Charley Hull won the season-opening Ladies European Tour event with a one-shot victory at the LET’s PIF Saudi Ladies International in Riyadh after a final-round 65.
What ultimately proved a tournament-clinching birdie on her18th hole saw England’s Hull, who had already eagled the par-five 12th, finish her final round at seven-under par and post a clubhouse lead of 19-under for the tournament.
Still on the course, South Africa’s Casandra Alexander had a chance to either deny Hull outright – or force a playoff – from 19-under herself but a bogey at the 17th hole was followed by a par at the 18th.
Alexander therefore finished in a tie for second with Japan’s Akie Iwai on 18-under.
Victory in Saudi Arabia marks Hull’s first tournament triumph since winning on the LPGA Tour in Cincinnati in September, while it is the 29-year-old’s first Ladies European Tour crown since November 2024 at an Aramco Team Series event, also in Riyadh.
She has now won five LET titles.
Hull’s compatriot Mimi Rhodes shot a final round 67 and finished in a tie for sixth.
