Briem bags first pro win at Rose Ladies Open – Golf News

By admin Sep9,2024

Germany’s Helen Briem clinched her first win as a professional after a play off at the Rose Ladies Open held at Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire.

The four-time LETAS champion was two shots back at the 36-hole mark and produced a round of 66 (-6) with a stunning eagle on the 18th to be in the playoff alongside 2023 graduate England’s Hannah Screen.

The duo headed back up to 18 for the playoff and both made birdies on the first and pars on the second. On the third hole, Briem made her par putt to clinch victory.

Briem said: “It feels fantastic to get my first win as a professional, especially here at the Rose Ladies Open.

“Every tournament has its own story and this one is mine. I’m so happy to have another win.

 “In regulation play, I considered hitting a three-wood after the tee. But I drove it and had a distance I didn’t like at all. But I still finished with an eagle, and it was incredible.

Briem, who had three consecutive wins on LETAS back in June, has now confirmed her LET card for the 2025 season.

She said: “It’s been an amazing season so far and it’s so incredible that I’ve achieved my aim of getting my LET card.”

Sweden’s Isabell Ekstrom finished third on 12-under whilst fellow Swede Kajsa Arwefjall finished fourth on 11-under.

In her professional debut England’s Mimi Rhodes, fresh off her Curtis Cup success, finished tied fifth alongside Gabriella Cowley.
