Ariya on top of the world

Thailand鈥檚 US Open champion Ariya Jutanugarn won the women鈥檚 Scottish Open to go top of the world rankings, posting a final-round 5-under-par 66 for a total of 13-under at Gullane golf course on Sunday. The 22-year-old phenomenon, who became the first Thai golfer to win a major at the 2016 British Open, began the day tied for the lead with South Korea鈥檚 Amy Yang and ended it a stroke clear of Australian Minjee Lee, who clung on tenaciously after also firing a 66. Ariya will head to this week鈥檚 British Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes with a big boost to her confidence as her third win this year saw her go top of the rankings for a second time in her career yesterday, having spent two weeks in top spot in June 2017. Yang never got going and dropped away to finish tied for fifth on 7-under after a 73 to put a dampener on the weekend of her 29th birthday.
