A special triumph for Noemí Jiménez at The Gecko
The puppies of Guadalmina doesn’t stop. This time was Noemí Jiménez' s turn at Atalaya Golf & Country Club (Old), designed by the german Bernhard von Limburger. Tremendous denouement of the 11th tournament of the refference winter circuit season of the old continent, The Gecko Tour.
It seemed that the 67 (-4) of Noemi at the second round wouldn’t be enough to take the victory until Conner's stumble (bogeys 17 and 18 holes) and Galiano`s (bogey 18 hole) arrived in the final stretch of the course.
The party began (at least for the spectator). Conner, Galiano, Jones and our loved Noemi were tied with -6 at the end of the two rounds so it was necessary to go out for a playoff.
The player of Guadalmina and Sam Connor continued ahead after a birdie in the first hole of the play off.
And another birdie for Jimenez to take the title. The joy was twofold, Noemi becames the first Lady to win a Gecko tournament in the six years of life of the circuit, where most competitotr as we know are gentlemen. Historical win.
We can´t think a better way to start the year, Noemi. Lots of luck in your 2nd season on the Ladies European Tour. Come on!
Congratulations, champion!
