England’s Annabell Fuller made a late flurry of birdies to finish third at the Saudi Ladies International – her best finish on the Ladies European Tour.<\/b><\/p>\n
However, the 22-year-old was unable to challenge Thai playing partner Atthaya ‘Jeeno’ Thitikul for the title, finishing five shots behind her winning total of 16 under.<\/p>\n
Thitikul closed the 54-hole tournament at Riyadh Golf Club with a three-under-par round of 69, while South Korea’s Lee So-mi shot 70 to finish second on 12 under.<\/p>\n
Fuller followed rounds of 66 and 68 with a battling 71 on Saturday – bouncing back from three dropped shots on the front nine to fire three birdies in her closing four holes and move one shot clear of a four-strong group on 10 under. <\/p>\n
“It feels unreal, I don’t know how to react right now – it’s pretty special,” said Fuller, whose previous-best finish was sixth in this season’s opening tournament – the Lalla Meryem Cup.<\/p>\n
“My front nine was a bit up and down and the weather was quite hard.<\/p>\n
“I just tried to battle through that, but it was really cool to learn from ‘Jeeno’ and watch her play, so that was special too.”<\/p>\n
England’s Charley Hull closed with a 68 to finish in a five-way tie for eighth place on nine under.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
