Focus on Scots on Futures Tour

VIKKI LAING FINISHES IN TOP TWENTY
BUT LATE BOGEYS PROVE COSTLY

Vikki Laing gained a top-20 finish thanks to a last round of 72 in the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City women's professional golf championship on the US Futures Tour on Sunday.
The 27-year-old former Curtis Cup player from Musselburgh, whose earlier rounds were 76 and 73, finished on eight-over-par 221 over the 6274yd, par-72 Leawood South Country Club course.
She earned $815 for a joint 17th place finish behind the 18-year-old first-time winner, Mindy Kim from California.
Mindy scored 68, 69 and 73 for six-under-210 and a $12,600 first prize.
But for a couple of late bogeys, at the 15th and 16th, Vikki would have finished 12th and earned around $1,200.
Pamela Feggans from Patna, Ayrshire received $521 for coming joint 51st on 227 with scorfes of 79, 73 and 75. After birdieing the long first hole, the Ayrshire player bogeyed the fourth, seventh, 10th, 12th and 16th in her final round.
