Frederic Lacroix won the inaugural Saint-Malo Golf Mixed Open, in Saint-Malo, France

Belgian Manon de Roey said she was happy with her performance in third place in a men's and women's field in the first Saint-Malo Golf Mixed Open.

Frederic Lacroix from France won the title and released two hits from the Italian Enrico di Nitto.

It was the first professional event that saw male and female golfers from two tours playing for the same trophy

"I felt a little nervous with the first tee, but I enjoyed it" De Roey stated.

The 72-hole tournament consisted of players from the Ladies European Tour Access Series and the Men's Alps Tour.

The Laura Murray from Scotland was the next highest placed woman in the field – she finished in shared 16th place. Elia Folch, from Spain, was the 21st.

De Roey added: "I am quite satisfied with the week and how it went. Today was not as good as the last few days but I am happy that I finished in the top 3. Today I do not have enough birdies and Frederic played very well. "

For Lacroix it was a third victory of the Alps Tour of the season, after victories in the Ein Bay Open and in Alps de las Castillas, an automatic promotion to him for the European Challenge Tour.

"I just didn't make any mistakes and that's the key, I think, in this course," he said. "Generally there are guys who have made more birdies than me, I have kept it stable and made good rescues when needed."

The Swedish sisters Sarah and Emma Nilsson, whose parents caddied for them, ended in joint-49th and joint-52nd respectively.

Meanwhile, Lars Keunen of the Netherlands finished 75th, ahead of his girlfriend Pasqualle Coffa in 100.
