Doolan pulls off surprise win

World number one Annika Sorenstam set out with a three-shot lead and as firm favourite to win a third Evian Masters in France today – but Australia’s Wendy Doolan ignored the odds and pulled off a shock win with a dazzling final round of 65.

The 35-year-old, who spent the first five years of her career on the European Tour, was actually six shots behind the Swede with 13 holes to play, but amazingly turned the tables with a magical run of five holes from the sixth - birdie, eagle, birdie, eagle, birdie.
