AZAHARA BOWS OUT WITH VICTORY IN

FIRST ALL-SPANISH BRITISH FINAL

Azahara Munoz from Malaga, playing in the tournament for the last time before turning professional, won the 107th Ladies British Open amateur championship under blue skies and brilliant sunshine this afternoon at the Royal St David’s Golf Club links, Harlech in North Wales.
The 21-year-old, who won the British girls title at Lanark in 2004, beat her 19-year-old compatriot, Carlota Ciganda from Pamplona, by 2 and 1 in the first all-Spanish final in the tournament’s history.
The pair had dominated the tournament, heading the match-play qualifiers with eight-under-par totals of 138. Ciganda’s better second round had earned her the No 1 seeding role, and Munoz the No 2 berth.
So the erstwhile Arizona State University team-mates – Azahara graduated after four years last month – were on course to meet in the final from the start.
Munoz, who had been five under par in winning her morning semi-final against Caroline Masson (Germany), was three under par at the finish of a final which was studded with 11 birdies.

In the morning semi-finals, the sole surviving British player in the last four, Bedfordshire’s Laura Collin (John O’Gaunt), 22-year-old daughter of Eyemouth-born Alistair Collin who played for Scotland boys at a time when Sandy Lyle was playing for England’s boys, put up a very good show before losing by 2 and 1 to Carlota Ciganda.
Laura was two up after eight holes and was not pulled back to all square until her Spanish opponent birdied the long 15th. Ciganda then promptly won the 16th with a birdie and the 17th with a par for the match!
Collin was level par for the 17 holes while Ciganda was two under par.
Azahara Munoz was an impressive five under par – six birdies, one bogey – in beating
Germany’s Caroline Masson by 4 and 3 in the second semi-final. Caroline, a student at Oklahoma State and a Junior Solheim Cup player, was herself one under par for the 15 holes played.
Saturday results:
Semi-final – Carlota Ciganda (Spain) bt Laura Collin (John O’Gaunt) 2 and 1, Azahara Munoz (Spain) bt Caroline Masson (Germany) 4 and 3.
Final (18 holes) – Munoz bt Ciganda 2 and 1.

Ciganda v Munoz in first all-Spanish

final of Ladies British Open amateur

This afternoon’s 18-hole final of the Ladies British open amateur championship over the Royal St David’s Golf club links at Harlech, North Wales will be contested by two Spanish players, the No 1 seed Carlota Ciganda, a 19-year-old from Pamplona, and the No 2 seed, Azahara Munoz, a 21 year-old from Malaga.
All several Spaniards have won the title in recent years, include Carlota herself in 2007 at Alwoodley, when she was only 17, this is the first all-Spanish final in the history of the tournament.
European champion Ciganda by no means had things all her own way against Laura Collin (John O’Gaunt), the 22-year-old former Bedfordshire champion, before winning by 2 and 1.
Ciganda was two under par and Collin level par for the 17 holes of an absorbing match.
Azahara Munoz, winner of the British girls championship at Lanark in 2004, is playing in the Ladies British open amateur championship for the last time – she is to turn professional after next month’s US Women’s Open for which she has accepted an invitation to compete as an amateur.
She produced her best golf since the qualifying rounds in beating Caroline Masson from Ladbeck Germany by 4 and 3 with five-under-par figures.
Laura Collin lost only one hole over the outward half against Carlota Ciganda who won the second with a par 4.
Collin squared with a birdie 4 at the long third and went three up with a par at the fourth and an eagle 3 at the long fifth.
Out in one-under-par 36, the English girl was one up on the Spanish No 1 seed who turned in one-over-par 38.
Ciganda won her second hole of the semi-final at the 10th which Collin bogeyed to be only one up.
The next four holes (11th to 14th) were halved in par-par-birdie-par figures as Collin hung on to her narrow lead.
Ciganda got back on level terms for the first time since she fell behind at the sixth by birdieing the long 15th.
The Spanish player made it back-to-back birdies with a 3 at the 16th to go one up.
Ciganda won a third hole in a row with a par at the 17th for a 2 and 1 victory.
Azahara Munoz played some sparkling golf to reach the turn in four-under-par 33 and be four up on Carline Masson.
Azahara birdied the second to lead and, when Masson bogeyed the fifth, a par was good enough to see Munoz double her lead.
A birdie 3 put Munoz three up butr Masson countered with a birdie of her own – a 4 at the long seventh, to be only two down.
But Munoz surged four up with a birdie 4 at the eighth and a birdie 2 at the ninth where the Spanish player almost had a hole in one. Her tee shot lipped out and came to rest a foot away from the flagstick.
Masson scored her second success of the match with a par 3 at the short 11th to cut her deficit to three holes.
The German player got another one back, thanks to a birdie 4 at the 13th.
Munoz went three up for a third time in the match with her second birdie 2, this one at the 14th.
Another birdie – her sixth of the round – by Munoz at the long 15th finished the match with a 4 and 3 margin in her favour.
Masson, although beaten, was one under par for the 15 holes.

Lotta good golf puts Wahlin a shot ahead in Portugal

FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Sweden’s Lotta Wahlin grabbed the first round lead at the Portugal Ladies Open with a four-under 68 at Golden Eagle Residence and Golf in Rio Maior.
The two-time LET winner carded six birdies and two bogeys on a hot day north of Lisbon.
Becky Brewerton, Iben Tinning, Caroline Afonso and Carmen Alonso were equal second on three-under 69.
Welsh Solheim Cup star Brewerton birdied four of her first nine holes, with another birdie on the 13th. However she bogeyed her final two holes of the day.
She was joined by fellow Solheim Cup player Tinning of Denmark, who carded six birdies and three bogeys.
France’s Afonso and Alonso from Spain played earlier in the day, but their scores held up over the afternoon as the rest of the 108 player field completed their rounds.
Brewerton, the 2007 Ladies English Open champion, said that her game suited Golden Eagle.
“It played exceptionally long today because of the wind so I thought I had a bit of an advantage there. I was hitting it a long way off the tee which was making it a lot easier. I was very happy. I said after the practise round it suits me down to the ground,” she said.
Denmark’s Iben Tinning
“It’s all carry and the bunkers are at the front of most of the greens so you can’t run it in: you have to carry it onto the green all the way to the pin. A couple of the par fives I could get on in two; which I didn’t think I would be able to. I even hit a driver off the fairway on one hole so it worked out well.”
There are just six tournaments left in which players can qualify for a place on Europe’s Solheim Cup team, set to face the Americans at Rich Harvest Farms in Illinois from August 21-23. Brewerton is keen to represent Europe on the team for the second time, while Tinning is equally keen to make her fifth appearance at the event.
“The Solheim Cup is always on my mind,” said Tinning, the 2005 LET money list winner, who has played in the last four Solheim Cups. “It is hard to get in the team but I will try.”
Afonso, a second season tour pro, is leading for the first time since her debut event on the LET at the Spanish Open last year. Her score included six birdies and three bogeys.
Caroline Afonso from France
The Portuguese have adopted her as one of their own this week because she is half Portuguese. Although born in Quimper, France, her father Antonio is from Portugal.
“I am proud to be French and Portuguese because of my origins,” said Afonso, who even speaks a little Portuguese. “My start today was not particularly good but after I recovered my form I was very happy. It was good putting, driving and chipping.”
Alonso, playing in her fifth season on tour, fired three straight birdies from the fifth with another at the 10th but dropped a shot at the 11th.
“The secret was putting the ball in play,” said the long hitter. “This golf course is in really good shape and if you put it in play you have many chances to make birdie.
“I hit 12 fairways today and it’s good. Now I think I hit it like, 300 yards on average, or maybe a little more. I practised a lot this winter in the gym and I think my ball is going a little but further than last year, like 10 or 15 yards. With the driver it’s like one club. It’s a lot. I’m happy with my game and I keep working hard.”
Four players share sixth place on 70 after the opening round. They are current European No.1 Marianne Skarpnord from Norway, Austrian Nicole Gergely, Beth Allen from the United States and the defending champion, Anne-Lise Caudal from France.
Caudal said: “I’m happy. I played well today and was very relaxed. I think I’m going to keep it going over the weekend.”
Eight played tied for tenth position on 71 including Germany’s Martina Eberl and the two time event champion Cecilia Ekelundh from Sweden, who won in Portugal in 2004 and 2005.

Anna Nordqvist leads LPGA

Championship at halfway

Anna Nordqvist, winner of the Ladies' British open amateur championship at North Berwick this week last year, birdied her final hole to take a one-shot lead at the halfway point of the McDonald's LPGA Championship in Havre de Grace, Maryland.
The Swede began the second round at Bulle Rock Golf Course on six under par, one shot behind overnight leader Nicole Castrale but started strongly with a birdie on the 10th, her first hole of the day.
Nordqvist, pictured by Cal Carson Golf Agency, made further birdies on the 15th and 17th to improve to eight under before dropping a bogey on the 18th.
The Swede made another bogey on the fourth but birdied the ninth to complete a two-under-par 70, which put her on eight-under 136 for the tournament.
After also teeing off on the back nine, Castrale made a poor start with a double bogey and bogey on her first five holes.
But the American recovered with a birdie on the 16th and made two more on her back nine for a level-par 72, which left her alone in second on seven under.
Kent-born Australian Lindsey Wright fired a four-under 68 to join Australian compatriot Katherine Hull (69) in a tie for third on six under with the Korean trio of Hee-Won Han (69), Na Yeon Choi (71) and Kyeong Bae (69) tied for fifth a further shot back.
Another Korean, Jin Young Pak, shot a 71 to join Americans Stacy Lewis and Kristy McPherson in a tie for eighth on four under while world number one Lorena Ochoa carded a 69 to reach the halfway point on three under.

California dreaming .... Cool Kim Welch leads

by two at halfway stage of Futures title chase

NEWS RELEASE FOR US DURAMED FUTURES TOUR
She only had two highlights on her first 10 holes, and she needed an abundance of patience when the birdie putts flirted, but wouldn't drop.
Still, Kim Welch, the cool Californian in silk scarves and sporty shades, got as excited as a laid-back NoCal woman can get when she grabbed the lead in Friday's second round of the $125,000 Michelob ULTRA Duramed FUTURES Players Championship.
Welch carded a 3-under-par score of 69 to take a two-shot lead at 137 (-7) after 36 holes at Hickory Point Golf Club in the Tour's only major championship and only 72-hole event. But the fourth-year professional knew better than to spend any energy prematurely.
"I think I've played pretty strong for the first two days, but seven under is not good enough to win this thing," said Welch, a 2008 tournament winner from Sacramento, Calif. "I have to keep going lower and lower. Crazy would be nice, but three to four under every day is just solid golf."
Welch rolled in her first birdie from 35 feet on the par-3 fourth hole, and then saved par with a "fried-egg" buried lie in a bunker on the 10th hole. But the current LPGA Tour member finally got it rolling on the back nine with three birdies and one bogey, hitting 12 greens in regulation and ending her round with a 15-footer for birdie on the 18th to take the morning lead.
By day's end at this 25th annual tournament, that lead held and three players were nipping at her heels at 5-under 139. That trio was comprised of Christi Cano (70) of San Antonio, Ashley Prange (69) of Noblesville, Ind., and Lisa Ferrero (70) of Lodi, Calif.
Since last year's event, Hickory Point has undergone major bunker renovations, which Cano says has worked to her advantage this week. And while the 6,594-yard course is no pushover, without the wind that blew in the first round, the course wasn't as punitive as it has been in past years to wayward tee shots.
"I play a draw, so it seems that a lot of the fairway bunkers they took out used to be in my landing area," said Cano, who had two birdies in her bogey-free round today. "What's really different is there's not a lot going on in front of the greens, so you can be aggressive. It's just a matter of getting the right yardage and swinging away."
But free swinging for the greens was something that didn't happen for first-round leader Sofie Andersson (74) of Angelholm, Sweden, who slid into a tie for ninth at 141 (-3), or for rookie Amanda Blumenherst (76) of Scottsdale, Ariz., who dropped from a tie for second into a tie for 34th at even-par 144.
"It was not a good day and I was unsure of my swing," said the former Duke University All-American, who is making her pro debut this week. "I started hitting it left and didn't make any putts on the front nine holes."
Ditto for Andersson, who posted three bogeys and a single birdie in today's second round.
"Today was a completely different day than yesterday," said the Swede. "All I can say is, we have two more rounds."
Prange, a two-time Tour winner, credits switching over from a traditional putter to a belly putter for her renewed effectiveness with the flat stick. She needed only 26 putts today and got up and down for par six of seven times.
"When I missed a green today, I made a good recovery," said Prange, appearing in her fifth tournament in Decatur. "It's usually a putting contest out here anyway and in the past, that has been my weakness. Now, my putting is a strength."
Ferrero carded three birdies and one bogey in today's round, climbing from a share of fifth into a tie for second. The former LPGA Tour member benefited from sparkling iron play that rendered 16 greens in regulation, albeit a balky putter that needed 32 strokes.
"I'm fine with where I am," said the Californian, who is still seeking her first professional win. "Any time you're within two shots of the leader, you're in good shape and we have two more days."
Three shots off the lead in a tie for fifth at 140 (-4) are Sophia Sheridan (69) of Guadalajara, Mexico, 2007 tournament runner-up Onnarin Sattayabanphot (70) of Bangkok, Thailand, Gina Umeck (70) of Redlands, Calif., and Kylene Pulley (70) of Kokomo, Ind.
Seventy-four players made the 36-hole cut at 146 (+2).
Saturday's third round will begin at 7:50 a.m., off the first tee only. The tournament leaders will tee off at 11:50 a.m.
