Stephanie Meadow shares third place in European Masters

Stephanie Meadow has finished third in her first two tournaments as a professional

Northern Ireland's Stephanie Meadow has carded a superb 63 to finish joint third in the Ladies European Masters.

Meadow, who finished third on her professional debut at the recent US Open, had nine birdies in Sunday's flawless Buckinghamshire round.

She finished seven shots behind winner In-Kyung Kim of South Korea.

"I have had a dream start as a professional but it has also been a dream to play in these environments, the US Open and here," said Meadow.

"Being out here playing for a crowd is what I love to do. "

Meadow, 22, now heads to British Open qualifying on Monday.

The County Antrim woman out her course record-equalling round down to consistency over a complete round.

"All week I have had a good front nine or a good back nine. I just could not put 18 holes together but obviously I did so today."
