Ireland's Leona Maguire finished joint fifth as Spain's Nuria Iturrios claimed the inaugural Dubai Moonlight Classic.
Iturrios dropped three shots in two holes but carded a one under 71 and a 10 under total, one ahead of Germany's Olivia Cowan and Esther Henseleit.
Maguire, who led after the first round after a course record 64, finished three shots off the pace after a 70.
Scotland's Carly Booth was one shot further back in seventh after six birdies and an eagle in a closing 67.
It was a second successive victory for Iturrios, following last week's Lalla Meryem Cup win in Morocco.
