Golf: Delighted Catriona wins Scandinavian TPC
LODDEKOPINGE (Sweden): Catriona Matthew won the Scandinavian TPC on Sunday, shooting a four-under 68 to beat Laura Diaz and Sophie Gustafson by three shots.
Catriona finished with a nine-under 279 total for her fifth victory.
"I抦 absolutely delighted," Catriona said. "I struggled a bit at the turn but the birdies on 12 and 13 helped to settle me down."
Catriona began with birdies on the first two holes, then added others on the fourth and fifth to take a five-shot lead.
"It抯 fantastic. I haven抰 won in a couple of years and there抯 a great field here this week so I抦 just thankful to have won," said Catriona, who dropped shots on the sixth and 10th holes, but clawed back with two birdies on the back nine.
Sophie (68) and Laura (68) tied for second at six-under, and Maria Hjorth (70) tied for fourth at four-under with LPGA Championship winner Suzann Pettersen (71).
Defending champion Annika Sorenstam closed with a 68 for her best round in the tournament and moved from 21st to ninth.
After playing 43 straight holes without a birdie, the Annika made six birdies in the final round and bogeyed two.
"It was different today (Sunday)," Annika said. "I hit the fairways, and if you do that you also hit the greens, and you get birdie chances. I抦 happy with my score today, but I have to work harder." 梉/font] |

The world number one, who launched his own design company last year and has a project under way in Dubai, will be creating a layout at The Cliffs at High Carolina near Asheville.
揗y goal is to design a handful of very unique courses around the world and The Cliffs is a perfect fit for my first American design, |

Strange on fire after last-minute entry
ARLANDASTAD (Sweden): Scott Strange was told he was in the Scandinavian Masters only 45 minutes before his tee-off but the 30-year-old Australian's frantic dash to the tee paid off with the first-round lead.
Strange defied his unnerving start by posting a six-under 64 which earned him a one-shot lead over surprise Swedish contender, 21-year-old amateur Fredrik Qvicker, and Britain's Sam Walker.
Strange, unable to play a practice round before taking on Arlandastad because his clubs had been lost in transit, came in from first reserve when Briton David Drysdale, scheduled to be in the first group out, pulled out early in the morning.
Cashing in on his good fortune, Strange, who was first reserve only because entries went down to his 149th finish last year which cost him his tour card, took on Drysdale's caddie, birdied the first hole and hardly looked back.
揑 was sitting on the bus coming to the course when I got a phone call at 6.45am telling me I had 45 minutes to get here for my tee-time, |

Overton in line for first title
RALEIGH (North Carolina): Little-known American Jeff Overton birdied his final hole for a three-way tie for the lead in the Wyndham Championship second round in North Carolina on Friday.
The former Walker Cup amateur hit his second shot from 256 yards to 15 feet at the par-five ninth and two-putted for a five-under 67 at Forest Oak Country Club in Greensboro.
That left him on 12-under 132, level with fellow Americans John Huston (66) and Steve Marino (67) in the final event of the PGA Tour's regular season.
Swede Carl Pettersson birdied three of his last five holes for a 67 and a share of fourth at 11-under with Americans Tim Petrovic (65), Greg Kraft (67) and Craig Kanada (65), plus Dane Anders Hansen who shot a joint best-of-the-day 64.
Overnight leader Will MacKenzie, who opened with a nine-birdie 64, slipped back into a tie for 11th at nine-under after carding a 71.
Overton, a rookie on last year's PGA Tour, mixed four birdies with one bogey to reach the turn in three-under 32 after teeing off at the par-four 10th.
He then signed off with successive birdies at the eighth and ninth to put himself on track for his maiden title on the world's most lucrative circuit.
