GOLF:Gold Coast golfer snares late major start

Karis Davidson Open

Karis Davidson is set to be swapping tournament tips over Weet-Bix with her fellow Australian golfers after getting a late start in the US Women's Open.

Davidson was granted the final spot in the 156-player field for the second women's major of 2026, with play getting underway at the iconic Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The Scotland-born Queenslander placed joint third at a qualifying event in Seattle in late April, making her the first alternate.

The winner of the ShopRite PGA last Sunday earned an Open start but with France's Celine Boutier already exempt, that spot went to Davidson.

It will be her third major, playing the PGA Championship in 2025 and the 2026 Chevron Championship in April when she tied for 67th.
