LAURA DAVIES CRUISES TO HISTORIC VICTORY IN THE INAUGURAL US SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

Laura Davies, who entered the day with a five-stroke lead over Juli Inkster, shot a final-round 68 on Sunday to complete a dominating victory in the inaugural U.S. Senior Women’s Open at Chicago Golf Club. Davies finished at 16-under-par 276, 10 strokes clear of Inkster.

Inkster and England's Trish Johnson both closed with even-par 73s, with Inkster (6-under 286) placing second by two strokes over Johnson (4-under 288).

Davies is flying to London on Sunday night, and after a week off, will next tee it up at the Ladies Scottish Open at Gullane and then play the Women’s British Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. It will be interesting to see what her confidence level is as she goes back out on the LPGA Tour. If she wins again on tour, she’d shatter the record for oldest tour winner, which is Beth Daniel at 46.

GOLFING LEGENDS BACK GLASGOW 2018

Two Scottish golfing legends are looking forward to history being made at the inaugural European Golf Team Championships at Gleneagles in August.

Catriona Matthew and Paul Lawrie, the last two Scottish players to win Major Championships, believe the event – which will see men and women play together in a 50/50 field split for equal prize money for the first time – is a unique opportunity for both male and female players.

Comprising part of the multi-sport Glasgow 2018 European Championships, the European Golf Team Championships is an innovative format which will see a men’s, women’s and mixed event played on the iconic PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles.

Matthew, who will captain the European Solheim Cup team at the venue in September 2019, said it was a great opportunity for women to show their quality alongside their male counterparts and also urged potential Solheim Cup team members to grab the chance of competitive action at Gleneagles ahead of her team selection.

The North Berwick star, who won the Women’s British Open in 2009, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for Europe’s leading female players to reinforce how strong the women’s game is by playing alongside men and to continue to raise the profile of women’s golf on an international stage.

“These opportunities don’t come around very often and I’m looking forward to seeing the teams go head-to-head. I’ll also be using it as an opportunity to keep an eye on some of the prospective European Solheim Cup team members to see how they fare over the PGA Centenary Course in competitive action.”
