Jutanugarn wins 10th LPGA title at Ladies Scottish Open

Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn scored six birdies en route to a final round 5-under 66 to win the Ladies Scottish Open by one shot on Sunday.

The 22-year-old Jutanugarn held off a challenge from Australian Minjee Lee at Gullane to claim her 10th LPGA title and third this year. Jutanugarn finished at 13-under 271 to move to the top of the world rankings, ahead of South Koreans Inbee Park and Sung Hyun Park.

“It means a lot to me. It’s like my dream come true,” the Bangkokborn Jutanugarn told lpga.com.

“I told my caddy this week, ‘I want to win on a links course one time in my life,’ and I did it, so (I feel) pretty good.”

Brittany Marchand of Orangeville, Ont., finished 1-over and tied for 44th, while Alena Sharp of Hamilton finished tied for 67th at 5-over.

Runner-up Lee remained in close pursuit of Jutanugarn on Sunday but was unable to make up a one-shot deficit.

Lee produced a bogey-free 66 but couldn’t rally all the way back after her third-round 71.

Jutanugarn has also won the Kingsmill Championship and U.S. Women’s Open this year.

South Koreans Jin Young Ko (67) and Haeji Kang (69) finished tied for third at 8-under, while their compatriot Amy Yang carded a 1-over 72 to finish tied for fifth with Spaniard Carlota Ciganda.

Meanwhile, Miguel Angel Jimenez won the Senior British Open, edging defending champion Bernhard Langer by one shot.

Jimenez dropped only one stroke en route to a final round 3-under 69, scoring a 12-under 276 at the historic Old Course.

Langer shot a 68 to come second. Americans Kirk Triplett (69) and Scott Mccarron (68) tied for third with Canada’s Stephen Ames (69).
