Pamela Pretswell's hopes of back-to-back wins playing as an amateur on a developmental pro tour were blown away by a 25mph north-easterly wind at Kiev Golf Club in the Ukraine today.
She had a third and final round of five-over 77 - which was just about par in the conditions - for a final total of six-over 222 which earned her third place in the Golf Stream Women's Open, one of the Ladies European Tour's Access Series events.
Pamela had a double bogey 6 at the third and dropped another shot at the fourth but the real killer to her hopes was a string of five bogeys in six holes from the eighth to the 13th but she came back off the ropes to birdie the short 17th and long 18th to grab third place which will help her consolidate second place in the LETAS Order of Merit - the top three at the end of the season will gain automatic promotion to the 2013 Ladies European Tour without having to go to Tour School.
The winner by four strokes at Kiev was Russian Anastasia Kostina.
