Nuria Iturrioz gave Spain another home champion as she rallied from behind to beat German Laura Fuenfstueck

It was Nuria's fourth Ladies European Tour (LET) title and it came in a dramatic manner with a playoff victory. Trailing by four shots prior to the third and final round, the Spaniard played the back-nine of her life as she carded one eagle and three birdies to post a 67 (-5) and take Germany's Laura Fuenfstueck to sudden death.

After the pair both birdied the par-5 18th to tie again, it was back up to the closing hole where Fuenfstuek found trouble down the left to eventually fall to a bogey.

Iturrioz took two putts for the victory as she rolled in the second from close range to seal the title. Iturrioz becomes her nation's second LET winner of the season and takes home the Euro 150,000 cash prize.

With Fuenfstueck and Gainer taking solo second and third respectively, Czechia's Kristyna Napoleaova finished outright fourth on nine-under par after battling through illness this week.

Thailand's Trichat Cheenglab, Sweden's Anna Nordqvist, and Germany's Alexandra Forsterling ended the week in a tie for fifth on eight-under par.
