Celine Boutier and David Law winners at the ISPS Handa Vic Open

There were a few things I liked about this year's ISPS Handa Vic Open. Although the stars stayed away, only 4 of the top 50 women for example came to compete for a small purse, $1.5m, there was a lot to like.

Men and women playing the same courses for the same prize money, spectators walking on the course, with their dogs, good links style course 13 Beach Club, relaxed vibe. It just looked like a great place to go for a good walk in beautiful seaside surroundings and watch some interesting golf while you do.

French woman Celine Boutier played better in difficult weather than the rest over the weekend, 69 72 to win by 2 shots at -8. Boutier is 25, her rookie season was 2017. She resides in Dallas, was an all American at Duke University. She wins $165,000, it's her first LPGA Tour win, she has 2 on the LET.

Alena Sharp rode a strong start to end up T15 at -2 while A.C Tanguay who opened  66 T2, ended up T32 at +1. Jaclyn Lee shot 81 in her 3rd round MDF.

Scottish rookie David Law birdied the 16th then eagled the last to catch then pass leader Wade Ormsby who made double bogey at the 17th, and gets his first European Tour win with a final round 66 -18 total a shot ahead of a posse of Aussie's including Ormsby and Brad Kennedy at -17.

Law graduated from the Challenge Tour last year, this is only his 4th European Tour event, and considering he was planning a career with Scottish Hydro until last year, this was a big moment to say the least.

"It's massive," he said. "It's not something I expected. For me just being out here playing on the European Tour was enough. I've been loving the four events I've played so far and to just be a European Tour player was what I was happy with. To have won today, it sort of changes things a little bit. I'll go home, reflect a little bit on things and reassess"

Canada's Austin Connelly 70 68 73 -3 MDF.
