Wales' Breanne Loucks has won the 2008 Irish Women's Open Strokeplay at Elm Park Golf Club.
The Curtis Cup player led by five shots going into today's final round and shot a level-par 73 to win by three shots from Scotland's Roseanne Niven who closed with a three-under-par 70.
Best of the Irish was 13-year-old Lisa Maguire (Slieve Russell) a shot further back.
Lisa was runner-up to her twin Leona in the Women's Irish Close at Westport recently.
Tara Delaney from Carlow and Leona Maguire were four shots further back in joint fifth place with French under-18 international Audrey Goumard.
