Valentine Derrey
France’s Valentine Derrey produced an impressive final round of 67, to win the Terre Blanche Ladies Open at Terre Blanche Resort, by an impressive eight shots.
Derrey was delighted to win for the second time in her home country. The Frenchwoman won the 2014 Open Generali de Dinard in the same year she was also a winner on the LET, claiming the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open at National Golf club in Antalya.
“Great, I just played great,” Derrey said. “I played my game, I hit some good shots to the pin and I made some birdies on the front nine and then just played steady on the back nine, didn’t miss a lot of shots. It’s always tough to win at home and I did it.”
Fellow countrywoman Sophie Giquel-Bettan tied for 2nd place alongside Mireia Prat of Spain. The Frenchwoman produced the low round of the week with her final day 66, to finish at 4 under par and a 212 total.
Prat produced her best performance on the LETAS since winning twice during the 2014 season to earn her LET card for the following year.
Four players tied for 4th place at three under par. Norway’s Tonje Daffinrud (75), Klara Spilkova (72) of the Czech Republic, Spain’s Elia Folch (75) and Frenchwoman Agathe Sauzon (74).
