ROOKIE ASHLEIGH SIMON WINS CATALONIA
LADIES MASTERS BY TWO SHOTS

South African rookie Ashleigh Simon scored the first of what will almost certainly be many wins at a professional in the Catalonia Ladies Masters near Barcelona today.
Ashleigh, a star amateur who was winning pro tournaments in her native country, had scores of 70, 68 and 70 for an eight-under-par total of 208.
She won by two shots from Becky Brewerton (Wales) and England's Kirsty Taylor.
