Boineau takes Ladies Scottish Open title
Isabelle Boineau held her nerve at Dundonald Links to win her first Ladies European Tour title, the Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open.
A closing four-under-par 68 got the Frenchwoman to 11 under and handed her a one-shot victory over Linda Wessberg, with Beth Allen and overnight leader Becky Morgan a shot further back.
Caroline Hedwall, Gwladys Nocera and Isabella Ramsay all earned themselves a place in next week’s Ricoh Women’s British Open at Woburn by virtue of their finishes, being the top three players not otherwise exempt.
Boineau, who won the Duke of York Young Champions event at Dundonald Link as a teenage amateur back in 2007 was elated with the win, which will give her a boost of confidence heading into playing the Women’s British Open next week.
The top Scot was Vikki Laing, who fired a closing round of 67 to finish on four under for the tournament and in 11th place overall.
Catriona Matthew finished one under after a closing round of 71.
