Liz Young Secures Second Tour Victory at Women’s Indian Open

English golfer Liz Young secured her second Ladies European Tour championship by winning the Women’s Indian Open with a one-stroke margin. The final leaderboard results were as follows: -2 E Young (Eng) -1 M Kobori (NZ), A Sauzon (Fra), S Tan (Sin), De Roey (Bel) Evens H Burke (Eng), P Delacour (Fra), M Haddioui (Mor) Selected others: +4 M Brar (Ind), A Hewson (Eng); +5 H Screen (Eng); +8 A Fuller (Eng), A Taylor (Eng), F Parker (Eng) At the DLF Golf and Country Club in Haryana, the 42-year-old competitor was trailing compatriot Alice Hewson and Belgium’s Manon de Roey prior to recording a final-round score of 72, concluding the tournament at two under par overall on Sunday. De Roey completed her round with a 74, placing her one stroke behind Young and resulting in a tie for second position alongside Singapore’s Shannon Tan, New Zealand’s Momoka Kobori, and France’s Agathe Sauzon. Meanwhile, Hewson concluded the event in 11th place, having posted a final score of 79. Young reversed her fortunes by achieving a crucial birdie on the 15th hole, which allowed her to overcome her disadvantage and seize the lead from De Roey, who subsequently recorded only a bogey on the 17th. The English golfer, whose previous victory was at the Swiss Ladies Open in 2022, encountered a water hazard on the 18th hole but managed to recover for a bogey, a score that De Roey was unable to better. “I’m in shock… disbelief,” stated Young, whose ranking rose to 12th in the Ladies European Tour’s Order of Merit. “It’s my second win, but it’s still as important as any other win. They don’t happen very often as a professional golfer.” “It’s never easy. Manon is a great friend of mine and we were battling all day. It’s never easy to beat a friend but she had one [victory] earlier this year so it’s my turn!” “Putting was the key – me and my caddie were reading the greens great all day. It was my birthday last week and it’s my daughter’s birthday next week, so it’s a good birthday celebration.”
