Lou Hing staged a remarkable come back in the space of two holes, hitting a birdie on the 15th hole and had a par on the 16th.

She had some help from de Gannes who had a five on the 15th and eight on the 16th, dropping six shots and giving Lou Hing a one stroke lead.

De Gannes again displayed her prowess stroking herself back in the game with pars on the 17th and 18th to force the play off.

Both women carded a second day 80, for a two day total of 157.

The playoff went to the second hole, with Lou Hing coming out the winner for the first time in her career.
