ANDY MURRAY COACH'S DAUGHTER ISABELLE LENDL WINS DIXIE GOLF

Isabelle Lendl, 21-year-old daughter of Andy Murray's coach Ivan Lendl, today scored the biggest win of her amateur GOLF career.
A final-year student at the University of Florida - the Gators - she shot a final round of five-under-par 66 to come from behind and win the prestigious Dixie women's amateur championship over 72 holes at Heron Bay Golf Club, Coral Springs in Florida.
Isabelle (pictured) has won three times on the US women's college golf circuit, including back-to-back wins in the first half of the current 2012-2013 college season but nothing to match this performance.
Starting the final round of the four-round event five shots behind the long-time leader, Carly Ray Goldstein, Lendl, the younger of former World tennis No 1 Ivan, swept past her to win by four strokes with a six-under-par total of 278. Her earlier rounds were 74, 70 and 68.
Goldstein, only 17, scored 72, 67, 68 and 75 for 282, tieing for second place with Yueer Cindy Feng (71-73-70-68).
Isabelle Lendl was a member of the US Junior Ryder Cup team in 2006. She is No 249 in the Women's World Amateur Rankings but she will come tumbling down from that mark in the next revision.
The Lendl family home is at Goshen, Connecticut.
