Lucie Andre won the season-opening\u00a0Santander Golf Tour \u2013 GIRONA on the 2023 LET Access Series, after firing a final round of\u00a0one-under-par 70 to secure a place in the five-person play-off.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 35-year-old from Bourg-en-Bresse, France, headed into the final day in tied eighth place,\u00a0six shots off the lead,\u00a0having shot rounds of\u00a072 on\u00a0each of the first two days.<\/p>\n

Andre carded three birdies on the sixth, 15th<\/sup>\u00a0and 17th<\/sup>\u00a0holes – and two consecutive bogeys, on holes ten and 11, during round three.<\/p>\n

After two holes in the play-off, Sweden\u2019s Emma Thorngren and Switzerland\u2019s Sofie Kibsgaard Nielsen were knocked out after they both made bogeys. English rookie, Emily Price, was the third of the players to be knocked out.<\/p>\n

In breathtaking fashion, Andre secured a bogey, to win over the Netherland\u2019s Marit Harryvan.\u00a0\u201cWhen I\u2019m playing a play off, I\u2019m playing my own game. I\u2019m not playing against those who are playing me,\u201d Andre said.\u00a0\u201cI was making sure I played smart and made a par or less but a par is good for the 18th hole, where we played the play off.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy game has been pretty solid, to be honest. I hit a lot of greens and a lot of fairways. The putting was a bit up and down. I\u2019ve been very consistent on the tee shots, so it was good.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is Andre\u2019s first trip to the winner\u2019s circle on LETAS since the 2017 Foxconn Czech Ladies Challenge, but her plan for the season has not changed.<\/p>\n

She added:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m just going to play a tournament and see how it goes. To be honest, I don\u2019t have any goals for the season. I just want to finish as high as I can.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is always great to win and it\u2019s even better when you have a play-off, because you feel the win more intensely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Santander Golf Tour-GIRONA was played at Golf Peralada and Andre paid tribute to the course and the event, a new tournament on LETAS.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like the Santander tournaments, because the golf courses are always nice and it\u2019s a good mix with the LET Access Series.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others who finished inside the top ten included Spanish player, Teresa Diez Moliner narrowly missed out on the play-off and came sixth at two-over-par.<\/p>\n

Italy\u2019s Clara Manzalini and Thursday’s leader Elena Moosmann ended the tournament in tied seventh on three-over-par.<\/p>\n

Fellow Spaniard, Elia Folch came in at tied eighth and Scotland\u2019s Hannah McCook and Lianna Bailey shared tenth respectively.<\/p>\n

The next tournament on the LET Access Series is the Terre Blanche Ladies Open, taking place on 13-15 April at Golf de Terre Blanche in France.<\/p>\n
