After rounds of 71-72 she played very steady and kept bogeys off the card.

“It was nice to get a clean sweep,” Tvesa said.

Among other Indians, amateur Avani Prashanth (69-70-72) and Vani Kapoor (68-70-73) both finished T-33rd, while 2023 champion Diksha Dagar (71-72-70) and Pranavi Urs (71-69 – 73) were both T-43e. Ridhima Dilawari (70-72-72) was T-54 when all six Indians made the cut.

Spain’s Marta Martin scored an exceptional 63 (-9) on the last day and won by four strokes.

The Spanish star had produced rounds of 69 and 67 over the first two days to finish tied for second after 36 holes at Royal Beroun Golf Club.

Martin went on a birdie spree on the final day, hitting seven consecutive birdies on holes five through 11, helping her secure victory with a total of 17 under par.

It was the Spaniard’s second professional victory and her second in the Czech Republic after winning the Amundi Czech Ladies Challenge at the LET Access Series in 2023.

The 27-year-old dropped her only shot of the day on the 12th but immediately bounced back with a birdie on 13 and rolled in another on 15, sealing her lowest ever round on the LET of nine under par.

England’s Rosie Davies finished in second place, her best ever result at the LET, after also shooting a 63 (-9) on the final day.

Finland’s Ursula Wikstrom, Wales’ Chloe Williams and Sweden’s Caroline Hedwall all finished in a share of third place at 12 under par.

Austria’s Emma Spitz ended her week in sixth place on 11 under par after a final day of 67 (-5), while Spain’s Nuria Iturrioz was one shot ahead on 10 under par after a score of 66 (-6).

Five players finished in a tie for eighth place, together with Slovenia’s Pia Babnik, Finland’s Sanna Nuutinen, South Africa’s Lee-Anne Pace, Spain’s Maria Hernandez and England’s Hannah Screen, all at nine under par.

Next week the LET travels to Golfpark Holzhäusern for the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open from June 28-30.

Led by Diksha and Tvesa, there will again be six Indians in the field. Vani Kapoor and Ridhima Dilawari, Seher Atwal and Amandeep Drall are also present. Pranavi skips the event.
