Bregman takes solid form to USA

American Beth Allan fired a final round 67 to defeat Florentyna Parker by four shots on 14-under-par 266 for the Lacoste Ladies Open de France title, while Stacy Bregman was the top South African finisher in the field with a tie for 21st.

The Sunshine Ladies Tour winner carded rounds of 72, 67, 69 and 73 at Golf de Chantaco to finish in a five-way tie on one-over-par 281.

Connie Chen finished a further 10 shots back in a tie for 49th and Nicole Garcia missed the cut by one shot after rounds of 72 and 74.

The Ladies European Tour will also be heading east to China for the Xiamen International Ladies Open. Garcia and Chen will join the action at the Xiamen Orient Golf and Country Club, but Bregman and fellow Sunshine Tour campaigners Carrie Park and Nobuhle Dlamini are travelling to the United States for the Second Stage of the LPGA Tour Qualifying School.
