England's Eleanor Givens won her first Ladies European Tour title at the 210th attempt with a one-shot victory at the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open. The 37-year-old carded a five-under 66 on the third and final day in Zug, retaking the lead at 17 with her fifth birdie of a blemish-free final round and then parring the last. Alexandra Forsterling - who chipped in for a remarkable par at 14 after her ball got stuck in a tree off the tee - shared second place on 12 under alongside Ireland's Anna Foster and Australia's Whitney Hillier, with Sweden's Kajsa Arwefjaell fifth on 11 under.

Her gains on Saturday came at two, three, seven and 10 ahead of picking up a decisive shot on the penultimate hole as she became the third English winner on the LET this year. Charley Hull won the season-opening PIF Saudi Ladies International in February, while Esme Hamilton claimed a maiden title on the tour with victory at the South African Women's Open in April.
