Chiara Tamburlini secured a dramatic play-off win over Kirsten Rudgeley at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France.
With the pair locked at seven-under par it was back to the 18th hole at Golf Barriere, where the Swiss rookie produced an excellent birdie after her Aussie opponent's effort came up short.
The victory is Tamburlini’s second of 2024 after she dominated in South Africa to claim the Joburg Ladies Open.
"It was way too stressful," she said afterwards. "Kirsten played so well today, especially on the back nine, she really lit it up and it was tough for me to keep up.
"The birdie on 17 in regular play was huge to keep up with her. And then the birdie on the playoff hole was incredible. I can’t really believe it right now. It all went so fast."
Kildare's Lauren Walsh closed with a 70 to finish on two under in a share of 12th, while Cork native Sara Byrne was three shots further back in a tie for 28th.
