September 30, 2013 – Azahara Muñoz of Spain came from a stroke behind the all-French trio of Gwladys Nocera, Joanna Klatten and Valentine Derrey to claim her second Ladies European Tour title at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France.

The 25-year-old from Malaga saved par on the par-four 18th hole, getting up and down from the back of the green, to win by a stroke from Nocera and Derrey, who both had 67s at Chantaco Golf Club. Rounds of 68, 65, 68 and 65 gave Muñoz a winning total of 266, 14-under-par.

This was Muñoz’s third career victory after she won the 2009 Madrid Ladies Masters on her professional debut on the LET followed by the 2012 Sybase Match Play Championship on the LPGA. In addition to the first prize of €37,500, she took home a Richard Mille – RM 007 watch, worth €38,500.

Despite an amazing six weeks since winning The Solheim Cup as part of the record-breaking team in Colorado, an emotional Azahara Muñoz said: “It’s been a long year and I’ve been playing really bad and since Solheim it’s got much better and I’m just really happy to have won here. Lacoste is one of my best sponsors so I’m really happy to be here and holding the trophy.”
