Belgium\u2019s Manon De Roey clinched her first LET title winning the Aramco Team Series \u2013 Bangkok Individual title by three strokes.\u00a0The 30-year-old went into the final day two shots behind the leader, but equalled the course record firing a bogey-free 66 (-6) to win with a total of 13-under-par.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels great! I was waiting for this for a long time, so I\u2019m very happy,\u201d said De Roey. \u201cI fought really hard and I\u2019m happy I came through and got the win.\u201d<\/p>\n

After overnight leader Patty Tavatanakit dropped three shots on the front nine to relinquish her lead, it was De Roey and England\u2019s Felicity Johnson who set the pace early on.<\/p>\n

But it was on the back nine where De Roey made her mark rolling in birdies on 10, 12, 14 and 15 to seal a three-shot victory and become the third Belgian to win on the LET.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started quite strongly. I was hitting it quite close and made a birdie on the second. I just stayed patient and dropped in some good putts,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been working hard on my game and I was just trying to stay patient for the win. I was really hoping to get this win last year, so I\u2019m really happy I have got it now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sweden\u2019s Johanna Gustavsson continued her excellent form in 2022 with another second-place finish as she carded a bogey-free 68 (-4) to finish on 10-under-par.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m very happy. It’s been a good week,\u201d said the Swede, who has had three second places in 2022. \u201cI’ve had fun with the girls in the Team event, and today was very fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019m pleased with how solid my game is. It is quite straightforward and obviously there were no bogeys today which is always nice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe putting has been decent, yesterday I struggled a little bit, but I got through it, and I holed a lot of putts in the middle of the round. Today that was my only concern, but I thought I got through it pretty nicely and I\u2019m proud of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scotland\u2019s Kylie Henry and Thailand\u2019s Tavatanakit finished in a tie for third place with a total of eight-under-par.<\/p>\n

The Scot, who fractured her elbow last October and was out for four months, produced a final round of 69 (-3) which included six birdies and three bogeys.<\/p>\n

\u201cI played really solid today,\u201d said Henry. \u201cI felt like I could really trust my swing all week, so I was really happy with my long game and even I putted mostly good.<\/p>\n

\u201cI missed a few out there, but I guess that’s going to happen sometimes. On the whole I’m absolutely delighted. This is only my third tournament back after breaking my elbow. I’m delighted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three players were in a share of fifth place on seven-under-par including the 2022 Madrid Ladies Open champion Ana Pel\u00e1ez<\/a>, as well as Thailand\u2019s Ariya Jutanugarn and England\u2019s Johnson.<\/p>\n

England\u2019s Charley Hull and Australia\u2019s Whitney Hillier were T8 on six-under with South African Casandra Alexander, Argentina\u2019s Magdalena Simmermacher and Spain\u2019s Paz Marfa Sans one shot further back in a tie for 10th<\/sup> place.<\/p>\n

In the 2022 Race to Costa del Sol<\/a>, Sweden\u2019s Maja Stark still leads with 1457.50 points while Gustavsson\u2019s second place has moved her up to second and she now has 1134 points.<\/p>\n

De Roey\u2019s victory has seen her climb up the rankings to third place and she has 1027 points to her name, while Simmermacher is fourth with 910.50 and Lee-Anne Pace is fifth with 781.92.<\/p>\n

Winners from this season Linn Grant, Meghan MacLaren and Pel\u00e1ez sit sixth, seventh, and eight with Michele Thomson in ninth and Linnea Str\u00f6m rounds off the top ten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
