Digest/ LET TOUR: Home favourite Karrie Webb retained the MFS Women's Australian Open in Melbourne after a dramatic sudden-death play-off.

Aussie Webb clinched the title with a birdie at the second extra hole after she had finished tied with South Korea's Ji-Yai Shin on eight-under-par after four rounds at Kingston Heath Golf Club.

A 12-foot birdie putt at the par-four 18th gave Webb, the world number three, her fourth national title - she previously won the event in 2000, 2002 and 2007.

Webb, who in 2005 was the youngest player to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame, recorded seven birdies and one bogey in her final round, as did the runner-up, 19-year-old Shin.

English rookie Melissa Reid finished in outright third position on a four-under-par 288 after a final round of 70.

Reid, 20, from Derbyshire, even held a brief lead after she birdied the ninth, having already recorded an eagle a hole earlier.

"I played okay," said Reid, who takes the early lead on the LET's 2008 New Star Money List.

"I'm quite happy but I'm here to win. I'm not here to finish third."

SUNSHINE TOUR: Zimbabwean Marc Cayeux smiled through his tears as he lifted the magnificent Nashua Masters trophy and dedicating his ninth Sunshine Tour title and third on the Summer Swing to his newborn baby-son, Ross.

Cayeux , three shots behind at the start of the day fired an inspired four-under-par 68 in difficult conditions, to beat overnight leader Bradford Vaughan by two-shots on a winning score of 12-under-par 268.

"The wind turned three days of 'Mild Coast Sun' into the Wild Coast Sun. That's how it earned its reputation and I am really thrilled to have won under these conditions," said Cayeux.

Vaughan's outside chance of forcing a Cayeux into a play-off, evaporated when his birdie putt at the 18th green lipped-out. The eight-time winner Sunshine Tour winner signed for a disappointing 73.

Local Warren Abery burst onto the leaderboard when he turned in a five-birdie 30. The 2006 Nashua Masters winner added two more for a five-under-par 65 to finish alone in third place on nine-under. England's Justin Walters lost his chance to tie for third when his tee shot at the par-5 16th found the water.
