Japan\u2019s Ayaka Furue stormed to a maiden LPGA Tour victory after firing a course record 62 (-10) to win the 2022 Trust Golf Women\u2019s Scottish Open.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old began the day in a tie for ninth place, five shots behind the leading duo, but started her day with a birdie on the first.\u00a0After a run of four pars, Furue kicked into top gear rolling in six birdies in-a-row from holes six through to 11 to put herself in clear contention.<\/p>\n

Another birdie on 15 put the seven-time JLPGA winner in front and back-to-back birdies on the last two holes sealed victory on 21-under-par in Furue\u2019s first appearance at the Trust Golf Women\u2019s Scottish Open.\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cMy shots and putting and all-around game was very good and when I needed to make big birdie putts, I was able to make them,\u201d said the rookie, who had Glasgwegian Michael Scott on her bag.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this win, it builds up a lot of confidence for me and I\u2019m looking forward to having more big tournaments and playing at next week\u2019s AIG Women\u2019s Open.<\/p>\n

\u201cMike is always a big help to me, and I am so happy that I was able to win in Scotland and near his hometown of Glasgow.\u201d<\/p>\n

France\u2019s Celine Boutier, who was the co-leader after 54 holes, finished in second place after producing a round of 69 (-3) on the final day.<\/p>\n

The two-time Solheim Cup winner had seven birdies and four bogeys on her scorecard on the fourth day to have a total of 18-under-par at Dundonald Links.<\/p>\n

\u201cStarting the round, I knew I had to shoot a low score, even though I was tied for the lead,\u201d said Boutier. \u201cAnd on this course, you can score pretty low. I was trying to focus on my own game and not pay too much attention on the leaderboard. She just had a really great day, so there was nothing I could have done.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, I\u2019m a bit disappointed at the moment but I feel like my game has been very solid all week and I put myself in position. Playing the final round, in the final group, is not always easy to manage. I feel like hopefully I’m going to gain some experience from this and next time I’ll be lifting the trophy.<\/p>\n

With the final Major of the year next week at Muirfield, Boutier is going to take the positives and what she has learned here into the AIG Women\u2019s Open.\"\"<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cI feel pretty good. I feel like my irons, approach shots and short game have been very solid especially, so I’m just hoping to take that into next week and it is great preparation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like that it was a little bit windy and there is a little bit of preparation for next week. That’s the main thing, I don’t think I could have expected a better week than how I played.\u201d<\/p>\n

Korea\u2019s Hyo-Joo Kim and American Cheyenne Knight ended the tournament in a share of third place on 17-under-par after carding rounds of 66 and 65, respectively.<\/p>\n

One shot further back in a tie for fifth place were American Alison Lee and New Zealand\u2019s Lydia, while Japan\u2019s Nasa Hataoka finished in seventh place 15-under-par.<\/p>\n

Thailand\u2019s Wichanee Meechai, American Lilia Vu and Canada\u2019s Maude-Aimee Leblanc rounded out the top ten in T8 on 14-under-par.<\/p>\n

And it was an excellent day for Meechai, who secured her spot at next week\u2019s AIG Women\u2019s Open with her top-10 finish.<\/p>\n

She is joined by compatriot Chanettee Wannasaen and Spain\u2019s Carmen Alonso<\/a> as the three qualifiers from the Trust Golf Women\u2019s Scottish Open.<\/p>\n

In the 2022 Race to Costa del Sol<\/a>, the top of the rankings remains the same with Swedish trio Maja Stark, Linn Grant and Johanna Gustavsson in first, second, and third.<\/p>\n

England\u2019s Georgia Hall moves up to ninth place and has 970.85 points with Germany\u2019s Leonie Harm now in 13th<\/sup> (840.69), while Boutier secured her first points of the year claiming 400 and she sits in 43rd<\/sup> place<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
