Taking the start of her last lap this morning, an hour and a half and eight games before the leaders, Caroline Hedwall could not imagine finishing the day with the trophy in her hands. After three cards of 69, 71 and 70 for a total of -3, it was indeed seven head shots. But, at the end of a Sunday which will remain in the annals of the tournament and the European circuit, it was she who lifted the cup, after being sprayed with champagne by her compatriots. Author of an incredible 62 (-9), the Swede not only broke the record for the Châteaux course, but above all saw her opponents fail, one after the other, to equal her total score of -12. She was finally two lengths ahead of South African Stacy Lee Bregman, who played 66 (-5).

“What happened is quite unreal, to be honest… I just went on the course hoping to get a good score, and I definitely did it. And again, I have the impression of having missed a few points! " commented on Hedwall after registering nine birdies without making any mistakes. “It was one of those days, which rarely happens, where I felt golf was easy. " At 29, the native of Täby won her sixth success on the Ladies European Tour, six years to the day after the last. A fair reward for this player at the dazzling start of her career, crowned with a unique feat during the Solheim Cup 2013 where she had won her five matches. Thanks to this success, she also pocketed her ticket for the Evian Championship, the last Major of the year next week in Haute-Savoie.

Aligned in the last part, Marion Ricordeau did not live the dream Sunday. Guilty of several costly mistakes in the middle of the game, the Picardie nevertheless finished on a high note, three birdies on the last six holes allowing him to make a 74 (+3) synonymous with 15th place. “It's a shame to only play six holes of golf when you have to do 18… But I was very touched to be constantly encouraged by the spectators, when I was really in the rough. It was great to be carried like that, and it allowed me to hold on to the end and come back a bit ”, she said. The place of best Tricolor of this 28th edition of the Lacoste Ladies Open of France went to Céline Herbin, who returned a good 68 (-3) to finish eleventh at -7. "I draw a very positive assessment of the week: my feelings were very good, I made three cards under par, and despite a complicated start to the tournament since I did not have my clubs, it was a very good preparation for Évian next week », said Ambassador Lacoste. Isabelle Boineau (68, -3) took 17th place at -5, while Jade Schaeffer-Calmels (73, +2) finished 25th at -2.
