LPGA Tour rookie Ayaka Furue came to play at the Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open, ultimately claiming her first LPGA Tour title after firing a course-record, bogey-free, 10-under 62 in the final round.
Furue began the day four shots back of 54-hole co-leaders Celine Boutier and Lydia Ko at 11 under. She made six birdies in a row from holes six through eleven to tie the lead with Boutier, and after the Frenchwoman bogeyed No. 13 and Furue birdied No. 15, the 22-year-old Japan native held the solo lead at -19 with three to play. Furue birdied her last two holes to post at 21-under with Boutier ultimately bogeying the 16th and birdieing the 18th, making Furue the fifth Rolex First-Time Winner of the 2022 season.
