Inés Tusquets has been proclaimed the winner of the prestigious Belgian Junior International after beating local player Lien Willems in the final on the second playoff hole, after playing two rounds of the Royal Golf Club of Belgium course.

The Barcelona native staged an epic comeback after finishing tied in the two 18-hole rounds needed to determine the champion. Local favorite Lien Willems – who had the home crowd on her side – proved a formidable opponent, only succumbing on the second playoff hole.

In previous rounds, Tusquets displayed her best skills. First, she demonstrated her strength – finishing first in the preliminary round before the knockout stage – and then she demonstrated her resilience, especially during this last round and in the quarterfinals and semifinals, winning on the 19th hole in the latter two cases.

The other Spanish representative, Sonia Cologan, fell in the round of 32 of this Belgian Junior International. The Canary Islander couldn't find a way to overcome South African Stacy Bregman, who won the match on the 17th hole. To reach this round, Cologan had finished the first phase tied for 19th place after posting a second round of 81 strokes.
