Lauren Coughlin has won the Women’s Scottish Open, her second LPGA title this summer, after finishing with a 3-under 69 and securing a spot on the U.S. Solheim Cup team.
Player Performance: Coughlin recovered from a pair of early bogeys to move ahead of Megan Khang on the front nine and Esther Henseleit of Germany on the back nine at Dundonald Links.
Final Moves: She one-putted the final seven holes, including a 20-foot par putt on the 16th hole and a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th.
Score: Coughlin finished at 15-under 273, four shots ahead of Henseleit (70).
Solheim Cup Spot: She earned enough Solheim Cup points to lock up one of the six automatic spots for the Sept. 13-15 matches at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia.
Solheim Cup Debut: It will be her Solheim Cup debut.
Other Players: Khang was tied with Coughlin through five holes but didn’t make another birdie and had two bogeys to finish with a 74, tying for third with Ayaka Furue of Japan, who shot a 68. Charley Hull of England started with two bogeys in three holes and was never a factor, closing with a 73 to finish fifth, seven shots behind.
