Two birdies on 7 and 9 fed her hopes of a comeback, which she sealed with three more in the last four holes. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the last, with Boulden already in the clubhouse waiting for the resolution of the final match, the Malaga player got the winning birdie, while Hernandez, who was equal with the Welsh player and her partner, had to settle for a par in a black day in which she ruined all the work of the first three days. Three bogeys in the second half of the course buried her chances of victory. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Mu\u00f1oz, who combines the European and North American circuits, finished victorious with a total of 269 strokes, eleven under par, one ahead of Boulden and Mu\u00f1oz, while England&#8217;s Florentyna Parker was fourth and Spain&#8217;s Carlota Ciganda finished sixth, five strokes behind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Azahara Mu\u00f1oz from Malaga retained her title at the Ladies Open de France, played at the Chantaco course in San Juan de Luz, with a birdie on the last hole, which prevented a playoff with Mar\u00eda Hern\u00e1ndez from Navarre, leader from the beginning, and Amy Boulden from Wales.
