Ladies European Tour: Carolina Chacarra wins Hulencourt Women's Open as Bronte Law, Hannah Screen record top-10 finishes

Carolina Chacarra won her maiden Ladies European Tour title in just her third start by finishing on 12 under at the Hulencourt Women's Open in Belgium.

The Spaniard's remarkable second-round 65 - which tied the course record - put her in control heading into the weekend, and she bounced back well from a disappointing third-round 73 with four birdies in her final-round 68 to secure a prize pot that eclipsed all of her previous career earnings on the tour combined.

Chacarra's older brother Eugenio plays on the DP World Tour and enjoyed a superb June with victories at the KLM Open and Open d'Italia last weekend.

Meanwhile, Englishwoman Bronte Law finished fourth on four under after a final-round 70, one shot ahead of fellow Brit Hannah Screen in sixth after she finished the weekend strongly with a 66.

"The day went great and I'm so happy," Chacarra said. "No bogeys, some nice birdies, everything was great. My caddie [Ivan] talked about it at the beginning of the round about sticking to my process. We gave ourselves lots of chances on the back nine.

"I was definitely nervous, especially the last three holes. I had a little bit of adrenaline so I was telling my caddie we needed to take some metres off the yardage. But it was great.

"My goal was just to enjoy the week and try to get into the Scottish Open. So to win is amazing and I'm very happy.

"My brother is my inspiration and to see him win gave me lots of momentum to keep going and try to win myself."

Kelsie Bennett took a two-shot lead into the final round but finished three shots behind Chacarra on nine under following a final-day 73. After a disappointing front nine saw her notch a bogey without any birdies, two more bogeys on the back nine proved the nail in the coffin as the Australian ended as runner-up.

Olympian Aditi Ashok recorded five birdies and three bogeys in a final-round 70 to secure a seven-under finish and third on the leaderboard as she continues her preparation for the Evian Championship next week, live on Your Site.

Luna Sobron Galmes equalled Chacarra's course record in her final round with an astonishing 10-birdie performance - which also included a bogey and a double-bogey - but a third-round 76 meant she finished outside the top 20 on two over.

The women's major season continues at the Amundi Evian Championship, held from July 9-12 at Evian Resort Golf Club in France and live on Your Site. or .
