Nocera claims Catalonia glory

France’s Gwladys Nocera clinched her third title of the Ladies’ European Tour season with a third successive 69 in the Catalonia Ladies’ Masters.

The 31-year-old, who had already won the Swiss and Italian Opens this year, confirmed her status as the best player on tour with a nine-under-par 207 total and a five-shot win over the Australian rookie Sarah Kemp at Club Golf D’Aro near Girona.
