Aussies on Tour: Playoff heartbreak again for Bosio

A late bogey and a 15-year-old amateur have conspired to deny Golf Australia Rookie Squad member Justice Bosio a maiden professional win at the Amundi Czech Ladies Challenge.

Defeated in a playoff on the LET Access Series two starts back, the Caboolture product held a narrow, one-stroke advantage late in Sunday’s final round.

She dropped a shot at the par-4 16th, two-putted for par at the par-5 17th and then got up-and-down at the final hole to join England’s Gemma Clews, Austria’s Katharina Muehlbauer and teenage French amateur Alice Kong in the playoff.

It would need just one extra hole as Kong denied the three professionals with a birdie from 13 feet.

Despite the disappointment of not winning, Bosio earned a three-way share of the winner’s prize money and the crucial Order of Merit points.

Given her other runner-up finish, Bosio now leads the LET Access Series Rookie of the Year standings and has climbed to fifth on the Order of Merit, the top seven last season earning promotion to the Ladies European Tour.

There was an Aussie top 10 again on the Ladies European Tour this week with Kelsey Bennett tied 10th at the Hulencourt Women’s Open in Belgium.

It is the fourth top-10 finish of Bennett’s rookie season and elevates her to 20th on the Order of Merit.

There were a host of Aussie women jockeying for positions near the top of the leaderboard early at the Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan.

Karis Davidson led and there were six Aussies inside the top 11 through 36 holes, Davidson’s tie for seventh the best by week’s end and her best ever finish on the LPGA Tour.

Adam Scott began the final round of the US Open with high hopes of a second major championship only to fade late with a 9-over 79 while Scott Hend grabbed a share of 10th at the Costa Navarino Legends Tour Trophy.
