WISHON GOLF — ANNE VAN DAM WINS AT ANDALUCIA COSTA DEL SOL OPEN

Netherlands’ Anne van Dam won the Andalucia Costa del Sol Open for the second year running after overturning a one-stroke deficit on the final hole.

Nanna Koerstz Madsen led on the final tee but sent her drive into a lake and then three-putted for double bogey.

Van Dam, 24, made par to finish on 13 under par at Marbella’s Aloha Golf Club – one stroke ahead of Denmark’s Madsen and India’s Aditi Ashok.

“I did not expect that. That’s golf. It was a crazy day,” said Van Dam.

“Nanna is a good friend of mine and I would have loved to have beaten her in a play-off – that would have been a better feeling for me, but that’s golf.

“She took more of a risk hitting a driver off the tee and I’ve been hitting an iron off the tee there all week.”

Van Dam, the longest hitter on both the Ladies European Tour and LPGA Tours in 2019, took her driver out of her bag for the tournament, but admitted that she is keen to be reunited with it.
