After setting the clubhouse target at 11-under-par, she faced a nerve wracking wait on the practice putting green as Pelaez Trivino, who had led all day, played the last hole. The Spaniard needed an eagle to win outright or a birdie to force a play-off, but her third shot, a chip from the front of the green, checked up six feet short of the hole.\u00a0\u00a0Then, her birdie putt slipped agonisingly past the left side. The resulting par, and a final round score of 69, was enough for Pettersson to win by the slimmest of margins.\u00a0![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ladiesingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/52950062096_df4fa5dcc9_c-200x300.jpg\")

\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cI don\u2019t think it has sunk in yet to be honest. I don\u2019t really know what happened out there. I\u2019m in shock, but it feels good,\u201d said the second year LET player, who had previously recorded two runner-up places on the LET in Scandinavia, at the 2022 Skaft\u00f6 Open and \u00c5land Open.<\/p>\n \u201cI obviously like playing at home and it was really, really fun. I really like playing in Sweden. Even though I\u2019m not from Helsingborg, I still feel the support.<\/p>\n \u201cI hit a really good drive on 18 and I told my caddie, (Philip Axelsson) who\u2019s my boyfriend, that it was the last drive of the tournament and it was nice to finish with a good drive. Then I had about 180 metres left, and I hit a 5-iron to about two metres, or eight feet, and the putt went in.<\/p>\n \u201cI just tried to hit a good putt. I was nervous but I didn\u2019t know what it would lead to, so I was thinking I would try to finish with a good putt for my own score.<\/p>\n \u201cI haven\u2019t been in this position before. I came second twice last season, but I didn\u2019t get to play in a play-off, so I didn\u2019t know exactly how I should handle it. I was just waiting to see what would happen. I tried to hit some putts and stay loose and warm. When she didn\u2019t make it, it was surreal. I didn\u2019t quite realise that it meant that I had won.<\/p>\n \u201cI skipped one of my best friends\u2019 weddings this week to play in this event. She was understanding but I\u2019m sure she will understand even more now.\u201d<\/p>\n Pelaez Trivino occupied solo second place after another solid performance for her fifth top 10 finish of the season. \u201cI knew I had to fight to the last hole and that\u2019s what I did. This is golf. She played great today. I played very good golf today too, but it just wasn\u2019t quite enough,\u201d said the 25-year-old from Malaga, who moved up into second position on the Race to Costa del Sol.<\/p>\n It was a great performance by fellow second year player Smilla Tarning Soenderby of Denmark, whose 68 ensured she finished in outright third position on nine-under-par. The 22-year-old from Fredericia was extremely happy to record a career best result on the LET and to be under par in all three of her rounds. She moved to her highest ever ranking of 27th<\/sup>\u00a0on the Race to Costa del Sol<\/a>.<\/p>\n Czechia\u2019s Klara Davidson Spilkova\u00a0had another good week on the LET with a final round of 66 \u2013 the joint best round of the week \u2013 to end in fourth place on eight-under-par.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cIt was an amazing back nine of 30. It was a solid round and then on nine I hit it in the water and made a bogey. I made a birdie on 12 and then eagle on 13 and that got everything going and I realised I could get close. I tried to get as close as I could and I really did, the last three holes I birdied, so it was great. When you get the flow going and things are going well, it\u2019s nice. I think it\u2019s good preparation for next week\u2019s Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed.\u201d<\/p>\n Sweden\u2019s Caroline Hedwall had a final round of 70 to end in fifth position on seven-under-par. England\u2019s Lily May Humphreys and\u00a0April Angurasaranee\u00a0tied for sixth place.<\/p>\n Another Swede, Emma Thorngren, and India\u2019s Diksha Dagar shared eighth place, with Norwegian Renate Grimstad and South African Casandra Alexandra in a tie for 10th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n In the 2023 Race to Costa del Sol, Aditi Ashok continues to lead but Ana Pel\u00e1ez Trivino has jumped into second ahead of Linn Grant, in third, and Klara Davidson Spilkova remains in fourth place.<\/p>\n Chiara Noja and Lily May Humphreys are still in fifth and sixth place respectively, but with 500 points for her win, Pettersson has climbed 53 places from 60th<\/sup>\u00a0to seventh place.<\/p>\n Pauline Roussin moves down to eighth, Patricia Schmidt has gone to ninth place and Carlota Ciganda sits in tenth.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ladiesingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/52950501913_c324f0c0e1_c-300x200.jpg\")
