Grant, 22, was the overnight leader going into the final day and she saved her best round for last with a flawless eight-under 64 that included eight birdies to finish at 24-under overall in front of a roaring home crowd.
Scotland's Marc Warren and Sweden's Henrik Stenson finished tied for second and Grant, who had her boyfriend Pontus as her caddie, said beating the men in the field was the "most important thing"."It's a nice feeling," she said. "All week I just felt like it's the girls against the guys and whoever picks up that trophy represents the field.
"It's huge. Just playing at home and having the crowds here, my family by my side, boyfriend on the bag -- it's crazy and I'm proud of myself," she added. "I just hope that people recognise women's golf, more sponsors go to the LET and hopefully this pumps up the women's game a little bit more. Pontus has been amazing, keeping me calm and doing everything right."Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
