Ladies European Tour: Cara Gainer wins for the first time at Lalla Meryem Cup after a dramatic playoffs | Golf news
England’s Emperor Gainer defeated the European Tour of Maiden Ladies in her event after a dramatic playoffs at Lalla Mery’s Cup.
Gainer’s previous best result was the second at the Belgian Ladies Open 2022, but on Saturday she recorded her biggest career triumph after defeating Indian Diksha Dagar on the title.
The 29-year-old eventually took place with a cold bird hole for the play-off, while Dagar made a beetle to get to the top after the couple were on a total of nine.
Gainer was one of nine players inside the leader of Shannon Tan overnight, who lost the lead in the front nine because she did not make a single bird.
Spanish Nuria Iturrioz four consecutive birds on halfway saw her take over the lead, but four godfathers on her back pulled her out of the quarrel.

Meanwhile, Gainer and Dagar have been at a level in the last nine holes. Dagar was bird on 11 and 13, but he broke through the 14th, before Gainer made a hat-trick bird before the last hole and ended the day at four under 69.
Dagar’s six below 67 meant that the play-off was needed to be titled, and the gain came out on top with another bird.
