Julia Engstrom saved her best shot until the last hole as she made a fantastic birdie two to win her first LET title in the Women’s New South Wales Open at Dubbo Golf Club.
The 18-year-old from Hamlstad began the final round five strokes behind the overnight leader, Manon De Roey, from Belgium, but put up a strong challenge from the outset, eventually drawing level with the leader after she bogeyed the 17th hole.
Engstrom conjured a piece of magic with the perfect 5-iron into the par-3 18th and holed her birdie putt from three feet in front of an enormous gallery on a sun-drenched day in Dubbo.
De Roey missed the green and took a bogey four on the last to hand Engstrom a two stroke victory on 14-under-par.
