Felicity Johnson wins Tenerife Ladies Open

After a neck and neck struggle with Wales Becky Brewerton, 22 year old Felicity Johnson from Birmingham won her first tournament in a tense finish at Golf Costa Adeje.

For Felicity it was all about perseverance as she reeled her rival in, starting 3 shots behind she clinched the title at the 18th hole to finish on 274, 14 under par. It was more heartbreak for Becky, she also finished runner up in 2003 and 2004.

Felicity made a storming run on the final 2 days and a 5 metre putt at the 17th hole swung the advantage her way on the final run in. Bettina Hauert of Germany finished third and the top amateur was Mireia Prat of Spain.

The top trios scores over the 4 days were

• Felicity Johnson 69, 72, 66, 67  Total 274
• Becky Brewerton 66, 69, 69, 72  Total 276
• Bettina Hauert 69, 73, 67,72 Total 281

Speaking after her win, Felicity was full of praise for the course and her competitors, and was planning a big night out to celebrate, starting with Go Karting with her friends.
