Norway’s Celine Borge held off a final round challenge from Annabel Wilson to claim an impressive four-shot win in the Irish U18 Girls’ Open Stroke Play Championship at Roganstown Hotel & Country Club.

Weather conditions couldn’t have been better for the 50 girls who made the cut for the final round and overnight leader Borge was a deserving winner on level par 213. 

She extended her lead early on in her round, covering the front nine in two under to keep Wilson at bay.

The Lurgan player got to within two shots with a birdie at the third but she bogeyed the seventh and double bogeyed the eighth to fall five behind at the turn and then dropped four shots in a row from the 12th, eventually carding a 76 to share 10th place with clubmate Niamh McSherry on seven over 220.

Borge ended up cruising to victory, carding a one under par 70 to finish four shots ahead of Sweden’s Linn Grant and England’s Cloe Frankish, who both shot identical scores of 73, 72 and 72 to finish on four over.

The Swedish trio of Louise Henningsson, Ellen Hutchinson-Kay and Matilde Stenquist came from behind to win the Nations Cup by three strokes from Ireland’s McSherry, Wilson and Mairead Martin.
