BOELJON DEFENDS TITLE IN TURKEY

(14 May 2012 - Antalya, Turkey)

2012 RACV Australian Ladies Masters champion Christel Boeljon captured her second straight Turkish Airlines Ladies Open title on Sunday with a final round of even par 73 at National Golf Club in Antalya. Finland’s Ursula Wikstrom finished three strokes back in outright second on 4-under par, while Spain’s rising star Carlota Ciganda and Sweden’s Carin Koch tied for third at 2-under par.

“It means a lot. To be able to defend is quite an honour and quite special so I’m very pleased to be here,” said Boeljon, whose first win on tour came in a team event as a rookie in 2009.

“I stayed calm and hit some really good shots in. I was able to go low, two under at one point and I just kept that going. The back nine was a little so, so, but overall it was enough and I played strong throughout the four days.”

The tight, tree-lined National Golf Club is one of the toughest courses on the Ladies European Tour schedule where strong course management is essential. Boeljon added, “You have to play well, hit good shots and if your confidence goes, the fairways just get smaller and smaller so you’ve got to keep that going. It’s tough because you need to put the ball in the right place and you need to putt well. Your short game needs to be good so it’s all around a good golf course.”

It was a mixed week for the ALPG contingent with six of 13 players making the cut. The best of those was Danielle Montgomery who equalled her best LET finish, in outright 12th at 3-over par. Bree Arthur continued her solid performances with a tie for 16th, followed by Sarah Kemp in a tie for 19th. Lindsey Wright (T23), Stacey Keating (T23) and Rachel Bailey (T46) also made the cut.

Note that the LET 1 hour TV Highlights from the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open will be shown on FoxSports on channel 502 at 7pm Wednesday, 16 May.
