Hull earned a winner’s prize of $750,000 (\u00a3549,000), kicking off the 2026 season in style by winning on the same course where she claimed her last LET title in 2024. <\/p>\n
She was told of her win as she waited on the practice green, replying: “Hooray, at least I can pay my house off now!<\/p>\n
“I’ve worked really hard this off season so it’s nice to get a result pretty much straight away. It’s one of the bigger events on the LET and it’s kind of a like a home event for me.”<\/p>\n
Hull started the day three shots off the lead and made the turn in two under for the day. <\/p>\n
She dropped a second shot of the round on the 10th, but picked up four in the next three holes, with her charge including a 60-foot eagle putt on the par-five 12th. <\/p>\n
Further birdies followed at the par-five 15th and 18th, putting the onus on her rivals to match her. <\/p>\n
Iwai, who had moved into a share of the lead with a golden touch on the greens, bogeyed the 17th with a damaging three-putt that left her two shots back.<\/p>\n
And, after Alexander also bogeyed the penultimate hole, Hull was finally able to celebrate, even after Iwai birdied the last for a 67.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, 24-year-old Rhodes kicked off her campaign to make September’s Solheim Cup team with a superb final round that included six birdies and just one dropped shot. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
