Golf Las Américas has once again been named by Deportes & Business as the best course in Spain in the organisation of golf tournaments. The prize which over the last 2 years has been awarded to La Reserva de Sotogrande and La Sella was presented to Golf Las Americas at the annual lunch hosted by D & B.

This prize is presented by D & B at the end of each year to the golf course that best meets their criteria for tournament organisation. Amongst some of the factors which they consider are care of sponsors, golf course preparation and condition and professionalism of the staff.

The team from D & B hosted a lunch “Cooking by D & B” last week to present the award. The restaurant Guipúzcoa in “Casa del Campo” hosted the lunch and prize giving cermony where Joan Piferrer, director from Golf Las Américas was presented with the recognitation by Iñigo Aramburu and Alicia Garrido the directors from D & B.

Alicia Garrido in presenting the award to Golf Las Américas mentioned some of the qualities which made Golf Las Américas the winner in 2011 for the fourth time. She went on to say that “It is surely not a coincidence that during these difficult times in the industry that Golf Las Américas is breaking records with the number green fees sales they have made during the month of November even breaking previous records set in 2003.

Iñigo Aramburu also mentioned that “the work philosophy which predominates at Golf Las Américas works perfectly with our own idology” and he thinks that this work practice will help in overcoming these difficult times.

Joan Piferrer after receiving the trophy commented “that to host an event organised by Deporte & Business is relatively easy and its a pleasure to work with such professional tournament organisers”

This award which is now in it’s 7th year has previously been won by Golf Las Américas in 2006, 2007 and 2008. The club hosted in June 2011 the Ladies European Tour (LET) event the Tenerife Ladies Match Play.

Becky Brewerton fired a four under par 68 in the strokeplay format at the Tenerife Ladies Match Play on Sunday, earning a one shot victory at Golf Las Américas in the Canary Islands.

The 28-year-old from Abergele in North Wales played superb golf to hold off the challenge of Australian Nikki Garrett and Spain’s rising star Carlota Ciganda, who shared second on her professional debut.

It was Brewerton’s third victory as a professional following wins at the 2007 English Open and the 2009 Spanish Open. She had previously finished second three times in Tenerife, including once on the same golf course as an amateur in 2003.

“I’ve finished second three times in Tenerife so it’s nice to finally get a win and obviously it’s been a while since I’ve won, so it’s a brilliant feeling,” said Brewerton.

“I think Tenerife is a place where I always get a little bit of luck as well. I holed a chip shot, holed a bunker shot, I had a couple of nice bounces out there as well. I made lots of birdies and threw in a couple of hairy moments as well. A few mistakes but just about managed to get it done. I’ve been playing well all week and it’s nice to obviously finish off well.”

Brewerton had secured the most comprehensive victory of the opening day on Friday, when she defeated Australian Kristie Smith 8&6 in the matchplay format.

She then ousted 79-time tournament champion Laura Davies in the second round of matchplay on Saturday with a birdie on the 19th hole. Davies told Brewerton on Twitter: “Keep swinging like that and you’ve got a big summer ahead.”

As one of the last eight players in the event, Brewerton went into the final round full of confidence and earned the early advantage with birdies on the second, fifth and seventh holes. At the seventh, she hit a rescue club from 210 yards to set up an eagle chance, but just missed from 12 feet.

At the par-five ninth, she dropped a shot after missing the green with her second shot, but hit the turn one ahead at two under par.

She holed a bunker shot for birdie from the right side of the 10th green, then, after finding sand again on 11, she dropped a shot but quickly recovered, sinking a seven-footer on the par-three 13th.

There was a ‘hairy moment’ on 14 when her tee shot came to rest behind some palm trees resulting in a second shot which flew the green, but she played an excellent chip to five feet and holed the putt for par.

She dropped a shot at the 15th, but two-putted for birdie from 35 feet at the next. After signing off with a birdie on 18, there was a tense wait by the clubhouse with both Ciganda and Garrett able to tie with a birdie.

Brewerton said: “It’s funny: I had great memories when I got back to the course. I remembered all the holes straight away. I was pretty sure this is where I’d finished second as an amateur in the Tenerife Ladies Open and I’ve actually got a picture up on my wall, from the course here, from under one of the palm trees from my dad, when he was caddying for me.”

She hopes that the win will kick-start her season, as she has recently recovered from a foot injury, which started in Portugal. She said: “This is the main start of the season coming up with some massive tournaments. I’m absolutely desperate to make The Solheim team so I’ve just got to try and make as many points as possible.”

Although Solheim Cup points were not awarded, her performance will certainly have caught the eye of European Captain Alison Nicholas, who will be making notes for her team selection ahead of the big matchplay event at Killeen Castle in Ireland from September 23-25.
