Winning previously captured this title in 2013 and this is her first victory in any tournament since then – and it brings an end to a difficult couple of years.

“I am so excited, it’s special”, she said after being presented with the trophy and silver gilt medal for a second time.

“It’s a difficult course but I think I’ve played it enough times now to have found my way round. I played it really well back in 2013 when I won and this year I just kept it simple.

“I wasn’t as mad with the birdies as I was last time, just kept it steady and it worked out in the end.”

The former England girl international added: “I’ve been working on my swing constantly in the last two years.

“When I came up in 2013, I was hitting it well and I knew I was hitting it well and I could go out there with confidence.

“This year it was a more conservative approach as my swing is not in a great place. It’s getting better but I’m still not happy with where it is, so it’s nice just to get a bit of confidence back.

“I love Scotland, I love Troon, this is my favourite tournament, my favourite golf course and I couldn’t be happier.

“If there is one tournament I’d want to win in a year, it’s this one and to have done it twice now is incredible. I’m super happy.”
