LARVIK, Norway (AP) -- Diana Luna edged Laura Cabanillas by one shot to win the SAS Ladies Masters on Saturday for her second straight Ladies European Tour victory.

Luna, who won the Irish Open last week, closed with a 3-under 70 for a three-round total of 12-under 207 on the Larvik Golfklubb course.

Luna came from three shots behind overnight leader and fellow Italian Veronica Zorzi to clinch her third career LET title.

With the win, Luna moved to the top of the LET money list and into fifth on the European Solheim Cup standings. The Solheim Cup is Aug. 17-23 at Sugar Grove, Illinois. The United States is the defending champion.

Luna had five birdies, four bogeys and an eagle in the final round. She had an eagle chance on the par-5 18th, but three-putted for a par.

"It's incredible because honestly, I really didn't expect that, especially after three putts on the 18th, Luna said. "I was really sure that I needed a birdie or even an eagle because there was no leaderboards."

Cabanillas, of Spain, also closed with a 70 to clinch her best finish in seven seasons on the tour.

Zorzi slipped to a 75 and shared third place with seven others.
