It was a birthday to remember for Alexa Pano as she won the ISPS HANDA WORLD INVITATIONAL presented by AVIV Clinics in a dramatic playoff.
After rounds of 76-70-69-66, Pano ended the tournament with a total of eight-under-par and found herself in a playoff alongside Germany’s Esther Henseleit and England’s Gabriella Cowley.
The American, who turned 19 on Sunday, headed back down 18 and made a birdie on the first playoff hole, as did Cowley to send them back to the tee.
Dan Brown completed a stunning wire -to -wire success at the ISPS HANDA World invitational presented by AVIV Clinics to claim his maiden professional win.
Dan Brown: “I could never have dreamed this up in the past, however many years or whatever it is. I don’t think it’s sunk in but, yeah, amazing “I didn’t really putt great yesterday. It was a bit nervy, struggling to get the pace and it was kind of similar again today. And then once you got down the closing stretch, last six, seven holes, I said to my caddie, just make sure your pace is good on each putt. I almost forgot about line and all that kind of thing. I was just trying to make sure that it was a decent pace.
Galgorm & Castlerock Golf Clubs were proud hosts last week to this innovative tournament!
Last week’s event was tri-sanctioned by the DP World Tour, Ladies European Tour and LPGA Tour, with men’s and women’s tournaments played on the same courses at the same time for two equal prize funds of US$1.5million. America’s Alexa Pano made it a birthday to remember as she won her first LPGA title by defeating Gabriella Cowley and Esther Henseleit in a play-off on the day she turned 19, becoming the LPGA’s youngest winner of the season in the process.
