Anne Van Dam, who won the Mediterranean Ladies Open Estrella Damm in Sitges two months ago, returned cards of 68, 67, 66 and 70 for a total of 13 cents per par at La Quinta Golf Resort in Benahavís, Marbella.

The 23-year-old Arnhem was in possession of a three-stroke lead when the darkness of the night forced the game to be suspended overnight.

After finishing the third round on Sunday morning, she made three birdies on the last five holes, but in the last round, the champion of 2016 and 2017, Azahara Muñoz, did her best to catch her.

Muñoz scared Van Dam when she narrowed the lead to two strokes with four birdies in six of the returning nine, but a double buggy in the 16th, where she lost her ball on a rocky slope beyond the green, stopped its course. She took second place at 10 under the par after a final card of 69.

Scotland's Catriona Matthew finished four strokes behind, six under par, one point ahead of Spain's Natalia Escuriola Martinez and Germany's Olivia Cowan.

England's Hannah Burke and Spain's Luna Sobron were relegated to sixth place. Finns Krista Bakker and Spaniard Marta Sanz Barrio secured their places for the 2019 Ladies European Tour season with a tied eighth place.

Georgia Hall tied for 10th.

This is another brilliant performance for Anne Van Dam, who finished second in the Order of Merit and won the bonus of 45 euros.

After two birdies on the fourth and sixth holes, she started at 10 with a six stroke lead. A series of seven pars on the return, followed by a bogey on the 17th and a short par on the 18th par-4 proved to be more than enough to win her third Ladies European Tour title.

She said: “I didn't know Spain at all, but I like it. The weather was rough all week and approaching the greens was difficult with the amount of spin I had. Today I hit a lot of good shots on the back nines despite some awkward putts. The conditions were not easy, but I am happy with the way I played the course. "

Van Dam became the only multiple winner of the Ladies European Tour in 2018 and, comparing her victories, she said: “I think I was a little more nervous with this one, going down the last few holes. In Spain, a few months ago, everything was fine. Here it was a bit more complicated so I had to work harder. It's a different victory, but also a good one, definitely. "

Muñoz, who had birdies on the first two holes on the last lap, but missed shots on the fifth and ninth holes, threw a charge, but made a costly mistake in the 16th, where he hit too hard hybrid club and then had to start from the tee.

“It was a little bittersweet at the end, but I gave myself a chance. I was 6 shots behind the leader halfway through and was only two shots away when I only had three left to go. I had to be aggressive and I probably picked the wrong club, but I wanted to birdie and I don't regret it ”, she said.

“I am always proud of myself. I wanted to win in front of everyone, but I finished second and it was another very good week. "

Matthew, the captain of the 2019 Solheim Cup, who has played with Van Dam in the last two innings, will be watching her closely for the next nine months before the next game at Gleneagles in Scotland.

She said: “Obviously there are always a few new faces to the squad so if she plays well next year she would be a great addition to the squad. She hits the ball for miles! "
