Germany's Martina Eberl continued the success HSPSE students have been having recently when she enjoyed a bumper pay day on the Ladies European Tour winning two titles simultaneously.  The 26-year-old from Munich collected her first professional victory at the Madrid Ladies Masters, with a first prize of €100,000. She also captured The 18 Finest by Banque Baring Brothers Sturdza SA, with another first prize of €56,500, earning €156,500 in total. The 18 Finest was a season-long event incorporating 18 holes at nine different venues. Eberl entered the third and final round of the Madrid Ladies Masters at Club de Golf Retamares trailing Sweden's Sophie Gustafson by five strokes but overcame the deficit to win by one on 13-under-par 206, after rounds of 69, 68 and 69. "It's unbelievable. I felt comfortable the whole week. I was hitting the ball well all week, putting well, a good short game, so it all came together and today I was the best." said Eberl, who had previously finished second on two occasions in a five year career. |
