As Minjee Lee became the latest teenager to win on the LPGA Tour, Scottish stalwart Catriona Matthew scored her best finish of the 2015 season with a share of eighth in the Kingsmill Championship in Virginia.
The tournament had spilled into a Monday finish after a weather-delay on Sunday and Lee, the 18-year-old rookie from Australia who led by four shots with just three holes to complete, put the finishing touches to a maiden victory as she signed off with a six-under 65 for a 15-under 269 to win by two from So Yeon Ryu of South Korea.
Matthew, the former Women's British Open champion from North Berwick, finished with a flourish and carded a 66 for an eight-under 276 which gave the 45-year-old her first top-10 of the campaign.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
