Gallery: How boyfriend inspired Hensleit to defend Magical Kenya Ladies Open title 

KILIFI, Kenya, Feb 14 – After staging a scintillating comeback to defend her Magical Kenya Ladies Open title in Vipingo Ridge PGA Golf Club, German’s Esther Hensleit has revealed that her boyfriend played a key role.

The boyfriend caddied her all through the four-days tournament, guiding her on tactics on how to dethrone Swede Linnea Strom, who took charge of the lead for three days before dropping the ball on the final day.

“A special thank you to my boyfriend who caddied for me this week and was also my coach and really helped me over the last year with my swing so he is very important today,” a jolly Hensleit said in her acceptance speech.

Capital Sport was in Vipingo for the four days and covered the final, here is the beautiful scenes how the dramatic final day went down.
