Aditi Ashok wins Open de Espana after 'great battle'

India's Aditi Ashok claimed her second victory of the season in the Open de Espana as Thailand's Trichat Cheenglab won the Race to Costa del Sol title.

Ashok carded a closing 66 at Real Club de Golf Las Brisas to finish 17 under par, two shots clear of Holland's Anne van Dam.

"It was a great battle," Ashok said.

"Anne, when she's playing good, she can blow the field away and win by five to 10 shots. I knew I had to not stop making birdies and to keep trying. She is a great player and kept me honest out there."

Cheenglab could only finish in a tie for 55th after a closing 74, but that proved enough to finish top of the money list by less than 100 points ahead of Evian Championship winner Celine Boutier.

The 28-year-old is the sixth player to win both the Race to Costa del Sol and Rookie of the Year titles in the same season on the Ladies European Tour.
