Webb three-round total of 6-under 213 put her ahead of second-round leader Giulia Sergas of Italy, who bogeyed the last on Saturday after hitting into a greenside bunker and finished with a 75.

Defending champion and first-round leader Laura Davies of England had a 71 and is in third, two strokes behind.

Webb also won the Australian Masters last week, breaking the course record with a 61 in the final round to win the event for the seventh time.
