LET TOUR: Azahara Muñoz won the Madrid Ladies Masters on her professional debut on Saturday, beating LPGA Major Champion Anna Nordqvist with an eagle at the first play-off hole.

The 21-year-old from Spain tied with the Swede on 16-under-par 203 when she shot a final round of nine under 64 in perfect scoring conditions at Club de Golf Retamares.

Nordqvist, playing a group ahead, had shot a flawless career-low round of 10-under 63, featuring 10 birdies.

Hazel Kavanagh fired a final round 75 for 220.

CHALLENGE TOUR: On a day of high drama in Denmark, Portugal's José-Filipe Lima took advantage of an uncharacteristic late wobble by playing partner Edoardo Molinari of Italy to win the truncated ECCO Tour Championship.

With just two of the 54 holes left to play at a windswept Holstebro GK, in Jutland, Lima trailed the seemingly invincible Italian by three strokes.

But when Molinari followed a triple bogey six at the 17th hole with a bogey at the last, Lima got down in two putts from 20 feet for a level par round of 72 and a third Challenge Tour title of his career.
