The French Open for Chiara Talburlini ! The European number one consolidates her position as leader of the Order of Merit after her victory at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France at the Golf Barrière in Deauville. The Swiss beat the Australian Kirsten Rudgeley at the first playoff hole.

The birdie for the win on the 55th hole

Boosted by a surplus of energy, Tamburlini hit a monumental drive on the 55th hole, while the Antipodes golfer found the left pre-rough. Despite a magnificent attack on the green, Rudgeley was not in a birdie position and was logically content with par. The winner of the Joburg Open this fall planted the mast and sank her two-metre putt to win her second trophy this season. Tamburlini widens the gap in the European rankings, with Belgian Manon De Roey, third this week one shot from the jump-off, who climbs to second place in the Order of Merit.

Another top 10 for PRB!

Pauline Roussin-Bouchard finishes first French with a nice final top 10 (-3). The best tricolor in the Order of Merit signed a nice card of 67 on Saturday, thanks in particular to her two birdies at 16 and 18. This is a third top 10 in a row for the Varoise who continues to string together good results. weeks. “I’m still a little frustrated with my putting because I had a really good ball strike this week, she regretted. It was especially great to feel supported by the crowd throughout the game. And on the 18th, when I put in my putt for birdie, people were as happy as I was and that’s nice! I’m going to play PQ 2 to try to qualify for the card finals. But if I’m in the top 10 of the LET, I still go to the finals. So I don’t put any more pressure on myself. I love alternating different cultures between tournaments in Europe, the United States and Asia. It was incredibly nice to eat French cuisine after the United States. But it is certain that the best in the world play on the LPGA Tour.»

Loïs Lau creates a surprise

Among the four amateurs present this week, only Loïs Lau made the cut on Friday evening. The golfer from Fontainebleau therefore logically finished as the best amateur, in a flattering 15th place, even though she was even on the provisional podium after her first leg. “I am very happy to have made the cut and finished under total par, despite the rainy and windy conditions of the first two dayssmiled the 22-year-old golfer. Today I had nothing to lose and I attacked all the flags. I really had fun on the course. I made four birdies on the way out and saw that I was very close to the lead on the leaderboard. But unfortunately I made two bogeys in a row at 10 and 11. I’m happy to have remained calm to finish with pars. The FFG and ASO were kind enough to grant me an invitation and I am very happy to have finished first amateur in the tournament. I will now do the American maps and the LET maps at the end of the season.»

Grechi just beyond the top 20

For the second year in a row, Emma Grechi finished around 20th place (18th last year and 21st this year) after flirting with the lead at the end of the first round of the Lacoste Ladies Open de France. A great first reassuring day for the Bordelaise who is looking to get back to her best level, but inevitably a little frustration at not having managed to capitalize more than that. Céline Herbin (37th) and Camille Chevalier (39th), also in the top 10 after 36 holes, finished above par after a disappointing final day.

A future in suspense, but which looks bright

After three years in a row at the Golf Barrière Deauville, the Lacoste Ladies Open de France has a strong chance of remaining in the famous seaside town of Calvados for 2025. Art remains at the heart of the system put in place by Lacoste and ASO, which should offer us a 35th edition on a Diane Barrière course which has never been as beautiful as this year, despite complicated weather conditions during the first two days.
