Easy victory for watchful Davies

Easy victory for watchful Davies

Britain's Laura Davies cruised to her 23rd European victory with a closing round of 68 to retain her title in the Evian Masters in France yesterday. With a 14-under-par aggregate of 274, Davies finished four strokes clear of Sweden's Carin Koch. After reaching the turn four strokes clear, Davies took out a hand-held portable television to follow England's progress at Wembley. Only two hours and 18 minutes play was possible before heavy, persistent rain forced the BMW International Open to be suspended for the day in Munich yesterday.
