Sally Watson, the only Scot to make it through to the final day of the 72-hole Victorian Women's Open at 13th Beach Golf Links, achieved a top-20 finish in a strong field.

Watson (pictured) tied for 17th place with a bag of 17 birdies - and one double bogey - over the four rounds of 75, 72, 71 and 73 for a total of one-under-par 291 over the par-73 course.
In her final round, Sally birdied three par-5s, the second, 14th and 18th, and also the par-4 eighth. She bogeyed the sixth, ninth, 15th and 16th in halves of 36-37.
Watson finished 10 shots behind the winner, Dorset's former British women's amateur champion, Georgia Hall, who scored 69, 70, 71 and 71 for 11-under 281.
After birdies at the 14th and 15th, Hall won by one shot from joint runners-up Nanna Madsen (Denmark) (72-68-73-69) and former British girls champion Marianne Skarpnord (Norway (73-70-69-70).
St Rule Trophy winner last June at St Andrews, Indian teenager Aditi Ashok finished T31 on 296 with scores of 74, 77, 71 and 74.
