Madeleine Sagstrom failed to catch up.
After Sunday’s run, the Swede finished in a tie for fourth place at The Open.
South African Ashley Buhay won – after a crazy private match.
Madeleine Sagstrom entered the final round of the Open Championship on Sunday at Historic Muirfield where she finished fourth – and also finished fourth. After another round on par, she failed to break into the top three and finished in seventh below overall.
Leader before Sunday, South African Ashley Buhaye stood up for a poor run in a row and played a four on a par with the triple bogey. She was saved by a vigorous Saturday round making eight sparrows and taking the fight to victory in one match.
Crazy private play wanted
There she encountered South Korean In Ji Chun, who finished the tour with one below par. On the difficult eighteenth day, the players could not be separated and the darkness almost caused the players to break. It took a full four holes before picking a winner.
Buhai fired a superb shot into the vault and saved a second failed shot to make it easy. Chun was also in the bunker and turned around but didn’t perform the same feat. The South Korean had to accept a ghost.
In doing so, Buhai was able to secure his first championship title. She is now engraved on the British Open trophy after last year’s winner Anna Nordqvist.
– I can’t describe the feeling. Sorry, but there will be some tears. There is a lot of hard work and dedication behind it. There were probably a lot of people in South Africa who felt gray afterwards, says the winner with tears in his eyes.
Len Grant (-1) and Maja Stark (+4), the other two Swedes in the tournament, finished 19th and 41st, respectively. Grant played well with three sub-par on Sunday, while Stark stagnated, finishing on eight points.
