Davies wins inaugural US Senior Women's Open by 10 strokes

England’s Dame Laura Davies won the first US Senior Women’s Open with a 10-shot victory, finishing on -16 for the competition.

The 54-year-old, who has 20 LPGA Tour wins and a record 45 titles on the LET Tour, took a five-stroke lead into the final round and shot a bogey-free 68 at Chicago Country Club.

"I haven't won for eight years, this is very high on my list of achievements, I can assure you," said Davies.

"If you've done something like this - 16 under for four rounds around a proper championship course - it can't do anything but fill you full of confidence."

The four-time major winner chalked up her 85^th career win in total. She competes at the Scottish Open at Gullane this week.
