Iben Tinning

Iben Tinning (born 4 February 1974 in Copenhagen) is a Danish golfer. Her first two wins on the Ladies European Tour (LET) came in 2002. In 2003 she won the LPGA Tour's Qualifying Tournament, but her 2004 LPGA rookie season was disappointing and she lost her card. Back in Europe, in 2005 she finished top of the Order of Merit, becoming the first Danish golfer to top the money list on any major international tour. As of the end of the 2005 season she had won five tournaments on the LET. She was a member of the European Solheim Cup team in 2002, 2003 and 2005. In 2007 Tinning played in the Solheim Cup losing her singles match to Juli Inkster.

Tinning also lead the Dubai Ladies Masters after 70 holes, before Annika Sorenstam sunk a 17-foot birdie putt on 17 to tie Tinning who missed an 8-footer for birdie. On the 18 th Tinning hit her approach to the Par 5 into the water allowing Sorenstam to an easy victory.

Tinning left the course in tears.
