Alexis Thompson wins the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters - December 17, 2011

Alexis Thompson became the youngest professional to win on the Ladies' European Tour when she triumphed at the season-ending championship in Dubai on Saturday.

Lexi, already the youngest to win on the U.S. LPGA Tour, shot a final-round five-under-par 67 to finish four shots clear of South Africa's Lee-Anne Pace to claim the €75,000 ($98,000) first prize.

The only player younger than the American to win on the European circuit is South Korea's Amy Yang, who was 16 years and 191 days old when she won the ANZ Masters as an amateur in 2006.

"It feels amazing. This has been just a great tournament and I am looking forward to coming back," said Thompson, who turns 17 on February 9.

"I just tried to focus on my game. I did think about the victory when I had a five-shot lead, but throughout the whole day I was trying to play one shot at a time and never tried to get ahead of myself."

Thompson led after the second and third rounds at Emirates Golf Club, but last year's European money list winner Pace went top at the seventh hole before her young opponent chipped in for a birdie at the ninth.

"That was really important. I just kept on going strong and strong," said Thompson, who won the Navistar LPGA Classic in Alabama by five shots in September and qualified for the U.S. Women's Open as a 12-year-old.

"Both wins are equal since both the tournaments have a great competition, the best from both sides and countries, so it's just an honor to win at both events."
