Dutch golf player Christel Boeljon delighted the home fans on Sunday by winning the Ladies Open Netherlands at The International golf course near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

The 27-year-old led from start to finish with rounds of 69, 69 and 71. At 10 under par, Boeljon ended four strokes clear of Finland's Ursula Wikstrom and Denmark's Emily Kristine Pedersen.
