Jane Tuner wins the 1st edition of the Bossey Ladies Championship -

A fighter with a fragile health

"Jane Turner?" She is a high quality Scottish woman. And above all a swing! »At the end of
first round of the Bossey Ladies Championship, Tuesday August 15, it's the French Astrid Vayson
de Pradenne, leader tied at - 6 with Turner who expressed himself thus. The two players
shared the head of the tournament after sharing the same room in a previous tournament
in the Czech Republic. Like many girls on the circuit, Astrid, the physiotherapist at
Châteauneuf-du-Pape knows that Jane Turner suffers from epilepsy following a tumor problem in
the head. But the Scottish girl decided to believe in herself where many thought she was
less and less able to perform in golf. And to fight, Turner fought this
week in Haute-Savoie! His first title on LETAS, his first European title at all
(she never competed in LET tournaments), miss Scotland really went to get it.

Four bogeys, then a series of three birdies

After his 65 (-6) card on Tuesday, Turner signed a 70 (-1) in the second round to be alone
leader at -7. But as we suspected, his closest pursuers rebelled
in the third round. Starting with the Spanish Natalia Escuriola and Noemi Jimenez who
led him hard in their final part of this August 17. Jane was visibly contracting on
the outward journey from par 71 designed by Robert Trent Jones Junior: with four bogeys for two birdies
(38), it seemed to unscrew in front of the Iberian team. But his Scottish (cold) blood resumed the
above on the way back: three consecutive birdies at 11, 12 and 13! Jane climbed the slope under the
cliffs of Salève. In addition, Escuriola picked up a little. There remained Noemi Jimenez, who continued to
cheerfully poking around to get his Everest.

Two play-off holes against Noemi Jimenez

After 18 holes, the verdict fell: 71 (par) for Turner and 67 (-4) for Jimenez. Draw.
Because the two players were tied at -7 total. So invited to go play-off. Equality
maintained at 1 with a birdie for both. It is in the schuss of 18, magnificent hole
which goes downhill towards the jets of water and the old gates of the clubhouse, that the outcome
intervened. Noemi l'Espagnole dropped her drive to the right and left in the powder, sorry, the
rough, with a blow over the trees to follow. Jane the Scottish girl was skiing
perfectly in the center of the well-groomed track (on the fairway). With just a little edge to
to go to the green in two when Noemi still had to execute a chip. By for Turner,
Bogey for Jimenez, the victory went to the first.

Sprinkled with champagne; a “brilliant” tournament

Watered with champagne by two directors (Guillaume Fouquet, director of the Bossey Country
Club, and Pierre-Antoine Missud, tournament and Pitch & Play director), Jane Turner beamed,
thanked and described the organization of the first Bossey Ladies Championship as “brilliant”.
Sentiment shared by the following: Natalia Escuriola 3rd at -5, Lauren Taylor 4th at -4 or Meghan
MacLaren 5th to -3. Ditto for French women, pampered in Bossey and logically happy with
play a LETAS tournament in Canada for the third time this year (Terre Blanche Ladies Open,
Jabra Ladies Open in Évian and therefore Bossey Ladies Championship in Haute-Savoie). Even if
players of the caliber of Valentine Derrey and Agathe Sauzon (read also the ZOOM on Agathe
Sauzon) were necessarily a little disappointed not to be better than 10th with the total.

Meghan MacLaren's fantastic comeback

The four best French women behind Derrey and Sauzon are grouped in 14th row: Justine
Dreher, Camille Chevalier, Inès Lescudier and Astrid Vayson de Pradenne (maps of 74 and 75 for
the latter after the 65 of the first round, damage). The young Arlesian Anaïs Meyssonnier,
strong game with an eagle at 2 and a birdie at 4, finally finished 19th with a last card
71. 19th place also for Ariane Provot, whose final 67 could not compensate for the first two
mixed days. As for the rise of the day, it came from Meghan MacLaren, the young
English which is sponsored by Pitch & Play and which consolidates in Bossey its rank of number 1 of the
LETAS ranking: six birdies to go for a score of 30 (!) halfway through. With a third
65 card which makes it go from 26th after two rounds to 5th in the end. Well done miss
