FRENCH LICK, Ind. — Laura Davies won the Senior LPGA Championship on Wednesday at chilly and windy French Lick Resort to sweep the two senior major events of the year.
Davies birdied the final hole for a 2-under 70 and a four-stroke victory over Helen Alfredsson and Silvia Cavalleri. The 55-year-old Englishwoman won the inaugural U.S. Senior Women’s Open in July at Chicago Golf Club. In March, she tied for second in the LPGA Tour’s Founders Cup in Phoenix.
Davies led wire-to-wire, finishing at 8-under 208 on The Pete Dye Course.
Alfredsson also shot 70, and Cavalleri had a 71. Michele Redman was fourth at 1 under after a 73. Brandie Burton, two strokes behind Davies after a second-round 66, shot 77 to finish fifth at 1 over.
Juli Inkster followed an 80 with a 73 to tie for 12th at 6 over.
