Nocera wins as Matthew misses out

Catriona Matthew
Matthew started the final day two shots behind Nocera

Scotland's Catriona Matthew had to settle for third place as Gwladys Nocera claimed her fifth win of the season at the Madrid Ladies Masters.

Matthew started the day just two shots off the lead but a 70 saw her finish five behind Frenchwoman Nocera, who shot a superb 67 to reach 11 under.

England's Rebecca Hudson carded a 69 to share fourth place on five under.

"There were lots of putts that didn't go in but I'm pleased with how I played," said Matthew.

Nocera's victory took her 62,505 euros (£48,809) clear at the top of the New Star Money List, with Sweden's Helen Alfredsson second.

Home favourite Paula Marti, the 2002 Order of Merit winner, posted her eighth top-10 finish of the season to finish in second place.

The tour now has a three-week break until the Suzhou Taihou Ladies Open in China, followed by the final three events of the year in Korea, India and Dubai.
