England's Charley Hull captured her first title around the world in more than two years with a commanding victory at the Aramco Team Series Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.

Hull, 28, drained eight birdies in a final-round 66 to finish 18-under par, enough for a three-shot victory over Denmark's Nicole Broch Estrup. 

She started the final round two shots off the pace but surged to the front after going out in 31 courtesy of five birdies on her opening seven holes.

Hull then exchanged three birdies with two bogeys from the 12th to the 17th to see out a deserved win. 

The victory marks Hull's fourth on the Ladies European Tour and the first since she won her second LPGA Tour title in October 2022. 

The win also marks the second individual Aramco Team Series victory of her career having won in New York in 2021.

Hull has now recorded 10 top 10 finishes in just 11 appearances on the Aramco Team Series. 

Despite some impressive performances around the world over the past couple of years, including runner-up finishes at the US Women's Open and AIG Women's Open in 2023, Hull had been frustrated to not get over the line in 2024. 

But she put all that to one side at Riyadh Golf Club as she comfortably saw out her first victory around the world in 25 months. 

"I feel like my game has been good all season," said Hull.

"I've been knocking on the door the last couple of years, and this week it all came together and I feel good."

The victory is extra sweet for Hull, who is a proud Saudi PIF ambassador.

Before the tournament, Hull said: 

"The work that Golf Saudi continue to do in introducing more women and girls to the game through these events and beyond is inspiring, and the legacy they are creating is one I’m incredibly grateful to be a part of.

"The sport has grown leaps and bounds here. Last year, we saw the move of the tournaments to Riyadh which I think really shows the Kingdom's increasing passion for the sport, with more and more fans coming to watch us."

Hull will now be looking to finish her season strong on the LPGA Tour before she goes in search of her first major title in 2025. 

Elsewhere, Chiara Tamburlini was crowned order of merit champion on the Ladies European Tour.

Tamburlini, who won three times in her rookie season on the LET, becomes the first Swiss player to ever be crowned Europe's best.
