Inbee Park hails Open win as greatest day of her life

South Korea’s Inbee Park hailed the greatest day of her life after claiming a seventh major title with a brilliant final round in the Ricoh Women’s British Open at Turnberry.

Park began the day three shots off the lead but carded an eagle, seven birdies and two bogeys for a closing 65 to finish 12 under par, three shots ahead of compatriot Jin-Young Ko.

Joint overnight leader Ko, who was looking to win on her first major start, enjoyed a four-shot lead after following an eagle on the seventh with birdies on the eighth and 10th.
