Swedish rookie Caroline Hedwall secured her first Ladies European Tour title at the Allianz Ladies Slovak Open.
The 22-year-old from Barsebäck totalled 11 under par 205 in the event, which was shortened to 54 holes after storms.
Hedwall, who had played eight holes of her third round on Saturday, completed a round of 67 in sunshine at Gray Bear Golf Club in Tále on Sunday. She started out with three straight birdies from the ninth and added another at the par-four 15th hole.
The former NCAA champion finished two strokes ahead of Christel Boeljon from the Netherlands, who shot a career-low eight under par 64. English rookie Rachel Jennings finished in third on seven under par.
Hedwall, who won her first professional tournament at the Women’s NSW Open in Australia in January, said that she felt confident, but was surprised to win on the LET so early in the season, in only her eighth start as a member.
