Rebecca Artis came from six strokes behind Suzann Pettersen to claim her second Ladies European Title at the Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open.

Artis, fired a six-under-par 66 - the lowest round of the tournament in blustery, drizzly conditions at Dundonald Links in North Ayrshire to finish on six-under-par and two sots ahead of Norway`s Suzann Pettersen, the Rolex World No. 7.

England`s Holly Clyburn ended two shots further back in third, ahead of Klara Spilkova and World No.2 Lydia Ko.

\"Sometimes you fight all your life to try and get that first win and sometimes the second win is maybe even harder\", said Artis, 26, from Coonabarabran, who won in similar conditions at the Helsingborg Open in Sweden two years ago, when she came from five shots back.

\"I`ve been playing some really consistent golf since the start of the year, putting myself in contention weeek in, week out.  I knew that with the conditions the way they were predicted to be today that if I went out and played some solid golf, then I wouldnt be far away.\"

\"I`ve got my coaches over here from Australia, Gary and Luke Edwin.  Whenever they`re around I feel like I go to a new confidence level with my overall game.\"

Artis has already qualified for the Ricoh Women`s British Open and her parents, who are flying over from Australia to watch her play, will have a pleasant surprise when they land in the UK.

In the meantime, with a cheque for 75,000 Euros, Artis and her husband Geoff, who is her full time caddie, will be able to celebrate the victory a day after his 31st birthday.
