England\u2019s Amy Taylor clinched her maiden LETAS win in the final event of the 2022 season after a four-way playoff at the Calatayud Ladies Open.<\/p>\n
On an exciting final day at Gambito Golf Club Calatayud, four players were tied at the top of the leaderboard on nine-under-par after 54 holes.<\/p>\n
Denmark\u2019s Sofie Kibsgaard Nielsen, Swiss amateur Elena Moosmann, England\u2019s Taylor and New Zealand\u2019s Momoka Kobori all headed back down to the ninth hole for the playoff.<\/p>\n
And it was the 21-year-old from Norwich who came out on top making a birdie at the par-three ninth to secure her first professional victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels really good to win again and to get my first professional victory. Winning in the playoff is extra special because I played against three established players, so I really appreciate this trophy.<\/p>\n
Taylor has had a consistent week in Spain carding a 70 (-2) and 69 (-3) on the first two days before producing a bogey-free 68 (-4) on the final day.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlaying in the final round with Momoka was already a bit of a match play as we were making birdie putts towards the end of the round and kind of going back and forth.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is something I wanted to achieve for a while now. I didn\u2019t win in college in the US so this is just a cherry on top of my first professional season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Denmark\u2019s Kibsgaard Nielsen had an excellent final day as did Switzerland\u2019s Moosmann, both firing the best rounds of the day with a 67 (-5).<\/p>\n
It was an error-free day for the Dane, who made her birdies on the first, fourth, ninth, 13th<\/sup>, and 17th<\/sup>\u00a0holes in Spain.<\/p>\n While Moosmann did have two bogeys on her card, she made up for that with seven birdies on the third, fourth, ninth, 13th<\/sup>, 14th<\/sup>, 16th,<\/sup>\u00a0and 17th<\/sup>\u00a0holes to finish low amateur of the tournament.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m very happy with my season and excited I made it into the Final Stage of the LET Q School. Competing on LETAS this year was amazing; it feels like a family and the competition gets better every year.\u201d<\/p>\n Overnight leader Kobori had a three-shot lead heading into the final day but started with a bogey at the first, however she bounced back with a birdie on the third before making a double bogey on six and a bogey on nine.<\/p>\n Despite that the two-time LETAS winner soon regained momentum rolling in birdies on 13, 16 and 17 for a round of level par.<\/p>\n Finishing in a share of fifth place in the final event were four players including Scotland\u2019s Hannah McCook, who also produced one of the rounds of the day with a 67 (-5).<\/p>\n The Scot ended the tournament alongside Spain\u2019s Tereza Diez Moliner, Dutch player Zhen Bontan and England\u2019s Ellie Gower on five-under-par.<\/p>\n Three players finished in a tie for ninth place one shot further back with Norway\u2019s Julie Boysen Hillestad, Germany\u2019s Patricia Isabel Schmidt, and Marit Harryvan of the Netherlands all on four-under.<\/p>\n
