England’s Liz Young won the Women’s Indian Open by one shot to claim her second Ladies European Tour title.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 42-year-old trailed compatriot Alice Hewson and Belgium’s Manon de Roey at the DLF Golf and Country Club in Haryana before carding a final-round 72 to finish two under par overall on Sunday. <\/p>\n
De Roey went round in 74 to finish one shot behind Young and tie for second with Singapore’s Shannon Tan, New Zealand’s Momoka Kobori and France’s Agathe Sauzon.<\/p>\n
Hewson, meanwhile, finished 11th after a disappointing 79.<\/p>\n
Young turned the tide with an excellent birdie on the 15th hole to overturn her deficit and gain the lead from De Roey, who could only manage a bogey at 17.<\/p>\n
The Englishwoman, who last won the Swiss Ladies Open in 2022, found water at the 18th before recovering to make a bogey, which De Roey could not improve on.<\/p>\n
“I’m in shock… disbelief,” said Young, who climbed to 12th in the Ladies European Tour’s Order of Merit. <\/p>\n
“It’s my second win, but it’s still as important as any other win. They don’t happen very often as a professional golfer.<\/p>\n
“It’s never easy. Manon is a great friend of mine and we were battling all day. It’s never easy to beat a friend but she had one [victory] earlier this year so it’s my turn!<\/p>\n
“Putting was the key – me and my caddie were reading the greens great all day. It was my birthday last week and it’s my daughter’s birthday next week, so it’s a good birthday celebration.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
