McKay enjoys her first victory

Scotland’s Mhairi McKay scored her first professional victory as a disappointed Laura Davies had to settle for second best in the AAMI Australian Open at Terrey Hills near Sydney today.

McKay, four behind Davies at the start of the final round, surged through the field with a superb five-under-par 67 for an 11-under 277 total and pipped her Solheim Cup teammate by a shot.
