Anirban Lahiri of India shot a strong third and final round to finish tied for sixth place at the Liv Houston Golf Series with a four-under 68 total.
Lahiri had placed sixth in Jeddah in March, so this was her second top-10 finish.
Lahiri opened his 68-hole score with a birdie in the third and finished with five birdies, an eagle, and three bogeys. His previous scores were 69-69.
Cleeks GC, captained by Martin Kaymer, took home their first trophy in the team tournament.
The team defeated Smash GC and Fireballs GC by two strokes at Golf Club of Houston with a score of 33-under. This was the thirty-first event held by LIV Golf since its founding.
Carlos Ortiz of Torque GC, who has won four team titles but never an individual one, took home the Houston individual title.
With a final-round five-under 67, Ortiz finished at 15 under, one stroke ahead of Adrian Meronk of the Cleeks. At 13-under, Patrick Reed (4Aces GC) and David Puig (Fireballs GC) shared a tie for third place.
Indian amateur golfer Avani Prashanth, who finished 54th overall in the Montauban Ladies Open on the Ladies European Tour's Access Series, had a dismal day.
Avani, who started the week well with a 1-under 71, ended up with 78-82 over the final two days. She finished 54th with a three-day total of 15 over 231.
Durga Nittur, another Indian, had also failed to make the cut.
The Amundi Czech Ladies Challenge, which starts on June 14, will feature performances by Avani and Durga.
One week after losing in a play-off to win the LET's Dormy Open Helsingborg, German amateur Helen Briem achieved her maiden win at a professional event.
Briem proved that she meant business by making a birdie on the opening hole as she entered the final round three strokes behind day two leader Kelsey Bennett.
She maintained her pace to win the title with a 69-stroke total. Her three-day total of seven-under 281 was based on her 70-70 opening two rounds.
On six under par, Tiffany Arafi of Switzerland came in second. Leading player Kelsey Bennett of Australia finished alone third on five-under-par after a challenging back nine. Marine Griffaut, the 2021 winner, tied for fourth in her professional debut with Ariane Klotz of France and Amy Taylor of England.

Sharma finishes T-59th; Linn Grant triumphs in the Swedish mixed event
June 10, (PTI), Helsingborg, Sweden Shubhankar Sharma, an Indian golfer, took five shots in the final four holes to finish tied for 59th place at the 2024 Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed Tournament with a terrifying five-over 77.
His previous rounds of 69, 69, and 71 combined for a two-under 286 total, which dropped him off of the top-20 he had held for the first two days.
Before collapsing at the finish, Sharma was even par after 14 holes with two birdies and two bogeys. Aside from a double bogey, he had two triples in the same week.
Earlier, in a mixed event including 78 ladies from the Ladies European Tour and 78 men from the DP World Tour, Diksha Dagar was eliminated. They are all competing for the same trophy and pot of money.
On an eventful final day, home favorite Linn Grant secured a one-shot win. Sebastian Soderberg, a fellow Swede who had led the entire event, was 11 strokes ahead of Linn, 24, at the beginning of the day.
Grant created history in 2022 when she became the first female winner on the DP World Tour, and she has since repeated as the first female winner.
Grant finished the final round at Vasatorps Golfklubb with a clubhouse lead of 17-under-par after shooting a bogey-free seven-under 65. With just one shot remaining in the final round, Soderberg made a double bogey, giving Grant the victory.
Given that she was 11 points behind, she said that she had not given winning any thought. With LET co-sponsoring the event, it was the largest comeback victory on the DP World Tour.
