BREGMAN WINS PAM
GOLDING LADIES
INTERNATIONAL BY
FOUR STROKES

South African Stacy Bregman, pictured right, took the title at the Pam Golding Ladies International played at the Nelspruit Golf Club today with a final round of 71 for a seven-under-par total of 209 for the 54-hole tournament.
Bregman led the field from start to finish and showed she was in the mood to stay there when she birdied the first four holes of her final round before dropping shots at the sixth and ninth with drives into the rough.
She got back in the birdie grove at the 10th where she had a big drive and a superb approach shot to "gimme" distance.
She three-putted the tough par-3 13th but birdied the 15th.
The 16th hole was her only real blemish of the day. She pulled her approach shot into a bunker from where she needed to shots to get on to the green ... a missed putt ... and a double bogey went on her card.
Bregman then parred safely home to take the title four shots clear of her nearest rival.
“I’ve had a really great tour, and with today’s win, I’m very excited about next week’s Telkom Women’s Classic at Zwartkop Country Club” said a very pleased Bregman.
Tied for second place were South Africa’s Morgana Robbertze and Danish player Lisa Holm Sorensen. They both signed off with 71s to finish at three-under-par 213.
The best round of the day came from Italian Margherita Rigon with a 70.
Remaining ahead of her fellow amateur players was Gauteng’s Tandi Cuningham who closed on eight-over-par 224 for the tournament to take the leading amateur title.
Starting on Wednesday next week, the Ladies African Tour moves to Centurion’s, Zwartkop Country Club, for the final event of the tour, the Telkom Women’s Classic. Entrance is free.
