Scotland’s Catriona Matthew was beaten by world number one Inbee Park of South Korea, in a sudden-death play-off at the LPGA Championship in New York at the weekend.

Matthew, the 2009 Open winner, carded four birdies in a blemish free final round at Locust Hill, Pittsford, to force the play-off, but it was Park who took a third major title at the third extra hole.

“When I started the last round I probably didn’t realise I could win,” said Matthew. “So to play well and get into the play-offs was obviously pretty good.

“She’s not the kind of player you’d expect to fall back.

“Obviously it’s pretty disappointing, but overall it was a pretty good week.”
