Booth wins LET playoff with eagle

Booth, who will turn 20 years old next week, claimed her second Ladies
European Tour victory of the season. The Scotland native won on her home soil
in early May, at the Ladies Scottish Open.

Sunday’s win was quite different for Booth, who fired a 4-under 68 in
regulation to reach 12-under 276 at Golf Gerre Losone. She was joined there by
a pair of Germans — Caroline Masson, who also carded a 68, and Anja Monke,
who fired a 66.

The three players went back to the par-5 18th hole, and they all birdied it
three times in a row. Then, on the fourth time through, Booth hit a great
approach to leave herself with a good eagle chance and rolled it in.

“It was tough. We birdied three out of three and I was thinking, someones
going to have to eagle to win this,” Booth said. “I hit a perfect drive every
time and then 5-iron onto the green to about 10 feet and just holed it, so it
was perfect.”

Mikaela Parmlid (65) and Marjet van der Graaff (70) shared fourth place at
minus-11, while Stacy Lee Bregman (70) and Ashleigh Simon (72) tied for sixth
at 10-under.

Rebecca Artis led after the third round, but shot a 2-over 74 on Sunday and
fell into a tie for eighth with Anne-Lise Caudal (68) at minus-9.
