2012 Ladies European Tour (LET) Qualifying School La Manga Golf Club
In January 2012 Jodi Ewart won the LET Q-School by means of two shots following rounds of 70-67-67-73-73 which gave the 24-year-old North Yorkshire lady an overall total of 11 under 350. The Swiss novice Anais Maggetti had a total of nine under and Carlota Ciganda had 5 strokes further back in third.
The Womens European Tour (
golf course) is a pro golf tour for ladies run by a Board of Directors as well as a Players' Council, whereby most of its players are European. At the same time, the idea of qualifying school is the annual qualifying matches for top golf tours like the PGA and LPGA tours.
Jodi Ewart rated fourth on the LPGA and championed in the LET. Hence the event at La Manga Golf club this January is excellent news to her.
Jodi Ewart led from start to finish over the five rounds at La Manga Golf, Murcia, and Spain. After combating the urge to look at the scoreboards the whole week, Ewart was happy to win.
Ewart started off the round slowly after which holed a putt on nine for birdie. The move kicked things off and after that she shoved one in the water off 16 and had a double.
The 24-year old golfer also added that she was somewhat nervous through the game simply because somehow she already hinted she was winning but was not sure how many shots ahead. But not realizing the shots ahead had proven to do her good since if she had known it, she probably had held back.
So what about her competitions? What were their
golf star?
To find out who would bag the last spots inside the best 30, six players headed back out for the seventh tee to start a sudden death play-off for two places. These six players were: Laura Cabanillas and Mireia Prat from Spain, Sharmila Nicollet from India, Hannah Burke from England, Miriam Nagl from Germany, and Carly Booth from Scotland.
Laura Cabanillas holed a 12-footer for birdie to bag the 29th card available at the par-four seventh hole. The other five players went to the eighth tee.
Carly Booth fell short following reaching par four, ultimately she got eliminated together with Miriam Nagl following taking a bogey five. Meanwhile, Hannah Burke, Sharmila Nicolet, and Mireia Prat had four and went to the par-five ninth
