Sara Kouskova hangs on to win in Teneriffe, top 20 for Lauren Walsh
Czech player Kouskova, after claiming the Jabra Ladies Open a fortnight ago, finished with a 71 to stand on nine under, just ahead of Germany's Helen Briem.
The winner made five birdies in her round but a bogey on seven and a double-bogey six on the par-four 16th threatened to derail her quest at Abama Golf. A couple of pars to finish kept here out in front, this after Briem made birdie on 17.
BACK-TO-BACK 🏆🏆

For Walsh, Sunday's round was an improvement of the horror-show of her 77 on Saturday, though dropped shots on 16 and 18 proved costly as she aimed for a higher position, settling in the end for a share of 14th on four under.

Denis Frimpong brands opponent 'sloppy' ahead of showdown in Germany
Ireland MMA fighter Denis Frimpong is returning to the octagon and, as usual, he's not mincing his words with opponent Peter Gabal. Lightweight Frimpong will take on his Czech challenger at Festhalle Frankfurt in Germany as part of OKTAGON 76. The 30-year-old, from Dublin, is never afraid to trash-talk and has had a back-and-forth with Gabal over the past couple of years. READ MORE: Conor McGregor 'whispered' full details over UFC comeback and his fighting plans for future READ MORE: Conor McGregor addresses 'leaked' photos of his manhood After securing a commanding decision victory over Robin Frank, he then followed it up by settling a long-standing rivalry with a devastating knockout of Arijan Topallaj. Now established in the lightweight division's top 10 rankings, "The Menace" views his upcoming fight as another crucial step toward a shot at the title as he sits with a 6-2 record, while Gabal is 7-3. Speaking ahead of the fight, Frimpong said: "I think Peter Gabal is a sloppy, less refined version of Callum Mullen and a similar size. The fight is going to go similarly to that one, except I'm going to finish him in the second round - TKO or straight knockout. "I love the German crowd and I love the German people. It's good to be in the red corner finally and not fighting a German-on-German soil, so I'm going to be the fan favourite. 'The fan base over there are starting to jump on board, and I've got a nice little walkout song ready for them. It's going to be a good night - as always!" OKTAGON 76 will also highlight a strong lineup of notable German talent. Set to compete are Lom-Ali Eskiev, hard-hitting heavyweight Patrick Vespaziani, and rapidly rising women's prospect Alina Dalaslan. The card is also expected to feature UFC veteran Alan Omer, promising up-and-comer Fedor Duric, and Tamerlan Dulatov, the brother of Islam Dulatov.
