Scottish Women's Championship

Ayrshire Ladies team member Luisa Gibson (Irvine Golf Club) carded 2 rounds of 72 to finish the stroke play event in second place on 2 over par. Fantastic scoring.

She was joined in the match play stages by Hannah Ounap (Loudoun Gowf Club) who qualified tied 3rd on 5 over par.

In a nail biting first round Luisa won her match at the 19th hole but, unfortunately, Hannah lost, in another close game, by 2&1

Luisa lost out in the afternoon quarter finals against an in form Ailsa Brannock (Southerness).

Having missed out for the championship match play by one shot, Freya Russell (Royal Troon) had an excellent run in the Clark Rosebowl making it all the way to the final. Unfortunately Freya lost at the 17th hole in a tight final to local girl Eilidh Henderson
