VIKKI'S BEST YET ON US FUTURES TOUR

Vikki Laing finished joint runner-up in the United States Futures Tour's Betty Puskar Classic at The Pines Country Club, Morgantown in West Virginia on Sunday.
It was her highest-ever finish on American's No 2 women's pro tour and her cheque for $6,850 was also her best yet.
The 25-year-old from Musselburgh, based in the States since she turned pro at the end of her four-year golf scholarship at the University of Berkeley-California, had scores of 68, 69 and 69 for a 10-under-par total of 206.
She tied with Kris Tamulus from Naples, Florida for second place, three shots behind former US Curtis Cup player, Taylor Leon from Dallas, Texas.
Rookie Taylor has now won two of her first five starts as a professional. She had scores of 65, 69 and 69 for 13-under-par 203 to collect the $11,200 first prize.
