Laura Davies found it takes more than loose-fitting ladies' golf shirts to guarantee comfort when competing at the top level.

Laura Davies' relaxed taste in ladies' golf shirts did little to bring her comfort in the Handa Australian Open this weekend.

The Ladies European Tour website reports the turbulent fortunes of Davies, who is renowned for her loose-fitting ladies' golf shirts, during the tournament.

Around the middle of her final-day round, Davies was facing a series of missed putts - while rival and eventual winner Yani Tseng sank birdie after birdie.

But Davies' luck was to worsen when one spectator, who was anything but eagle-eyed, allowed her errant ball to strike his ankle.

Had it not done so, it would have passed through an area of scrub, leaving Davies with a clear shot - but instead she was left on her knees to play a delicate tap that came up short of the target.

"I just wish he hadn't have told me - I was pretty rocked," she admits.

At a career record of played 258, won 39, Davies is still sitting on a success rate of more than 15 per cent, which many newcomers to the sport may envy.
