Nicole Garcia finished inside the top 10 on Sunday in the Ladies European Tour’s Aramco Saudi Ladies International at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club when she closed with a two-over-par 74 and a tournament total of level-par 284.

She finished 11 strokes behind the winner, Georgia Hall of England, who finished with a one-under-par 71 to hold off Kristyna Napoleaova of the Czech Republic and Sweden’s Johanna Gustavsson by five shots.

Garcia turned in one-under 35 after making birdie on the ninth to break her opening run of pars, but three bogeys on her homeward nine – on the 12th, 14th and 16th – slowed her progress. She shared 10th with Germany’s Sophie Witt and Angel Yin of the United States.

Lee-Anne Pace also had a closing 74, and she finished in a share of 27th on four-over for the tournament.
