It was a great golfing spectacle attended by the many spectators of the Open GENERALI in Strasbourg, where the suspense remained present throughout the day, and which only found its epilogue at hole 18. Several leaders, turnarounds and a deserved victory came to punctuate this formidable 2rd edition of the Open GENERALI in Strasbourg.

It was the big winner of the day who first opened the hostilities with 2 birdies on the first 3 holes, enough to set the tone for her day. This "canon" start very quickly placed the Finnish at the level of the leading players, namely Lucie ANDRE, Sanna NUUTINEN and the young French amateur Pauline ROUSSIN BOUCHARD. The latter, who was playing her first professional tournament, had a difficult start by conceding a bogey at hole number 1. However, she was able to remain solid and finished the tournament at the 5e tied position (-7), a remarkable performance. Sanna NUUTINEN, leader after 2rd However, the day started off well with 2 birdies on the first leg before conceding a double bogey at 13 which condemned his chances of final victory. It ends all the same at a beautiful 4rd square. Our French number 1 this week, Lucie ANDRE, has not failed in her favorite status. 2rd yesterday, it retains this position today after another superb performance. Despite a bogey on number 1, the 35rd European player then made 5 birdies for a score of (-4) today and a final score of (-10). 3rd in Dinard, 2rd in Strasbourg, she won the GENERALI ladies tour 2015 and at the same time pocketed an invitation to the Lacoste ladies Open in France.

The podium is completed by the English Eleanor GIVENS, author of a game similar to that of Lucie ANDRE with a bogey on the 1er hole followed by 5 birdies, she achieved another great performance on French soil, she who had come close to victory at the GENERALI Open in Dinard last April.

The GENERALI ladies tour 2015 is therefore coming to an end after a second exceptional Strasbourg strand, meet at the Golf de Chantaco from 24 to 27 September for the Lacoste Ladies Open in France.
