Gwladys Nocera wins Hero Women’s Indian Open

Gwladys Nocera from France collected her first title of the 2014 season with a dominant display in the Hero Women’s Indian Open.

With rounds of 64, 72 and 72, she finished with an 11 under par total of 208 at Delhi Golf Club, five strokes clear of three other players.

England’s Hannah Burke, Fabienne In-Albon from Switzerland and Korean Hyeon Seo Kang tied for second on six under, while India’s Vaishavi Sinha double bogeyed the 18th to drop into solo fifth place.

Nocera began the final round with a two stroke advantage over Sinha and birdied the second to move three ahead, before a three-putt bogey on the fifth.

After another bogey on the ninth, where her second shot found the bunker, Nocera was two clear at the turn. With birdies on 11 and 12, she went three clear of Sinha and then a final birdie on the short 17th gave her a four stroke lead with a hole to play.

After making a par on 18, she sealed her 13th Ladies European Tour victory and her second Indian title, after she won the EMAAR-MGF Ladies Masters at Eagleton Golf Resort in Bangalore in 2007.

With her winnings of €36,478, she is now back in the hunt to take the order of merit for a second time, after last winning the title in 2008.
