day two strokes behind a trio of leaders and carded matching final rounds of five under par 67 to finish on 13 under par 275 after four rounds of regulation play.

After heading back to the tee at the 519 yard / 475 metre par-five 18th both players made pars on the at their first extra hole.

At the second time of asking, Davies’ birdie putt from four metres fell just short and low of the hole, clearing the way for Caudal to roll in her birdie putt from around three metres and secure the double first prize of €52,500 and an Audi A5 cabriolet car.

“I can’t believe it yet. It was an amazing week this week after a tough first round, plus two: a lot of emotion right now,” said Caudal, who claimed her second Ladies European Tour title following the 2008 Portugal Ladies Open.

This was her second play-off experience after she was defeated by Rebecca Hudson at the Tenerife Ladies Open, the week after her victory in 2008 and she explained how she kept her composure by focusing on her breathing.

“I was pretty confident with my wedge. I had a wedge in my hand to hit to the pin and I just breathed a lot and tried to calm down because my heart was pretty fast. I just breathed and believed in what I’m doing,” she said.

Caudal recorded a three under par outward nine with birdies at holes one, two, six and eight. Her only blemish was a bogey on the seventh. She fired additional birdies at the 10th and 11th and had a long birdie chance on 18 to win in regulation play.

Davies carded six birdies and dropped two shots, one at a crucial moment. Having carded back-to back birdies at 14 and 15, where she hit her tee shot to three feet and almost won an Audi R8 sports car, she three-putted the 16th to drop one behind the leader. She then sank an eight-footer for birdie on 18 to keep her title hopes alive.

“I played really well and I spoke to my mum this morning and said if I shoot 66 I think I’ll win and I was one short of that and Anne-Lise beat me in the play-off, so at least we knew what we had to do and nearly did it,” Davies said.

“I played great. The only downside was that three-putt on 16: I think if I just two-putted 16 I might have won but who knows. If Anne-Lise had to birdie the last to make the play-off she would have done.

“It’s a cruel playoff to lose really, because not only do you lose the money, you lose the sub prize of a car which is very unusual on the European Tour so for whoever wins this tournament, it’s a really special win. It’s like a double hit, but Anne-Lise deserves it.”

England’s Rebecca Hudson finished in third place at 11 under after a final round of 71, with Bree Arthur, Trish Johnson and Felicity Johnson, who shot the week’s low-round of 64, two strokes further back at nine under. After a brilliant performance Felicity Johnson had a chance to tie the tournament record of 63 but unfortunately dropped a shot with a three-putt bogey on the 18th green.

Parker had a chance to force a play-off with a 40-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole but missed it. Booth secured her par and with it, her maiden Ladies European Tour victory.

Rapport fra LET:
Big move for Skarpnord on day of dramatic weather
Norway’s Marianne Skarpnord vaulted up to pole position on the leader board at the Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco on Friday with a second round of six under par 65.

The 26-year-old from Sarpsborg, who won twice on the Ladies European Tour in 2009, moved to seven under par at Golf de l’Ocean in Agadir after strong winds and the threat of lightning delayed the start of play by five hours.

Skarpnord wasted little time after starting from the first tee at 1.50pm. She picked up five birdies and dropped just one shot on the front nine, before adding three more birdies and just one blemish on the back.

A solid birdie on the par-three 16th gave her a one stroke advantage over first round co-leader Jade Schaeffer, who was happy to be in the clubhouse with a two under par round of 69 just before play ended for the day due to darkness at 6.44pm.

Skarpnord took four months out from the game last year with a back injury and has since struggled to find the form that saw her finish fourth on the 2009 LET money list.

Despite striking the ball well, the putts haven’t been dropping - until now. Conveniently, her boyfriend, European Tour player Richard Green, who is competing in the Hassan Trophy a mile along the road at Golf du Palais this week, was on hand to offer a putting lesson after the first round.

“Greenie was here last night and helped me a bit. I was a bit frustrated,” Skarpnord said. “He helped me a bit and he’s got a theory on what he feels works and I’m trying that out and hopefully it will work at the end of the day.”

Another contributing factor could be that her caddie, Brian Shezi, is reading the lines on the greens and Skarpnord added: “To be honest I’ve been hitting the ball awesome for a few months now, I just haven’t made any putts. I’ve really been struggling with the putting so the game from tee to green has been there for a long time, it’s just I haven’t made anything and it’s really destroyed everything. When you putt bad for so long it just affects your game.”

French 25-year-old Schaeffer, who claimed her second LET title at the Prague Golf Masters in September, felt that she was in the ideal position on the leader board.

“Now maybe I prefer my situation because I’m just one shot behind Marianne Skarpnord and I attack now: I hope!” she said. “I have a good feeling with this course and with my game and I try always to win, but we’ll see.”

Conditions changed completely from morning to afternoon as the winds died down and temperatures dropped but it was still an exhausting day for the early starters who had been at the course since 7am.

Spanish rookie Carlota Ciganda and Sweden’s Linda Wessberg were both in the clubhouse having ended on four under, while Frenchwoman Valentine Derrey and Ireland’s Rebecca Codd both finished on three under par.

Wessberg made a number of impressive recovery shots from impossible positions during her round – notably a five-iron approach shot from behind a bush to one feet on the 392-yard par-four 14th. “It was very much up and down today but I’m very happy,” she said. “I had a double on the sixth and made five birdies coming in.”

Codd was also happy to be in with the chance of a later start on Saturday after enduring a day of weather extremes.

“It was relatively calm in comparison to this morning,” she explained. “The most wind we had was probably one club and a half. It kept dropping to nothing and then it would gust up again.

“I got cold with four holes to play. If I had a jacket I would have put it on. When we started it was so hot. It’s been a really long day so I need some food now I think!”

She admitted to struggling a little with her short game but was happy with a round of level par 71.

“I feel good, I like the course and I’m hitting the ball pretty good so sharpen up a bit on the short game and we’ll see what happens,” she said.

England’s Eleanor Givens was enjoying a stellar start to her professional career in a share of second place on six under par along with French first-round co-leader Julie Maisongrosse with three holes of her second round to play. Givens, who graduated from Tour School in January, had five birdies and no dropped shots on Friday, setting up an intriguing prospect for the weekend.

The second round will resume at 7.30am on Saturday following which there will be a halfway cut to the leading 60 professionals and those tied for 60th place.

Sjelden at damer og herrer spiller på samme sted
Marianne Skarpnord spiller like ved den banen kjæresten Richard Green spiller på Europa Touren sammen med alle de andre gutta på ET deriblant Knut Børsheim. Det er uhyre sjelden at LET og ET spille ri nærheten av hverandre. Det gir en sjelden sjanse for Marianne Skarpnord og Richard Green til å være sammen når de spiller turneringer samme uke. Spennende å se hvordan det slår ut.

Lene Krog får være med til tross for svak ranking. Hvor mange av våre fire norske spillere klarer cutten? Marianne er det beste kortet på papiret. Vi får håpe på de andre også.

Bare Marianne videre på New Zealand
Marianne Skarpnord, Caroline Martens og Cecilie Lundgreen startet i konkurransen. Bare Marianne før spille den siste runden.

Cecilie Lundgreen hadde hele åtte birdier, men et par dobbelbogeyer viser at hun er svært ustabil slik at runden bare ble på 81 slag. Det var et slag for mye til å gå videre da hun hadde 78 i banken fra den første runden.

Caroline Martens fikk det ikke til å stemme lørdag og gikk på 82 slag. Det ble ned 41 plasser til 89. plass.

Marianne Skarpnord klarte å komme videre etter to runder på 73 slag. Hun er nr 49.

UKE 5


Nederlandske Christel Boeljon, her med trofeet fra sin seier i Australia i natt  

05.02 LET - Australia:
Marianne Skarpnord med grei gjennomkjøring
Marianne Skarpnord spilte fir jevne runder. Vinneren spurtet friskt og vant med to slag til slutt.

Marianne avsluttet med 71 slag og ble nr 44. Fire jevne runder. Det var så vidt hun kom med i helgen på siste slaget. Fint å få spille alle fire rundene. Nå kan hun begynne å arbeide seg oppover på listene.

Rapport fra LET:

Boeljon wins Gold Coast RACV Australian Ladies Masters
Christel Boeljon of the Netherlands came from three strokes behind overnight leader So Yeon Ryu to claim a one stroke victory at the Gold Coast RACV Australian Ladies Masters.

A final-hole birdie from around five feet meant the European Solheim Cup player earned her second Ladies European Tour victory with rounds of 66, 65, 68, and 68 for a 21-under-par 72-hole total at the par 72, 5954 Metre RACV Royal Pines course on the Gold Coast in Queensland.

Meanwhile a level par round of 72 saw Ryu, the US Women’s Open champion, slip into a share of second with Diana Luna and Ha-Neul Kim, who both shot 67.

Two days ago the talk at Royal Pines was who was going to catch Ryu, after the reigning US Open champion fired off an eleven under 61 giving her a commanding four shot lead heading into the weekend.

But the 21-year-old, who admitted to being tired after her 61, struggled over the final 36-hole stretch posting just seven birdies and four bogeys in the last two days.

Boeljon, 24, remained composed throughout. Playing with new clubs, Boeljon shot four under on both Saturday and Sunday, not once appearing intimidated by Ryu’s credentials or the situation.

Sharing the lead with Ryu down the final stretch, the Dutchwoman was able to make two brilliant up and downs on holes 15 and 16 to importantly stay in the lead with the South Korean.

Again as she headed up 18 there were four players all on 20 under, and Boeljon knew a birdie on the par-five final hole would do it. After reaching the green in two and with Ryu in the greenside trap, Boeljon left her eagle putt 1.5 metres short.

“My first putt, I was not really happy: it was a bit far away for my liking,” she told ABC TV.

Ryu flew her bunker shot way over the pin leaving her a very long birdie putt.

“I was better make a two putt and birdie and then it might be mine,” Boeljon said. “It’s not over ‘till it’s over. I am really happy I finished with a birdie and it’s unbelievable.”


Gwladys Nocera raced up the leader board firing off a superb eight under 64 to finish her tournament on 18 under. An eagle on the par -five third and a string of four birdies on the last five holes gave the Frenchwoman outright fifth place.

England’s Felicity Johnson and South Korea’s Bo-Mee Lee shared sixth on 15 under, while Lindsey Wright and Nikki Campbell were the only two Australians to finish in the top ten, tying with American Danielle Kang in eighth place on 13 under.

After a great third round of nine under 63, Sydney’s Frances Bondad dropped out of the top ten following a disappointing final round of two over 74. She finished the tournament in a tie for 15th on 11 under with several players including American teenager, 16 year-old Lexi Thompson.

New Zealand amateur Lydia Ko, 14, who stated all week her aim was just to make the cut, tied for 32nd and took out leading amateur honours with a four round total of six under.

Next week the players will head south to play in the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open at Royal Melbourne.

LIVE Score



03.02 LET - Australia:
So Yeon Ryu imponerte på det våte underlaget
Sør-Korea har fire blant de 13 beste på listen halvveis i Australia. Marianne Skarpnord og Cecilie Lundgreen gikk på 71 slag begge to.

Marianne Skarpnord var ikke spesielt god på banens første ni hull med tre bogeyer og 39 slag. Bogey hadde hun også på det 10. hullet. Men fem birdier på banens siste åtte hull sikret videre spill med minste mulige margin.

Cecilie Lundgreen hadde et håpløst utgangspunkt med 78 slag første dag. Ikke for det

So Weon Ryu, som vant US Open i fjor spilte rundt på 61 slag og leder suverent. Nederlandske Christel Boeljon avsluttet birdie, birdie eagle og er nr 2 - fire slag bak. Førsterundelederen Bo-Mee-Lee følger deretter med tres lag mer enn nederlenderen.

LIVE Score

Her er rapport fra Australia:

Reigning US Open Champion, So Yeon Ryu set two records at the Gold Coast RACV Ladies Masters today but unfortunately neither feat will be given official status.
Due to the soaking the course has received over the past week, players have been able to take preferred lies, and altered playing conditions means the records won’t stand.
Ryu’s first record was equalling Karrie Webb’s round of 11-under 61 and her second was posting the lowest 36 hole score of 17-under par 127 on the Ladies European Tour (LET). The Gold Coast RACV Masters is co-sanctioned with the LET.

Not that Ryu was too upset at missing out on the record books. She will most likely be busy tonight remarking her golf balls. At present she marks it with “62” to represent her career low round, but now she will be changing it to “61.” ”I really wanted to change the number, finally I can change the number,” she said.

“The last shot I was really, really nervous, but I made it, so I’m really, really happy, and now I’m really looking forward to the last two rounds.”

Lack of official recognition aside, it was a remarkable score by the 21-year-old who could have shot one shot less had she not bogeyed her second hole of the day. Still it was enough to give her a sizeable four shot lead over Dutchwoman Christel Boeljon who is on 13- under 131, heading into the weekend.

Boeljon finds herself in outright second courtesy of a blistering birdie, birdie, eagle finish. The 24-year-old sunk a 15-metre eagle putt on the 430m par 5 18th to end her round in style. “It’s a great feeling, great way to end my round, so you know, what do you do? You take it every day,” she said.




Nederlandske Christel Boeljon, her med trofeet fra Turkish Airlines Ladies Open i mai 2011, blandet seg i den sørkoreanske tetstriden torsdag

02.02 LET - Australia:
Bo-Mee Lee best i starten
Sør-Korea preget toppen av resultatlisten første dag i Australia. Svak, norsk dag i sesongpremieren.

16 år gamle Lexi Thompson hadde fem birdier på sin 67 runde og lå på 5. plass.

14-åringen som vant en turnering i forrige uke, amatøren Lydia Ko, NZ, gikk på 70 slag og var nr 22.

Men i teten lå Bo-Mee Lee med sine 7 birdier på 65 runden. So Yeon Ryu og Hee Kyung Seo delte andreplassen med Christel Boeljon, Nederland.

Marianne Skarpnord hadde to birdier og to bogeyer på sin runde på par=72 og 62. plass. 

Cecilie Lundgreen kom med i turneringen, men 78 slag var for svakt. Hun er nr 130 blant de 141 spillerne i feltet.
