AMATEUR SARA ERICSSON TRIUMPHS IN SWEDISH PLAYOFF

Amateur Sara Ericsson of Sweden won on the first extra hole in a play-off to secure her first LET Access Series (LETAS) title at the Vasteras Open.

It was a nail-biting final day at Orresta Golf & Konferens where the local amateur started the third round as the leader, one shot clear off her playing partner and later on her play-off opponent, New Zealand's Hanee Song.

After rounds of 70 and 67 on the first two days, Ericsson had a steady start with a bogey on the fourth and birdie on the fifth before play was suspended due to bad weather.

"I was expecting a long day so when the delay was called on, I just stayed calm," said Ericsson, who was about to brighten up her last week in Europe before returning to college in the United States.
