PALM HARBOR, Fla., Nov. 11, 2012 – Laura Davies, who has won tournaments around the world, added one more victory today to her ever-growing list of triumphs. The LPGA Tour veteran of Great Britain won the ISPS Handa Legends Tour Open Championship by two shots over Beth Daniel.
Davies carded rounds of 70-71 for a 5-under total of 141 to edge out Daniel and Barb Moxness of Edina, Minn., both at 3-under 143. The event was staged on the par-73 Island Course at Innisbrook, A Salamander Golf & Spa Resort.
Now with 82 worldwide victories, Davies captured a winner’s check for $30,000 in her debut on the Legends Tour -- the tour for LPGA Tour members age 45 and over. The big-hitting Brit owns 20 LPGA victories and is closing in on points that would make her eligible for the World Golf Hall of Fame.
"You've got to hit it straight [here] and it's not a golf course I would have thought I would have done any good on,” said Davies. “It's a really tight golf course. But as it turns out, I controlled my game, hit a lot of irons - only used driver three times each day - and it worked out. It's a precision golf course."
Davies got off to a hot start with birdies on two of her first four holes, which gave her a shot of confidence early in her final round today.
“That got me settled because I was a little bit nervous,” she said. “I hit a couple of poor shots in the middle of the round, but overall I think I played solid."
