England's Reid wins Vic Open, LET's season-opening event

BARWON HEADS, Australia (AP) -- Melissa Reid of England made a three-foot par putt on the third playoff hole Sunday to beat Germany's Sandra Gal and win the Vic Open, the season-opening event on the Ladies European Tour.

Gal, who closed with a 69 in cool and blustery conditions, and third-round leader Reid, who shot 72 Sunday, finished with 16-under totals of 276 on the Thirteenth Beach golf links.

American Angel Yin (68) and Australian Su Oh (72) were two strokes behind and tied for third.

Reid said she took inspiration from the memory of her late mother.
