Manon De Roey wins maiden Ladies European Tour title in Bangkok

Manon De Roey claimed her maiden Ladies European Tour title after winning the individual crown in the Aramco Team Series in Bangkok by three strokes.

A bogey-free 66 in the third and final round took the Belgian to the top of the leaderboard on 13 under par overall, with Sweden's Johanna Gustavsson settling for the runner-up spot.

"It feels great! I was waiting for this for a long time, so I'm very happy," said De Roey. "I fought really hard and I’m happy I came through and got the win."

After overnight leader Patty Tavatanakit dropped three shots on the front nine to relinquish her lead, it was De Roey and England’s Felicity Johnson who set the pace early on.

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.

"I 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," she continued.

"I 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’m really happy I have got it now."

Scotland’s Kylie Henry registered six birdies and three bogeys in her 69 to claim a share of third place alongside Thailand’s Patty Tavatanakit, the overnight leader whose one-over 73 dropped her back.

Henry, who finished on eight-under in only her third tournament since fracturing her elbow last October, said: "I played really solid.

"I 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.

"I missed a few out there, but I guess that’s going to happen sometimes. On the whole I’m absolutely delighted. This is
