Ellen Port wins third US Senior Women's Amateur (The Associated Press)

WELLESLEY, Mass. (AP) -- Ellen Port won her third U.S. Senior Women's Amateur title and seventh USGA championship Thursday, beating Andrea Kraus 3 and 2 at Wellesley Country Club.

The 55-year-old Port, from St. Louis, also won the event for players 50-and-over in 2012 and 2013 and the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur in 1995, 1996, 2000 and 2011. With seven USGA women's titles, she's tied for second place with Carol Semple Thompson and Anne Quast Sander, one behind JoAnne Gunderson Carner.

''Fantastic,'' Port said. ''It's always great to win a USGA championship. You work so hard to get here and it's just so special when you can finish it off.
