Lauren Coughlin is a recent first-time winner on the LPGA and now the American is going for another. She shot 66 in the Women's Scottish Open and leads by one over Megan Khang going into the final round at Dundonald Links. Coughlin won three weeks ago in Canada and says her confidence is growing.
IRVINE, Scotland — Lauren Coughlin rolled in a bending, 20-foot putt as part of three birdies on the closing stretch Saturday to cap off a 6-under 66 in the Women’s Scottish Open and give her a one-shot lead over Megan Khang at Dundonald Links.“I’m starting to hit the ball extremely well, and I’m just starting to feel really good about my game and myself and trying to keep it going,” Coughlin said.
