Golf: Lawrie’s long-range putt enough for top prize

Scotland’s Paul Lawrie achieved his first victory since the 1999 Open championship at St Andrews today, winning the Dunhill Links championship with a dramatic 40-foot putt on the final green.

The title was worth a massive £551,040 to the 32-year-old from Aberdeen, who looked set for a play-off with world number four Ernie Els when his pitch to the last spun back into the Valley of Sin.
