Battling Brewerton sees off Ciganda in Tenerife
TENERIFE LADIES MATCH PLAY: Wales' Becky Brewerton fended off the challenge of Spanish rookie Carlota Ciganda to win the Tenerife Ladies Match Play title.
Brewerton, 28, beat Australian Kristie Smith and England's Laura Davies in the matchplay stages of the tournament on Friday and Saturday, and shot 68 in the strokeplay final yesterday to secure the top prize worth 35,300. That round bettered by one shot the scores posted by 21-year-old Pamplona newcomer Ciganda, who was making her professional debut, and 27-year-old Australian Nikki Garrett.
Brewerton had to wait after completing her round to see whether Ciganda or Garrett could birdie the par-five last to force a tie, but Ciganda found water and Garrett missed a 15-foot putt. Their pars gave the title to Brewerton, who added to her 2007 English Open and 2009 Spanish Open wins. England's Rebecca Hudson was fourth after a round of 70, with Brewerton's fellow Welsh player Lydia Hall a shot further back in fifth place.
