It was her second title of the year, she won the New Zealand Open in February which is her 40th European Tour victory on the Ladies' European Tour and her 74th worldwide.

 

 "I love playing golf courses which allow me to have fun and use my driver and cut some corners. This is built for me. I think the architect had me in mind." Davies said.

 

The four-time major champion started the day four shots behind Simon, but said that the key was that she did not have a bogey all weekend. She added: "I had four birdies and I didn't have a bogey on the weekend and that's always a good thing."
