Ewart Shadoff holds on for maiden PGA Tour victory

England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff claimed her first LPGA Tour title with a wire-to-wire victory at the Mediheal Championship in Somis, California.

Having entered the final day at The Saticoy Club with a four-shot lead, a nervous start left the 34-year-old with plenty of work to do to claim her maiden tour title.

But after splitting two bogeys with a birdie on the front nine, Ewart Shadoff was able to pick up shots on the 12th and 14th holes to regain her advantage headed into the home stretch.

She then held her nerve on the run home, with four straight pars and a round of 71 enough to claim victory with an overall score of 15 under.

Japan's Yuka Saso finished runner-up on 14 under, while Ewart Shadoff's compatriot Georgia Hall finished a shot further back alongside Danielle Kang and Paula Reto.

It was a disappointing final round for Ireland's Stephanie Meadow, with her 75 seeing her finish on four under, tied 32nd overall.

Ewart Shadoff told lpga.com afterwards: "It's a little bit surreal.

"I didn't know if this moment would ever come. I'm just really grateful for everybody who's on my team. Last year was really hard. I'm standing here because of them. I'm just really grateful."
