NORTH BERWICK, Scotland: Stacy Lewis won the Ladies Scottish Open with a 23-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff on Sunday (Monday in Manila), giving the American her first title in nearly three years and a confidence boost ahead of the Women’s British Open. My husband said she was hitting the TV screen with her plastic golf clubs when I made that putt. After Lewis holed her birdie putt in the playoff, Knight missed a 10-foot birdie try. Lewis will look to follow up at Royal Troon next week, when the first women’s major of a reshaped golf year takes place. Danielle Kang, coming off consecutive victories in Ohio in the LPGA Tour’s return, was a stroke back after a 69.
