Brewerton has ended her search for a Ladies European Tour title

Becky Brewerton of Wales claimed her first Ladies European Tour victory after securing a three-shot win at the English Open at Chart Hills.

The 24-year-old carded a final round 68 to end on seven under, three ahead of English duo Karen Stupples and Kirsty Taylor and Sweden's Linda Wessberg.

Brewerton had her fourth birdie of the day at the 12th and was level with Stupples with six left to play.

Stupples' challenge faded with a bogey at 13 and a double bogey at the 15th.

Brewerton has posted 16 top-10s including four runner-up spots in her career and was close to tears after sealing the victory.

"It means so much to me," she said. "I've been trying for so long. To finally do it is just unbelievable, unbelievable."

Wales' top player on the European Tour had two birdies in a steady front nine but birdies at the 10th, 12th and 16th put her in control as Stupples started to drop shots.

And with a four-point cushion going into the last, Brewerton's bogey at the last following a penalty drop made no difference to the result.

"To have had such a cushion coming up the last was just massive. It was such a good situation to be in," she added.

"When I took the penalty drop it was a case of just making it onto the green. I knew then, even if I three-putted I would still win so it was nice to have a tap in there and get it over with."

Stupples was playing in her first tournament since giving birth 10 weeks ago and was pleased with her efforts despite her second place.

"This tournament is really two weeks early for me from where I wanted to be fitness wise," she said. "I'm so happy. Tied for second - what more could I ask for really?"
