England’s Cara Gainer claimed the first Ladies European Tour win of her career in a play-off at the Lalla Meryem Cup on Saturday.
The 29-year-old defeated India’s Diksha Dagar to lift the title in Morocco.
Gainer posted a final round of four-under 69, while 24-year-old Dagar finished on six-under 67, leaving the pair tied on nine under overall.
A bogey for Dagar opened the door for Gainer to take victory by birdieing the play-off hole.
Ireland’s Lauren Walsh finished joint-fourth with Nuria Iturrioz on seven under, while England’s Annabell Fuller ended level on six under with France’s Nastasia Nadaud.
Gainer was one of nine players chasing down overnight leader Shannon Tan after Friday’s third round.
Singapore’s Tan was overtaken by the first nine holes, however, as she failed to make any birdies, eventually ending the tournament in third.
Iturrioz started brightly with four consecutive birdies to take the lead, but the Spaniard dropped out of the running after four bogeys on the back nine.
