Denmark’s Emily Pedersen won the 2014 Ladies’ British Open Amateur Championship at Royal St George’s Golf Club, beating Belgium’s Leslie Cloots 3&1 in this afternoon’s final
In a tight encounter, below par scores were required to win holes, and there was no more than one hole in the match until Pedersen edged ahead, winning the 10th and 12th holes. Cloots pulled one back at 14, but Pedersen retaliated at the next hole, and closed out the match by winning the 17th hole.
Pedersen stops a run of British victories in the Amateur Championship, with Kelly Tidy (2010 - Ganton), Lauren Taylor (2011 – Royal Portrush), Stephanie Meadow (2012 – Carnoustie) and Georgia Hall (2013 - Machynys Peninsula), being the winners in the last four years.
A former European Individual Champion, Emily Pedersen has played for Europe in both the Vagliano Trophy Match against Great Britain & Ireland, and the Junior Solheim Cup against the USA. By adding the oldest ladies match-play championship to her list of honours, she has yet again proven herself a winner on the top amateur stage.
On the Roll of Honour, she joins past winners of this prestigious championship, such as Azahara Munoz, Carlota Ciganda and Belen Mozo of Spain, Anna Nordqvist of Sweden, Scotland’s Catriona Lambert (Matthew) and Rebecca Hudson of England, and the BBC’s Maureen Madill, along with many of the pioneering legends of ladies’ golf.
As 2014 Ladies’ British Amateur Champion, Emily has also earned herself an exemption into the field for the Ricoh Women’s British Open, another LGU Championship, which will be played at the Royal Birkdale Golf Club from 10-13 July, 2014.
Congratulations to the 2014 Ladies’ British Open Amateur Champion, and thanks to everyone at Royal St George’s Golf Club for a great week at Sandwich.
