Australian golfer Frances Bondad tied for second place, one stroke off the pace, in the Women’s Scottish Open at Archerfield Links in East Lothian.
The New South Wales player fired a final round of 67 to end a stroke behind Scottish teenager Carly Booth, 19, who earned her maiden win on the Ladies European Tour.
Booth fired rounds of 70, 71 and 71 to end on a total of four under par 212, having played through near-freezing conditions earlier in the week.
A tour winner late last year in China, Bondad had a flawless final round containing five birdies at the first, fifth, sixth, eighth and 12th holes.
“I hit a lot of greens this week so that was probably the best part of my game,” she said.
“I left a lot of putts out there but I shot five under but I hit every single green apart from the last three greens today.
“I missed the last three greens so I think just a little bit of nerves. My putting, I held it together, so Im really happy with that.
“I’ve worked hard in the off season preparing to try and get on the LPGA this year so hopefully a good year.”
The players will now head to the Turkish Ladies Open at Antalaya.
