Japanese winner of Evian Masters after play-off

FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Japan’s Ai Miyazato won the Evian Masters with a birdie at the first hole of a sudden death play-off against Sweden’s Sophie Gustafson at Evian Masters Golf Club in France today.
After hitting her second shot into the bunker on the 477yd par-5 par 18th hole in the play-off, she rolled in a 3ft birdie putt to claim her first LPGA/Ladies European Tour victory.
The 24-year-old from Okinawa became the second Japanese winner of the Evian Masters 12 years after Hiromi Kobayashi won the event, also after a play-off, in 1997.
“I feel very happy at the moment. I was dreaming about this when I was young, so my dream has almost come true. I feel great,” said Miyazato, who earned a first prize of US$487,500, (€341,249.80).
“I didn’t watch the score board until the end of the final round. I was just trying to make birdies and I tried to control myself.”
Miyazato recorded rounds of 69, 66, 70 and 69 for a four-round total of 14-under-par 274. She sank a 10ft birdie putt on the 18th in regulation play to reach that score, before Gustafson tapped in for birdie to join her.
“I made a great birdie on the No. 2, and I feel really like confidence after that. So, I mean, I was really play good because I hit fairways, keep hitting the fairways, and I hit the greens. But I had so many good birdie chance too, but I couldn't make it. That makes me really pressure on myself. But I'm just trying to make me like really calm and stay in the present. That really worked,” she said, through an interpreter.
When Miyazato turned professional in 2003, the 5’2” pint-sized player was expected to take the world by storm, having already won the Miyagi TV Dunlop Ladies Golf Tournament as an amateur. Having sealed the inaugural Women’s World Cup of Golf in South Africa in 2005 with Rui Kitada, she won the LPGA’s qualifying tournament for 2006 by a record 12 strokes.
However it had taken her almost four years to earn her first LPGA victory, in her first ever play-off.
She explained via translation: “When I had a good success in Japan I was still very young. I was just going for it, not scared of anything. When I came to the States, I had to adjust to many things, like the culture, the language. Those things obviously played a huge part. I don't think the length of time that it took me to win was that important. I just feel that the four years that took me was very valuable.”
Gustafson, a winner of 22 events worldwide, carded a final round of 70. After her third shot to the green on the play-off hole landed 10 feet from the pin it sat in its own pitch mark, making it a tough birdie putt.
“I didn’t have the putter going today. I missed four putts from within four feet and that’s the difference from the past two days. Right now I’m very disappointed,” said the 35-year-old, who now lives in Florida. “Right now I’m not focusing on anything. I need to let this week sink in and I’ll go from there.”
South Korean Meena Lee shot the best round of the week, a seven-under 65 that took her into a tie for third with Cristie Kerr of the United States on 13-under. The 2008 champion, Helen Alfredsson of Sweden shot 70 and shared fifth on 11-under with the 2006 event winner Australian Karrie Webb and the 2005 victor Paula Creamer from the USA.
Welsh star Becky Brewerton, who held a share of the lead for the first three rounds, carded 76 and slipped back into a share of 13th place on eight-under, but the previous week’s Open de Espana champion was taking the positives from the experience.
“It was a different situation. I couldn’t hit a fairway and its hard work when you’re in the rough so much,” she said. “The week as a whole, I finished eight-under. That was my best score here by quite a long way and even today when things weren’t going well it could have been a lot worse.
“I kept my head and made some nice putts, especially on the front nine, to keep in it a little bit. It could easily have been different.”
Brewerton and the rest of the field will head to Royal Lytham and St. Annes for a completely different sort of test at next week’s Ricoh Women’s British Open, which is the final major championship of the season.
South Korean Jiyai Shin will defend the title against a quality field and the championship will be the final event where U.S. and European players can earn Solheim Cup points.

Local knowledge pays off

for Martin Duncan at

North Junior Open

Home course player Martin Duncan won the boys' section of the North of Scotland Junior Open at Loch Ness golf course, Castle Heather, Inverness today.
The tournamentsuffered at the hands of the weather early on but with the sun breaking through late morning all players benefited and some excellent scoring was the result. Michael Manson from Fortrose was an early starter and was out in the worst of the rain but still managed a four-over-par 74 which was good enough to take the Tulloch Homes Trophy for the best scratch score on the day.
Annabel Brown from Nairn Dunbar, a regular competitor in the event, got her hands on the Cystic Fibrosis Shield, presented to the best girl for the first time with a net 72.
It was left to home player Martin Duncan to take the top honours with a net 59 off a handicap of 23. He too was in action when most of the rain was following and a gross 82 was a very good effort
Lieutenant Commander Farmer said "We have been involved with this event for many years and I have been fortunate to attend several times and it always impresses me how these people can adapt and score so well.
"Each year another one pops up to take the prize and in the following years we continue to see their names featuring. This is an event that the Royal Navy see great value in and we will continue to support it for as long as possible"

Deeside's Jamie Pryde leads the way

over Silverburn with 43 points

By MURRAY CARNIE
Paul Lawrie Foundation competitions organiser
Fifty-three players teed it up for the Stableford event over the Royal Aberdeen Silverburn course today under very wet and windy conditions. Due to the severe conditions for the early starters only half the field completed their round and the competition is reduction only for handicap purposes.
With only two scoring events left for the season it was Jamie Pryde (Deeside) who registered his first Order of Merit victory with 43 points.
Jason Banks (Oldmeldrum) finished in second place with 42 and Kiran Nolan (Kemnay) came third with 41.
A big thanks must be given to Aberdeen Ladies for allowing us so many tee times for the event and all the help that Alan Joss and his helpers gave us over the last month in organising such a big event.
The next Stableford event is at Aboyne where we have only a few tee times left.

Rachael Livingstone turns pro

under PGA training scheme


Last year's Midlothian women's county champion Rachael Livingstone has been accepted on to the PGA's foundation degree course at the end of which she will be a qualified PGA professional.
Rachael, 21, will be trained as an assistant pro at Musselburgh Golf Club, Monktonhall, under Fraser Mann and Norman Huguet.
She has just completed an HND in sports coaching at Edinburgh's Telford College and says she is looking forward to the PGA degree course which is run by Birmingham University.
"The only disappointment," said Rachael," is not being able to play amateur golf. I miss the competition and meeting friends at tournaments."
She will start playing in some professional competitions next year.
"I would like to thank Berth and Lionel Freedman and everyone at Musselburgh Old Course for getting me started in competitive golf as a girl. Also Karyn Dallas, Colin Brooks and all the other coaches I've worked with.
"Everyone at Midlothian Ladies Golfing Association has been so supportive. Also mum, dad's sister Clare and my greatest fans, my grandparents."
Rachael, pictured above by Cal Carson Golf Agency, reached the final of the Scottish Under-18 girls match-play championship in 2006 at Peebles where she lost 3 and 2 to Roseanne Niven.
She won the Midlothian women's county championship in 2008, having been a member of the Scottish title-winning Midlothian team in 2007.
Rachael was also a member of the Scotland team that won the girls' home internationals title in 2006.
