Matthew 'speechless' after capturing Women's British Open

Catriona Matthew won the Women's British Open by 3 strokes Sunday in Lytham St. Annes, England, capturing her first major title just 10 weeks after giving birth to her second child.

The 39-year-old Scot birdied three straight holes on the back nine to hold her third-round lead. She finished at 1-over 71 for a 3-under 285 total.

"I'm speechless," Matthew said. "To be honest, I didn't play that well today but I holed good putts at the 13th and 14th, which I needed. I never imagined coming back - after not playing - that I could win. It hasn't sunk in yet."

Karrie Webb of Australia closed with a 68 and was second at 288. Sharing third at 289 were Paula Creamer (71), Hee-Won Han (70), Ai Miyazato (73) and Christina Kim (74).

Defending champion Jiyai Shin never threatened in the final round, and a double bogey at the last hole left her with a 75 and a share of eighth place.

Cristie Kerr and Michelle Wie had their best rounds of the week with 69s. Kerr shared eighth place and Wie tied for 11th.

Matthew birdied from 18 feet at 13 and from 40 feet at the next. She also made a birdie at the long 15th.

"When I made that putt on 14, I felt it was mine for the taking," she said. "I felt I'd never have a better chance and I'd better take it. Then once I hit the good tee shot at the 18th, I felt that even I could do it from there."

U.S. Senior Open: Fred Funk took a back-nine victory lap in the U.S. Senior Open.

Funk won by 6 strokes and broke the tournament record with a 20-under total. He shot a 7-under 65 on Sunday at Crooked Stick in Carmel, Ind.

"It's something I really didn't fathom happening, but the biggest thing is just getting my name on that trophy," the 53-year-old Funk said.

Coming off a playoff loss to Loren Roberts last week in the Senior British Open, Funk broke the event mark of 17 under set by Hale Irwin in 2000 at Saucon Valley.

Funk, an eight-time winner on the PGA Tour, won his second senior major, following the 2008 JELD-WEN Tradition. He has five Champions Tour victories.

Moravia Silesia Open: Sweden's Oskar Henningsson made 6 birdies to win the Moravia Silesia Open in Celadna, Czech Republic, by 2 strokes, shooting 13-under 275 at the Prosper Golf Resort. It was the 23-year old rookie's first European Tour victory since he turned pro in 2004.
