Denmark’s Emily Kristine Pedersen won the inaugural Saudi Ladies International, the first women’s professional tour event to be held in Saudi Arabia, after a thrilling play-off with England’s Georgia Hall.

With five holes to play Pedersen had trailed Hall by three shots, but drew level on 10-under-par with a birdie on the 18th to force a play-off.

The 24-year-old proceeded to win her third tour title with a birdie on the first play-off hole as Hall found the water.

“It’s very special, I am very happy that I got to be the first person to win a tournament here,” said Pedersen, who shot a 72 in her fourth round.
