Moriya Jutanugarn from Thailand, 15 years of age and barely five foot tall, finished on a two-over-par tally of 218 at Dundonald Links today to win by a shot from Israel’s Laetitia Beck. Richard Jung from Canada was the first boy in the mix, signing off in a share of third place with Spain’s Camilla Hedberg.
