England’s Liz Young carded a final-round 69 to win the Swiss Ladies Open and claim her first title in her 14th season on the Ladies European Tour.
The 39-year-old finished on 12 under par at Holzhausern to beat Sweden’s rising star Linn Grant by one stroke.
England’s Rosie Davies, 32, was a shot further behind after a closing 70.
“I knew my game was coming together and I was getting better and better,” said Young. “That’s why I’m still out here. I hope my daughter is watching.”
Young, the overnight leader, recovered from an opening bogey to make birdies on the third and seventh.
Grant, 23, made a late charge with three birdies from the 15th but pars on the last four holes proved enough for Young to hold on.
She is however now leading the Race to Costa del Sol standings, the LET’s season-long order of merit competition.
