Teenage Sydneysider Stephanie Kyriacou pulled off a stunning eight-shot victory over an international field of professionals in the Australian Ladies Classic.

Eleven shots clear at one stage after making seven birdies in her first 10 holes, Kyriacou won from South Korea's Ayean Cho (70) with Sweden's Linnea Strom (66) a further shot back.

The tournament was co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour and also featured a contingent of Americans after their Asian swing was cancelled due to coronavirus.
