South Australia’s Kristalle Blum wins in Belgium.
South Australia’s Kristalle Blum has recorded her first victory on the LET Access Series, claiming the Golf Vlaanderen LETAS Trophy by one stroke in Belgium.
The 24-year-old carried a one-shot advantage into the final round and extended it to two with an early birdie on the par-five third.
There were five bogeys on the way to victory but Blum’s three-over 75 was just enough to take a significant step towards a full card on the Ladies European Tour in 2023.
“I was very nervous the last few holes and just tried to focus on my breathing,” Blum conceded.
“I had no idea where I sat on the leaderboard, so I just had to keep doing my thing and I’m glad it was enough.”
It was particularly special for Blum as she has had her brother Nick on the bag for the last three LETAS events, where she has had two top-10 finishes and now a victory.
