GOLF DIGEST: LET: Wales' Becky Brewerton recorded a stunning, six-stroke victory at the Open de Espana Femenino yesterday.

The 26-year-old from Abergele shot a final-round 70 for a four-round total of 270, 18-under-par, at Panoramica Golf Country Club in Castellón.

She finished six clear of fellow Welshwoman Breanne Loucks, Italian Diana Luna and Spaniards Tania Elosegui and Emma Cabrera-Bello.

Hazel Kavanagh closed with a 69 to finish in a share of 29th one four under par.

It was Brewerton’s second Ladies European Tour title following the 2007 English Open and she earned a first prize of €41,250 as well as a place in next week’s lucrative Evian Masters tournament in France.

Brewerton shared the first round lead after opening with a 65, but added rounds of 69 and 66 to be five strokes clear of the field entering the final round.

She was six strokes ahead of playing partner Elosegui after four birdies in her first nine holes, but stumbled to a double bogey at the par-three 12th, when she hit her tee shot into the water short of the green.

A bogey at the 15th was countered by a closing birdie at the last hole.

“I’m so, so happy. To have such a big lead at the start was nice because it was a little bit nervy at the end when the wind was gusting up. It was a brilliant week,” Brewerton said.

* Phil Mickelsonand his wife, Amy, have been told that her breast cancer has not spread to her lymph nodes.

The world number two, who missed his first British Open since 1993, said on his website that the news “improves our chances of beating this in the short and long term.

“We’re awaiting one test result that will influence Amy’s treatment plan.

“The waiting and wondering sometimes can be the most difficult part, but she has a very positive attitude and has handled all of this with her usual grace. I’m so proud of her.”

Mickelson’s mother is also undergoing cancer treatment. After surgery the family are awaiting pathology results.
