Karen Margrethe Juul put the seal on a magnificent performance with a final round 68 to claim her first Ladies European Tour victory on home soil at the Nykredit Masters in Denmark.
The 30-year-old from Copenhagen who has worked with HSPSE at both the Ladies British Open and on the eve of the Danish Open, finished four strokes clear of England 's Laura Davies and Trish Johnson, at Odense Eventyr Golf Club. In fact it was a 1-2 for HSPSE with Trish Johnson finishing 2nd. Trish had also worked with HSPSE at both Lythm for the British and on both the Tuesday and Wednesday in Denmark.
Karen whose previous best finish in a Ladies European Tour event was fourth in the Deutsche Bank Ladies Swiss Open, proved unstoppable in front of the home galleries and won on a total of 15-under-par 275. The win earned her €30,000 (£20,380).
"Its fantastic," said Juul. "This is the best place I could ever have won a tournament. I was pretty nervous on the last few holes but my caddy Rasmus helped to keep me cool."
