ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (June 10, 2007)-- Wales internationalist Llewellyn Matthews is the new St Andrews Links Trophy holder after he completed a final round 67 for a total of 273, 15-under par. "I've always loved St Andrews, the courses were fantastic," said Mathews after breaking the tournament record by two shots. It was the first time in half a dozen attempts that he has made the cut and his performance in Walker Cup year was sensational. A birdie-3 at the eighteenth was a fitting way to close out the tournament. Llewllyn also won the Ian Forbes Memorial Trophy for leading at halfway.
