Olivia Mehaffey finishes second at Troon

Olivia Mehaffey surrendered the Helen Holm Trophy with England’s Olivia Winning snatching Scottish Open Stroke Play Championship victory from her grasp at Troon.

The 18-year-old from Royal County Down went into round three tied for the lead on three-under with Sweden’s Linda Lundqvist, but suffered a nightmare round over Royal Troon’s Old Course yesterday.

Her day began badly as she bogeyed the first two holes but, after recovering with birdies on four and six, another bogey on seven left her one-over at the turn.
