The 23-year-old Stockport player said: " I am very happy. I played really good golf this week despite the lack of time to train and prepare due to an injury. I worked hard this week and I played golf really well. I can't wait to see you next year for this experience. It means a lot to me, coming from England, even though I live in the US now it is my home and it is important to support the Ladies European Tour and I can't wait to be a member of the Tour. "

Law started his final lap with a birdie of 4,5m on the first hole, then made a difficult 2m putt for extra payoff on the fifth hole, before chip-in the wedge at the sixth hole. Her next birdie came on the eighth hole, where she converted a 2m putt. After 50 holes without a bogey, she missed her only shot of the day on hole 41, where she put in three strokes but came close to shot-for-one on 10. Another birdie followed on 13, where she registered a total of 14 under s. After making good putts on the 26, 15 and 16, which all flirted with the edge of the hole, she then got acquainted with the bushes left on the edge of the fairway from the 17th tee and had to get out of it, but she hit the green in three strokes and had only two putts to make before celebrating her victory.

Qualifying for the European team for next year's Solheim Cup is now a priority and she added: “It's something I really want to be a part of. I have always loved team golf and there is something that I really enjoy about match play. Next year my goal will be to be good enough to be taken on this team. "

Catriona Matthew, captain of next year's European Solheim Cup squad, commented: “It was great to see Bronte commit to going to Q-School and on top of that, have such a successful week. She has been on my list of candidates for a while now and her performance this week is a testament to her commitment to LET, which allows her to represent the European team at Gleneagles next year. "

Linnea Ström, 23, another serious candidate for the Solheim Cup, commented: “Of course I wanted to win today, but Bronte played well as always and I knew it would be a tough last day. I didn't really miss my putts early in the round and ended up with four birdies in a row so I gave it a go, but overall I'm very happy with my game. ”

German Esther Henseleit (below) took third place with 18 pennies after a final lap of 64, which included nine birdies and a bogey. This 20-year-old woman from Hamburg commented: “It means a lot to me. I was an amateur and I will now become professional and it is incredible! It was my main goal for this year and it's a great ending for a great season. "

English Sian Evans, 27, who works full time as a PGA Professional at Kings Hill Golf Club in Kent, finished in fourth place with 16 under par. She created a Just Giving page (note: a site for crowdfunding without compensation) to fund the trip to Lalla Aicha Tour School and cried lightly after proving to herself that she could be among the best.

She said: “This is literally the best week I could hope for and I couldn't have done it without my caddy, Jake. He's been my rock this week. I have already received a lot of messages and I am so happy that I made everyone proud. This is what everyone dreams of. Ever since I was a kid I want to do that and make a 16 under par score, that's my lowest tournament score, so I'm really happy. "

Tied with Sarah Nilsson in fifth place, the Irishwoman Leona Maguire managed a birdie of 1,5 meters at the first additional hole, the 10th, to obtain the fifth and last card in the 5C category.

She said: " I am glad. I knew from the start of the play-off that this place would make a huge difference for next year. I'm just happy I was able to birdie and get fifth place. I am delighted to play with new golfers in new places. I think I'm going to come home and enjoy Christmas with the family and plan my schedule for the New Year. I would like to win an event. This will be my first year as a pro so it will be a good thing to pass it and see where it takes me. "

French side, the Niçoise Emilie Alonso could not do better than a 74 (+2) this Thursday on the Amelkis Golf Course for the last round of this final of the Accession Cards. She finally fell to 14th position at 353 in total (-7), along with Emma Grechi, 70 (-2) today. It is the Parisian Manon Gidali - the most regular since Sunday - who is doing the best on the French side with a 7th place at -10 after having also signed an ultimate 70. Two French women, however, played in the 60 for this last round of 2018. Ines Lescudier and Mathilda Cappeliez recorded respectively a 69 (-3) and a 66 (-6) to finish in 17th and 21st positions at -5 (355) and -3 (357).

These five young women, classified between the sixth and the twenty-fifth places, obtain a category 8 on the Ladies European Tour 2019. A category considered almost full except for the reduced field tournaments as was the case this year by example at the Lacoste Ladies Open in France (78 players engaged). On the other hand, for Agathe Sauzon (27th to -2) and Emilie Piquot (62nd) to +6, their category 9b will only offer them a partial right to play.
