Sweden’s Maja Stark has closed with a 10-under 63 to win the ISPS Handa Invitational for her third victory this year on the Ladies European Tour – and this win came with an additional perk.
The tournament was co-sanctioned with the LPGA Tour, with Sunday’s victory giving the former Oklahoma State star access to join the LPGA.
Stark had started the final round two shots behind Amanda Doherty and quickly seized control with a 31 on the front nine at Galgorm Castle in Northern Ireland.
She had nine birdies through 14 holes and turned a tight race into a rout.
Stark finished at 20-under 271, five shots clear of Allisen Corpuz, who closed with a 68.
The tournament was held at Galgorm Castle and Massereene, played concurrently with an official European tour event.
The men and women competed separately but for the same prize fund, with Stark collecting a career-high $US225,000 ($A315,000).
Stark won two times on the LET late last year, capturing the Women’s New South Wales Open and the Amundi German Masters.
The 22-year-old Swede had the option of taking immediate LPGA membership or waiting until 2023 for her rookie year.
The LPGA Tour has nine tournaments left on its schedule before the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship in November.
