Spain's Beatriz Recari got her first Ladies European Tour title due to her dear boyfriend and caddie. The 22-year-old holed her approach shot from 177 yards to eagle the par-four 18th, the first sudden death play-off hole, at Helsinki Golf Club to see off the challenge of Denmark's Iben Tinning.

Recari had taken a five-shot lead into the final day after carding a course-record 64 in the second round, but shot a 73 to Tinning's 68. She later revealed she had to be persuaded to play a Callaway x-22 four-iron into the final green by her caddie and boyfriend Andreas Thorp.

Recari said: "That was definitely the shot of my life, one to talk about to the grandchildren.

"To be honest, I owe a lot to my caddie because I hit a four-iron in the round and it was so short, so I told him, 'hybrid'.

"He said: 'We'll stick to the golf club, and it went in, so I owe him some percentage for that."
