Oregon-based golfer pips Scotland's Valerie Thomas at second extra hole after three days of action at Old Course Ranfurly.

 Lara Tennant from Oregan in the US today edged out Scotland’s Valerie Thomas on the second extra play-off hole to win the 2024 Scottish Senior Women’s Open Strokeplay Championship.

In difficult conditions over three days of competition at Old Course Ranfurly, Renfrewshire, both players finished tied on a 54-hole aggregate score of 226 (+10).

Tennant had rounds of 76,77 and 73 while Thomas matched that total with rounds of 75,78 and 73.

In the play-off, both players made par threes on the first extra hole (18^th) before Tennant held her nerve to make a par four on the 17^th.

When Thomas failed to get up and down from the front edge, the 57-year-old from Oregon was able to celebrate the win with husband and caddie Bob by her side.

England’s Lisa Barton was third on +12 while two-time champion Elaine Moffat from the St Regulus Ladies Club finished in fourth.
