Casandra Alexander carded a closing one-over-par 73 on Sunday to finish in a share of 14^th in the Ladies European Tour’s Amundi German Masters at the Golf & Country Club Seddiner See.

That final round followed three rounds of 70, and, but for a double-bogey on the 17^th, she had lined herself up for a top-10 finish. In the end, she made an eagle, two birdies, three bogeys and a double-bogey to finish the week on five-under-par.

She was 11-shots out of a play-off between Kristyna Napoleaova of the Czech Republic and Cara Gainer of England. After both finishing on 14-under, Napoleaova rolled in her birdie putt on the first play-off hole. The pair was three strokes clear of Sophie Hausmann of Germany and Diksha Dagar of India.

England’s Alice Hewson ended the tournament in fifth place on 10-under-par after a fourth round of 69. Spain’s Carmen Alonso, France’s Celine Herbin and Sweden’s Johanna Gustavsson finished in a tie for sixth place on eight-under-par and one shot further back was Italy’s Virginia Elena Carta alongside French duo Agathe Sauzon and Nastasia Nadaud.

Alexander is in 24^th on the Race to Costa del Sol, down two places from her position last week.
