LAW WINS INDIVIDUAL TITLE WITH MONSTER EAGLE PUTT AS TEAM GARCIA TRIUMPHS AT ARAMCO TEAM SERIES – LONDON

  • Bronte Law sinks a 55-foot eagle putt on the 18th to win the individual title by one stroke over Georgia Hall
  • Team Garcia secures play-off victory over Team Wikstrom with par on the first extra-hole

The Aramco Team Series – London finished in dramatic fashion as Bronte Law sank a 55-foot eagle putt from the front of the 18th green to clinch her second LET victory at Centurion Club on Saturday.

A shot behind the clubhouse leader, Georgia Hall, standing on the 18th tee, Law needed a birdie to force a play-off but the 27-year-old from Stockport, England, conjured a piece of magic as she drained a brilliant, monster eagle putt which ran straight up the hill and into the hole for a round of 71 to edge Hall on nine-under-par, sparking jubilant scenes around the gallery.

“That’s why we play this game – for moments like that – and in front of a home crowd, it doesn’t really get any better,” said Law. “Coming down the stretch and holing a putt like that to win – that’s the epitome of the sport that we play and why we do it; why we go through all the heartache, the pain and everything is for moments like that.”

I had to stay mentally strong, set my head straight before I got on the next tee box. I did that and hit the best shot I could’ve hit on that hole. I knew I had to battle. It’s never over until it’s over. I guess that kind of showed at the end there.”

She hit back with birdies on 15 and 16 to get within one of the lead and said: I’m competitive, I want to win, so I won’t go down without a fight. I think that’s a testament to today. I never know that I’m going to end up with a win, but I will make sure I give it my all in order to give myself a chance.”

The gritty player said that she knew what she had to do as she lined up her putt on the 18th.

“I had a good look at that leader board, waiting for it to scroll back up to the top so I could see what happened with Georgia. I kind of…
