Celine Boutier won her first Aramco Team Series event on debut in Shenzhen after holding off home star Xiyu Lin.<\/p>\n

Boutier and Lin went into the final round level pegging, but the French golfer’s bogey-free seven under gave her the victory by two shots.<\/p>\n

It is the first title for Boutier in 2024 and comes ahead of the LPGA swing in Asia, with four events over the next four weeks, starting with the LPGA Shanghai – live on Sky Sports Golf <\/em>on Thursday from 6am.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It was a great round and it was fun to battle it out. I’m very happy with my round,” said Boutier.<\/p>\n

“I wished a few putts dropped but I’m happy with how I handled today. It was close the whole day. You definitely had to be on your toes until the end and I was very happy with the last two holes.<\/p>\n

“I played solid from start to finish and felt confident over the last two days.”<\/p>\n

Lin made an excellent start to the final round with three consecutive birdies to move two clear of Boutier, who birdied the second with a brilliant approach shot onto the green.<\/p>\n

The pair shared a birdie each over the next three holes before Boutier made her move with a hat-trick of birdies over the seventh, eighth and ninth to take a one shot lead into the back nine.<\/p>\n

A bogey on the 15th for Lin proved costly as it gave Boutier some breathing room and the 30-year-old held her nerve to win for a sixth time on the Ladies European Tour.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Team Tamburlini secured a one-stroke victory in the team event as Switzerland’s Chiara Tamburlini, South Africa’s Lee-Anne Pace, China’s Qianhui Lin and amateur Yanxuan Peng took the win.<\/p>\n
