Manon De Roey claimed her maiden Ladies European Tour title after winning the individual crown in the Aramco Team Series in Bangkok by three strokes.
A bogey-free 66 in the third and final round took the Belgian to the top of the leaderboard on 13-under-par overall, with Sweden's Johanna Gustavsson settling for the runner-up spot.
Overnight leader Patty Tavatanakit dropped three shots on the front nine to relinquish her lead, as De Roey followed a front-nine 34 with four birdies in a six-hole stretch on her back nine to become the third Belgian to win on the LET.
"I started quite strongly. I was hitting it quite close and made a birdie on the second," De Roey said. "I just stayed patient and dropped in some good putts. I have been working hard on my game and I was just trying to stay patient for the win. I was really hoping to get this win last year, so I'm really happy I have got it now."
Scotland's Kylie Henry registered six birdies and three bogeys in her 69 to claim a share of third place alongside Thailand's Patty Tavatanakit, the overnight leader whose one-over 73 dropped her back.
Henry, who finished on eight under in only her third tournament since fracturing her elbow last October, said: "I played really solid. I felt like I could really trust my swing all week, so I was really happy with my long game and even I putted mostly good.
"I missed a few out there, but I guess that's going to happen sometimes. On the whole I'm absolutely delighted. This is only my third tournament back after breaking my elbow. I'm delighted."
England's Felicity Johnson settled for a three-way tie for fifth after a level-par 72, dropping down the leaderboard after two bogeys in her final three holes.
One shot behind on six under overall was compatriot Charley Hull, who finished in a share of eighth.
