SOUTHPORT, England — This wasn’t quite the “shot heard `round the world,” though Mo Martin did hear it.

Thinking only about the quality of the shot — not that it might be the winning shot in the Ricoh Women’s British Open — Martin hit a 3-wood from just under 240 yards on the par-5 18th hole at Royal Birkdale and watched it bounced along the links toward the flag.

And then came a sound she won’t soon forget.

“I heard it hit the pin from the fairway,” Martin said, the silver trophy at her side. “That was a pretty fun feeling.”

The ball rolled against the middle of the flagstick and settled 6 feet away for an eagle. Martin closed with an even-par 72 — no one broke par in the 25 mph wind Sunday — and finished at 1-under 287 for a one-shot victory over Feng and Suzann Pettersen, whose birdie-birdie finish was too late to atone for a pair of double bogeys earlier in the round.

She had never won on the LPGA Tour in 63 previous attempts, and her first win made her a major champion.
