For a long time, the fight raged between the Breton and the English Eleanor GIVENS. The Frenchwoman then had a delicate start to her return, conceding 4 bogeys on holes 11 to 15. This golf "crunch" then turned to the advantage of the British.

Everyone thought that the current 32e of the Ladies European Tour was heading for final victory. However, that was without counting on the demanding course of Dinard Golf, swept by the wind today, and the great experience of the high level of French. The British then conceded a double bogey on the 15th which came to revive the suspense with the Spanish Virginia ESPEJO who then took the lead. However, this incredible scenario did not find its epilogue. 3 putts of the Spanish on the 18th, a very solid end of the French course and the triumph of the latter.

A victory acquired at the end of the suspense with a superb "approach-putt" victorious on the 18e hole. Announced as one of the big favorites of the 2015 edition, the regional of the stage did honor to its status and its region.

On the side of our other tricolors, the day was complicated for Lauralie MIGNEAUX, Astrid VAYSON DE PRADENNE and the GENERALI ambassador, Caroline AFONSO respectively authors of cards of 75, 77 and 80. Regularly at the top of the ranking on the GENERALI ladies tour, Caroline AFONSO will be keen to make up for it during the next stage in Strasbourg. The day was not, however, delicate for everyone, since Lucie ANDRE, 2nd of the Dinard Open GENERALI in 2010 when she was still only an amateur, returned the best card of the day with 68 (-1) and finished in 3e place with a total score of +2.

Also author of a total score of +2 the Dutch Anne VAN-DAM shares the 3e square. On the foreign side, the Spanish community throne at the top of the leaderboard with Maria PALACACIOS and Carmen ALONSO who share the 5e alongside the English Eleanor GIVENS and the German Isabell GABSA.

Nearly perfect weather conditions, an exceptional field of players, and a renowned winner such as Sophie GIQUEL-BETTAN, in short an exceptional 2015 edition.
