Stephanie Meadow

Stephanie Meadow finished a season's best tied 10th in the Canadian Pacific Women's Open in Calgary.

Thailand star Jutanugarn carded a six-under par 66 to win by four-strokes at 23-under for her  fifth win of the season

"I think today, like before today I felt like I wanted to have fun and be happy on the course. No matter what's going to happen, I can handle it," Jutanugarn said. "I feel really happy with myself right now."

The Thai player’s victory is all the more impressive given that she was forced to withdraw from the third round of the women’s competition at the Olympic games due to a left knee injury.
