Australian Ladies Masters golf: Boeljon pips Ryu for title in Australia
CHRISTEL Boeljon of the Netherlands came from three strokes behind overnight leader So Yeon Ryu to claim a one-shot 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 RACV Royal Pines course on the Gold Coast in Queensland.
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.
Gwladys Nocera, the former Scottish Ladies’ Open champion, raced up the leaderboard, firing off a superb eight-under 64 to finish fifth on 18-under.
Scotland’s Kylie Walker made an encouraging start to her season by finishing in the top 15. The two-time St Rule Trophy winner closed with rounds of 66 and 69 for a total 277, 13 shots less than compatriot Clare Queen.
