Golf: Matt Fitzpatrick and Scottie Scheffler were left shaking their heads, after the Englishman was not allowed to change his driver, despite having a crack in it.

'That's ridiculous! Another dumb rule!' | 03:25Lydia Ko said she had enjoyed a “Cinderella” story after ending an eight-year wait for a major title by winning the Women’s British Open at St. Andrews on Sunday.

The victory comes only a fortnight after she left Paris a gold medallist, winning the women’s golf individual event by two strokes over Germany’s Esther Henseleit.Start Your Free Trial Today > “This is almost too good to be true. Out of all the major championships, this was the one I had the least amount of confidence in.”Ko, who as a 17-year-old became the youngest player to be ranked number one in professional golf, added: “It is the most Cinderella-like story these past two weeks. To be holding this trophy now, it is some achievement.

“I always said I wanted to win another major championship. Here I am now as a three-time major champion.” Defending champion Lilia Vu failed to sink a 15-foot birdie putt on the last at the ‘Home of Golf’, to force a playoff and then missed from barely 12 inches as Ko, already in the clubhouse, completed a two-shot win.Get all the latest golf news, highlights and analysis delivered straight to your inbox with Fox Sports Sportmail.
