Noora Tamminen fires 65 in fourth round of Lalla Aicha Tour School
Noora Tamminen of Finland surprised rivals in the fourth round of Lalla Aicha Tour School 2013, shooting a 65 to stand firm at the 23rd position on the leaderboard.
Noora is an amateur and posting a solid score in the presence of several professionals spoke of her talent. The Finnish star could not get off to a strong start as she carded a 74 in the first
round, but she was happy after strengthening her position.
Noora aims to finish the tournament inside the 30th position, in order to grab the LET (Ladies European Tour) membership. However, she may face stiff competition, given the latest
leaderboard positions.
It was a fiery performance in every sense as the young gun stood clear of bogeys throughout the day and managed to sink seven birdies.
She parred the first six holes in a row and launched her first birdie on the difficult par-3 7th hole. On the back nine, she picked up pace, rattling off three straight birdies
on the 10th, 11th and 12th hole.
Commentators said that the greens suited to most of the players’ playing style, and Noora was one of those making the most of favourable weather and course conditions.
Coming on strong once again, the amateur star shot two consecutive birdies on the 14th and 15th hole, further boosting her position on the leaderboard.
Speaking to the media about her performance on Sunday, Noora said that she felt a bit nervous when she started her round, but it all became easier as the round edged closer to its end.
“The first nine was I was one under and then, I made three birdies in a row on 10,11,12 and then two more birdies in a row on 14 to 15, and finished with a birdie on last hole. A bogey-free
round!” the Finnish golfer said.
Cheyenne Woods, who shot an explosive 68 in the second round, could not maintain her momentum in the third and fourth round as she carded a 74 and 73 respectively, denting her position.
“I played well until the last three holes. I kind of finished a little rough so hopefully I’ll be able to pick it back up tomorrow,” said Woods who is niece of former world number one Tiger
Woods.
