Helen Kreuzer of Germany won her first professional championship at the Fidelity ADT Ladies Challenge at the Blue Valley Golf Estate with a three-metre birdie putt on the par-five 18th, a hole she had missed earlier in regulation.
Kreuzer entered the 72nd round at 12-under-par, and back-to-back threes on the par-four 16th and 17th holes helped her catch Tina Mazarino at the top of the leaderboard.
However, while the failed putt forced her to settle for par and a playoff with the Norwegian, Kreuzer was able to take advantage of the Gary Player design’s wide fairways and hit the green in two after a fantastic drive, which would have pleased him
