Alice Hewson made the dream start to her professional career with a one-shot victory in her maiden event at the Investec South African Women’s Open.
The 22-year-old overturned a three-stroke deficit during an eventful final day at Westlake Golf Club to finish on five under and one ahead of Sweden's Emma Nilsson and South African Monique Smit.
Hewson birdied the par-four first and cancelled out a bogey at the third by picking up a shot at the par-five next to reach the turn in a four-way share of the lead.
The Englishwoman bounced back from a bogey at the 11th to hole a long birdie at the 13th and grab the outright lead, before a seven-foot par at the last closed out a level-par 71 and held off the chasing pack.
"I couldn't have hoped for a better start," Hewson said. "It feels absolutely incredible and it really is a dream come true. Growing up as a kid, all I could ever dream of was playing on the Ladies European Tour and to come and win my first event, the feeling is indescribable."
Scotland's Kelsey MacDonald, Manon de Roey from Belgium and Manon Gidali from France tied for fourth, while overnight leader Olivia Cowan ended tied-seventh after a closing 77.
