Christine Wolf had a much happier experience at DLF Golf and Country Club by winning her first title on the Ladies European Tour. A year after sharing second place at the Hero Women's Indian Open, the 30-year-old Austrian led by three strokes to the 18th hole before a double buggy ruined her chances.

Again, standing facing the 18th tee, she held a three-stroke advantage, but this time around there was no sign of nervousness and her third stroke flew over the rolling lake past the flag in the rear bunker on the green side. A perfectly executed shot in the sand allowed him to get par to win the event by three strokes over Marianne Skarpnord.

Last year the 18 proved to be her nemesis where she played the eight-hole over the par, including a quadruple bogey 9 in the third round. This year she played birdie in the third round. (par, par, birdie, par for all four rounds)

Wolf drove confidently over four laps on one of the most demanding golf courses in the world and made no mistakes over the weekend. She drove 44 buggy-free holes, her latest being Friday on hole 10 in the second round, making a final card of 69, or 11 under the par total.

After being doused with water and champagne, Wolf said: “I am very relieved. I couldn't wait to come back here. I didn't think, in my wildest dreams, that I would get away with it and I'm just excited right now. I just tried to stay calm, enjoy life here, and hit hard. "

“I’m super happy, of course, to post my first victory, but especially to have won it here. Love the course and knew what to expect when arriving this week. Everyone was aware of last year's drama. "

"When I left last year, I was ready to come back, play on the course and take revenge on the 18th."

Wolf came out of the top group with a third round of 67 and kept a one-shot lead over Meghan MacLaren heading into the final round. Her ball hit proved to be reliable and she made a short-range stroke, converting a small birdie putt on the first hole and extending her lead to two strokes. That lead became three when MacLaren bogeyed the next hole.

Wolf landed a bottom-up strike from the bunker for the birdie on the fourth hole but Skarpnord reduced the lead to two with his success on the 6. They both birdied on the 9.

Wolf like a metronome managed 9 pars, of the 9 back to return to the start at 36 and came close to the birdie after a comma on a 3 meter putt on traitor 17. The only error of Skarpnord was on 15 par- 5.

Ajay, Wolf's local caddy, was perhaps the most enthusiastic about making amends having personally suffered the loss in 2018.

“He texted me all last year and even on Christmas. He said to me, “I'm sorry ma'am, I think it's my fault. I said, "The only thing you could have done differently is hit that shot for me", so it was good to have him there and I think he's super happy too. "
