Charley Hull in England earned a wire-to-wire victory in the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in Abu Dhabi to claim her second Ladies European Tour title.

Hull, 22, took a one-shot lead in the final round and a three-under-69 saw her finish a shot for Norway's Marianne Skarpnord at eight under.

"I practiced very hard in the winter and it feels great to win," Hull said.

"Hopefully I can still win a few victories. I am very happy with my round, so it shows that my hard work pays."

Hull got the victory when she was on the 18th from a bunker splashed and parried with a solid putt.

"I left a lot of putts today, but it's hard to draw when it's so windy," said Hull after the tournament, marking the beginning of the ladies European Touring season.

Skyrboern shot a final round of 68 on Saadiyat Beach to finish on seven under, with the duo well free from the chase pack.

Jodi Ewart Shadoff of England was one of those who ended in a third-by-three share.

Ewart Shadoff, who chased a first Ladies European Tour title, took part in the lead on the 14th but fell out of battle with two bogeys over the last three holes.
